I do this 24/7.
(It is a vast improvement over the previous CD version in America.)

I assume that when Robert said the masters were erased he meant the original multi-track tapes - which would be most useful for taking the individual bits and mixing them up.
I hope that Rhino wouldn't stick a big "digitally remastered from the original master tapes" label on something if it weren't true. (Truth in the music industry? Hopeless romantic? Me?)

So you're thinking just the original multi-track tapes were lost. So what would these be "re-masters" of? I'm so confused. Regardless, the sound of Doubt on the deluxe version of Faith ain't so good. Oh well.
― matt2 (matt2), Friday, 27 May 2005 13:53 (eighteen years ago) link
So, if Faith were recorded in 16 tracks, the tape would be divided 16 ways to record 16 different instruments, voices and effects. This would then be "mixed down" to 2 tracks which would become the stereo album master.
If the original album 2 track master tape is around, one can re-transfer it to a digital format - equalize it, normalize it, remove hiss and static - i.e., remaster. But you can't remix it beyond making it mono or cutting and pasting parts of the full song - no individual instruments.
Make sense now?
I haven't noticed any problems with "Doubt" myself, but I've only heard mp3s (still waiting for the CD to be delivered).

Due to an unfortunate combination of circumstances the first copies of the 2 CD 'Three Imaginary Boys Deluxe Edition' were accompanied by a 16 page booklet missing the song words... All later deluxe editions will be accompanied by a 20 page booklet including the song words... For those of you wishing to get these missing words please click here to download a unique artwork PDF to print and keep... Robert
"All later deluxe editons will accompanied by a 20 page booklet including the song words" Does anybody have any info on this?

I like the idea that someone comes up to Dan for his birthday, says to him, "As a gift, the master tapes of songs from two of your favorite bands!" and they turn out to be "Push" and "Mint Car" by the Cure and "Domino Dancing" and the Introspective mix of "I Want a Dog" by the Pet Shop Boys.

"Push"? NO FUCKING WAY UH-UH.

I have retooled redux CD 4 as a 'Push through the ages' compilation with 18 different versions.
NO NO NO PUSH HIM AWAAAAAAAYYYY!

I read the lyrics before I actually heard it, so I had a mental image in my mind of a minor key creepfest with harder-edged guitars and more snarling than yelping. Hearing the gossamer popfest, all-out chirpathon that is the actual song was the biggest Cure-related disappointment of my life; I was expecting "The Snakepit Pt 0".
Also the delivery of the lyrics is really, really embarrassing.

(Let me interrupt this thread to say that Unto Ashes' reworking of "The Drowning Man" on their new album Grave Blessings is absolutely brilliant and that Dan has to hear this thing ASAP.)
