Smiths remasters...
Posted by: -goat- on 26 July 2013
Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the recently released Smiths remasters. I understand all four LPs and four others have all received the treatment under the supervision of Johnny Marr. There is a box-set of all eight available on CD and the reception seems a bit mixed but mostly favourable. Johnny Marr supposedly was never really happy with the original CD versions and claims these are an improvement.
Furthermore, HD tracks have the four albums in 24bit. I don't suppose anyone has purchased and can give an appraisal? I'm pretty dubious about HD tracks... I had a bad experience with Beck's Sea Change in 24/96 which sounded just the same as the CD version. There is no information as to where exactly they have sourced the files from... $65... bit of a punt! Anyone??
