Regardless of mastering quality, everyone should own either Legend or Collection (or Shaved Fish) in order to have "Cold Turkey" in your collection. Lennon's finest solo track IMHO.
John Lennon, good music, poor fidelity
I just picked up a CD title "Lennon Legend, The Very Best of John Lennon" put out by Polyphone in 1997.
The fidelity is mediocre to poor. I've also found this to be the case with every Beatles title I have including the MoFi LP box set. Did the guys that mastered these have tin ears or is the source material subpar?
Are there any Lennon compilations with audiophile fidelity? If not, are any of the individual releases good fidelity, CD or LP.
