it isn't as good as the unreleased DCC, if you're wondering. it's close, but is hotter, and appears to have had noise reduction applied more aggressively. still way better than the standard release, and better than the 40th ann. release.

There isn't any noise reduction on the AF gold disc. I agree it's not that great sounding though.

the master tape might well have degraded in the time between the DCC and the AF. the AF Morrison Hotel, which i'm listening now, definitely doesn't seem to have been NR compared to the W. German Target.

The AF may not have been from the master tape. I don't think AF has always got original masters unlike DCC (or DCC's claims to). But SH said he never used any DSP or digital manipulation on Soft Parade or Morrison Hotel. All EQ was done in analog, then transferred to digital by Pacific Microsonics.

I am wondering why they didn't just release the DCC mastering. Since SH does have a CDR copy (he auctioned one off).

Maybe some of the magic bunnies would have escaped if the CDR was ripped then made as a glass master? tongue.png

Halou, Halou, their last album from a couple years ago, before they became Stripmall Architecture (I think the drummer split amicably, as I think he was at the Wiser show earlier this year) -- this is getting a limited CD release via Kickstarter -- in!
