Pat Metheny Group - Geffen Records Remasters

Just wondering if any fellow Audiogon members have purchased/heard any of the Geffen Records Pat Metheny Group remasters - particularly "Letter From Home" and "Still Life Talking"?

As you probably know, "Letter from Home" was released in ~1989 and was interested in your prospective and if the remastered versions are worth the price of admission.

I also believe that the live recording "Road to You" was also released in a remastered version.

I will probably buy them because I am a big PMG fan, but I am hopeful that they improve these terrific recordings.

Thanks in advance for your input.

I have most of Pat Metheny's CD's and would be interested to know if the remastered versions would be an improvement over the original Geffen label as well. The older albums in the 80's(including "Letter From Home" and "Still Life Talking") are lightweight in the bass and quality of recording is lacking in comparison with the more recent works from Metheny. I find "One Quiet Night" recorded on solo baritone guitar to be of exceptional quality.

My comments are solely based on CD's as I do not own a single piece of LP. I have read that ECM LP's from Metheny have very good bass, and if I'm not mistaken this comment was made by Xiekitchen in another Pat Metheny's thread here.
