Best and Worst Reissue/Remaster CDs


Lots of remastered CDs are showing up these days. Some are wonderful, others only ok...

I loved the Dead's box set (Europe 72 is better than the record and lots of new stuff included). The remaster of Yes Album was great on EastWest (Japan LP type reissue), but their release of Close To The Edge was harsh. Steve Stills Manassas was much improved in HDCD, but still somewhat limited by the original tapes. Creedence never sounded better. It seems to me that it is all so unpredictable...

What reissues made you weep (either in agony or joy)?

Dave Clark 5 ,remastered by Dave Clark his ownself.Sounds like it was remastered by a deaf guy,which it was(in one ear anyway).My 36 year old vinyl that I used to toss around like a frisbee sounds better than this digitaly remastered piece o junk.
