Thank you very much for sharing this.
I understand the process of doing your own remastering... Sometimes you are better served by yourself. No problem considering doing it with a K7, with a vinyl, especially depending on the equipment used to digitize these media.
The CD is less obvious. We tell ourselves that nothing beats the original.
Then comes the frustration of completely failed remastered editions.
I've done this (my remaster) with the 'Concerts in China' 40th anniversary edition.
Beyond the record quality, I wonder where I was in 1988 for having forgotten the original intro to the strack Révolution, Révolutions. I rediscovered it and realized that I only have versions with the Arabic orchestration.
Was the CD very widespread and accessible in 1988 in France? (wow capricious memory
)
I wonder how many original albums ultimately underwent changes like this?
Like for example Zoolook, quite quickly with the remix version and in a different order from Zoolook and Zoolookologie.
The 2 different mixes of Cities in Concert: Houston/Lyon. The Hong Kong album which is shortened to 1 CD version, or Jarremix with one less mix in second intention.
Besides, this could be the subject of a post... all these differences
For my part, since Zoolook 40 years edition, I have returned to the essentials, to the origins. Long live the breath, the crackling, the authentic.
