Joni Mitchell remasters on the way

FYI, some remastered Joni albums from an amazing period are on the way. I’m especially excited about how "Miles of Aisles" turns out, because that album really needs a remaster.

"Rhino explores the beginning of the prolific Asylum era with THE ASYLUM ALBUMS (1972-1975), the next installment in the Joni Mitchell Archives series. The collection features newly remastered versions of For The Roses (1972), Court And Spark (1974), the double live album Miles Of Aisles (1974), and The Hissing Of Summer Lawns (1975). All four were recently remastered by Bernie Grundman."

I found this article to be scatterbrained, poorly thought out etc, but it does do an effective job of exposing the “Remastering Industrial Complex”.

As I have said many times: take care of your original or initial pressings from 20-70 years ago: the reissued “remasters” may sound different, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but they are unlikely to sound better, and my experience is that 9 times out of 10, they sound worse.

A notable exception is Jimmy Page’s remastering of the Zep LPs. That might have something to do with the fact that Jimmy is an artist as well as a producer.
