Pat Metheny Group - Geffen Records Remasters

Just wondering if any fellow Audiogon members have purchased/heard any of the Geffen Records Pat Metheny Group remasters - particularly "Letter From Home" and "Still Life Talking"?

As you probably know, "Letter from Home" was released in ~1989 and was interested in your prospective and if the remastered versions are worth the price of admission.

I also believe that the live recording "Road to You" was also released in a remastered version.

I will probably buy them because I am a big PMG fan, but I am hopeful that they improve these terrific recordings.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Ryder, you're correct, that was mentioned in the thread I started on 6-7-07.

As a matter of fact, everyone (including Gerryn on this thread so far) was over there !

Pat Metheny's music deserves much better remastering.

I would like to hear greater depth with more dynamic range and bass slam in this millenium.

My two Gold Japanese import CD's get a little closer, but no cigar, hopefully a recording studio will step up, so our equipment doesn't have to fight so hard to get there.

Ryder and Rx8man: I couldn't agree with you more. Pat Metheny's music deserves much better recordings/remastering.

I went to Barnes and Noble yesterday and the remastered Geffen recordings were not marked "remastered" in any way so I didn't buy them thinking they were not. But these ARE the remastered versions.

Will go back to B&N or order them through Amazon. They are marked with the Nonesuch Records logo on the back and are covered with a outer cardboard sleeve.

Thanks for weighing in on this thread.

It'd be great if Pat Metheny's master tapes went to Kevin Grey and Steve Hoffman at RTI.
