This for me is the last chance saloon for these re-mixes.
This is the one I've been hoping for. Salvation, maybe for a Cd version at last.
There have been some notable failures.
The Genesis box sets for example. So much was expected by so many. The end result was IMO overly compressed. And unfortunately that well known latter day Mellotron loather a certain T Banks was involved in the mix, and true to form, the tron is way down from where it originally was in the mix. Entangled for example. The magnificent choir outro is awful!
I'd like to see RF take the Mellotron off ITCOTCK!
No, maybe I wouldn't.

Different thing I know, but I listened again to the remaster of Yes "Tales from Tobys Graphic Notions" earlier today. Terrible, terrible. How that got by QC I don't know. So different from the vinyl.
