Candidates for Re-mastering?

I agree that the DCC gold "Blue" sounds pretty good. "Court and Spark" may not be quite up to "Blue" but still better than standard issue. As for remastering and hopefully gold, I'd like to hear Patti Smiths "Easter" and all of Rikkie Lee Jones titles. I read that a remastered gold first Rikkie album is to be released early 2005. I'll be buying that one. BTW: I have the first David Crosby album and I thought it sounded pretty good but I'm sure it could be improved. Let's face it, there's a lot of work that COULD be done.

Tomryan,
I hadn't thought of it quite that way, the issue for me with Roy was he left a suicide note saying he killed himself because he never got all the fame and recognition he deserved, which is exactly the opposite of the words in ‘that’s what I am here for’, but you have a point. Some people, like Hendrix just lived to fast, and left a legacy that will life far longer than they ever could have. Some, like Kurt Cobain died like the little whiney loser they where in life and should never be put upon a pedestal for that! Give me someone like Mark Sandman of Morphine, who only ever wanted to play music and did so for years, and died on stage….. That is someone to respect, he died doing what he loved, not from some self serving habit.

Ken,
I kinda meant that by the time someone is 50 years old (like Roy) it's time to get over this stuff. The man had been playing music, and getting songs played on the radio, since the early 1960s.

thanx for the redtrumpet tip Tomryan. Will check it out. Here is another one; Mahavishnu Orchestra. The CDs of Innermounting Flames etc sound like garbage: especially for thei stype of music where there is so much going on, it really needs instruments being separated occupying their own space: The CDs mid range is all grunge, metallic and hard to follow the bass for example. I used to have their LPs, but no longer have such a system...

Henry,
Mahavishnu Orch. was remastered in very good sound about 4-5 years ago. This includes Inner, Birds of Fire, and The Lost Trident Sessions. Check out this last one and the story behind it. These are the 20 bit Sony remasters and all sound gobs better than original CDs.
