That's cool, we all have different tastes in production.
For example I could never stand what Steve Lillywhite did to the Pogues third album, If I Should Fall from the Grace of God. For sure it sounded clean and tidy, but it also sounded small and squeezed and squashed.
It just wasn't the Pogues and it just didn't breathe.
A massive disappointment after the Elvis Costello produced Rum, Sodomy and the Lash 2nd LP that was everything it's successor wasn't.
I guess production style, like guitar playing is mostly a matter of taste. Some like Hank B Marvin some prefer Hendrix. Some might even like both.
I'm sure that this remix will become an interesting adjunct to the original, but it's hardly likely to replace it, is it?
I find it impossible to accept Dylan being intimidated by anyone in a studio.
Me neither.
Virtually right from the start of his recording career, like the Beatles were, he's been very much his own man. The other great thing is that he does seem to care about sound quality and he's forever chasing that perfect sound in his head.
His comments from a few years back about the large sonic losses from studio to CD/LP were interesting too.
I wonder if he still feels the same way today?
