The stereo of those albums (some of them) is very wide so that's why ebbetts did cd versions of almost everything though, including weird shit like canadian stereo versions, etc, which differ slightly. But I REALLY think it makes more sense to get the unreleased and live material wedded on to the appropriate albums - if nothing else, it means getting MORE of it, right? Granted, they would still be kind of weirdly-sequenced albums with one or two singles at the front followed by a bunch of obscurities. But if they sweeten the deal I just might think it over, at least for a couple, assuming they went ahead and added more outtake/live stuff. I guess I'm just coming from a perspective where, if they just remaster the CDs I'll take a pass because I have the LPs already. The Anthologies are just plain obnoxious, especially the first one with all the talky-talky bits. The PM sets are also really oddly-balanced, anyway - not quite a greatest hits, not quite an odds-and-sods. OK, so it's kind of cool to have all the singles in one place, but it also robs them of context AND presents a somewhat confusing picture for buyers, who can't figure out which album it is that has "I Want To Hold Your Hand" on it. Seriously, I don't see what's so much better (and less cash-cow-ish) about retaining Past Masters and Anthology. Which-let's be realistic here-most people really don't want to hear (or have piggy-backed onto pricey new editions)Īre the people not interested in paying for pricey new editions of things really the target market for remastered versions of CDs that are available in droves in used CD stores the world over?
