One of my all time favorite albums ever is Jackson Browne's "For Everyman". I literally wore out my LP back in the day. But now the CD version's overall sound quality and fidelity is down right awful. Horrible sound. Does anyone know or may have heard if this CD will be digitally remastered in 24 bitstream or perhaps in HDCD? I don't have an SACD capable player so that won't work. I am unable to find out any info on the net. Jackson's two more recent CD's (I'm Alive and Naked Ride Home) sound fantastic. No comparison. Any info would be appreciated. I know it's a long shot.
I agree with you entirely on the album and the recording quality. The cuts redone on his greatest hits CD are much better. I feel the same about my alltime favorite, Late for the Sky. It's a shame the recording quality was so poor. Jim
I was just thinking about this post. I have the original LP issue of Late for the Sky. Very Good sonics however I wore it out and purchased a subsequent lp copy. Terrible. I had the same reaction to the cd issued by Elektra. My remastered (Mobile I think but will have to check) CD is quite nice though. The greatest hits sounds are much better than the Elektra CD.
The Running On Empty reissue CD last year sounded good though.
A few of His cds were remastered on the DCC Gold discs I have Late for the Sky and the Pretender not sure if for everyman was also done on DCC, they are great versions. All out of print I think so check around. The solo acoustic vol 1 is a fantastic disk.
