Has anyone done an A to B comparrison of the just released Nonesuch remasters-are they remastered?-to the original releases on Geffen.
Is it worth the purchase?

I bought most of the early stuff on limited edition gold ECMs from Japan. They sound very nice. Would also be interested in any sound quality improvement in the newer releases as well.
Yes, I believe all the ECMs were available in this series. BTW: For Metheny fans, may I direct you to a mini-review I wrote on 2/21? Jason Vieaux plays a CD of all Metheny tunes on classical guitar. Really quite superb.
Still waiting to hear whether there's an improvement with these Nonesuch remasters. Anyone know who did the remastering?
Just bought the 2006 reissues of "Still Life Talking" and "Letter From Home" on Ebay new/sealed for $7.50 each. First, I'm not sure I understand how they can sell these at that price. Second, the original issues were mastered by Bob Ludwig who usually does an excellent job so I don't know why they were remastered but we shall see. I'll try to report back with a comparison between the originals and the reissues. Kana, I have not heard "The Way Up" so can't comment.
