Understand what youre saying totally and Mofi is a crap shoot these days-didnt used to be. I was totally underwhelmed by teir relase of Santana's first album-dynamics absent, compressed-the original Columbia release is much better. This was released on their Gain 2 series which has been much better than this record. I recently bought INXS's "Kick" which is on their supposedly lesser Silver label, and this record is very good with good dynamics and the life not squashed out of it, so go figure. Maybe its just down to who is in the studio doing the remastering at the time.
MoFi Release Meets Expectations FINALLY
I have purchased 8-10 MoFi releases in the past year, but mostly I have been either underwhelmed or disappointed with the sound of them. The Pixies Doolittle lacks clarity and sounds really boomy. The Grateful Dead's Live/Dead does not come close in sound quality to the digital reissue. And of the four Elvis Costello reissues I bought, only Armed Forces sounds good enough to justify the cost.
I just got The Grateful Dead's Wake Of The Flood the other day, however, and it sounds amazing. They did a great job with the mastering on this one. Anyone else heard it?
