Jackson Browne CD's

I had no idea until this morning that there are newly-remastered (01/2008) versions available from the usual retailers, etc. Amazon, BestBuy, and the like are all listing practically the entire early catalog as recent remaster releases. I can't tell you (yet) how good any of these is but I do know I'll try to hit a couple of stores on the way home this afternoon to see if there are any available.

"Late for the Sky" has always been one of the greatest and most frustrating CD's I've ever owned. I darned near played right through the album way back when and have had to live with the compromise of LFTS on CD ever since.

Thanks for starting this thread, Pdn, 'cause otherwise I wouldn't have gone looking and found out about all the remasters out now.

Pdn - Yup I ordered 'em and yup I like 'em. I found the 01/13/2008 "street date" CDs at CDUniverse - these are the recently and (I think) much better mastered CDs. "For Everyman" is about all I could hope for, given that the source is from 35 years ago - definitely recommended (plus prices were OK given the improvements). Unfortunately, I think I may have gotten their last copy of Everyman - it's been backordered since my ship date. Sorry 'bout that...

If you're unhappy w/ the original CD sound I'd highly recommend these - it's worth the wait for these to get back in stock.

Pdn - Ladanyi did work on a bunch of Browne's albums way back when. I know he did Running on Empty, Hold Out, etc. - whether as engineer, mastering, whatever Ladanyi was on literally every one of the earlier albums. I think he's even part of a conversation on Running on Empty, too (but I'm too lazy to get up & check that part).

Glad you finally found your copy of Everyman. The remasters were definitely worth the purchase.
