How do you know that these albums are digitally sourced?
If they were fair dinkum about this set they’d include both mixes of Stage Fright.
Considering the astounding clarity and beauty of the Rober Ludwig mastered original lps, its hard to imagine these digitally sourced ‘replacements’ will sound better.
I already have audiophile vinyl editions of `Big Pink` & `The Band` so I will not be bothering as I have all the remastered CDs.
Oh, thank goodness you posted that… I was waiting to hear what you were going to do before making a decision.
Why do people insist on posting inane comments like that letting people who don’t care at all know they won’t be buying something?
My `inane` comment was made as a message to the record company, The box set is sourced from a digital source had it been sourced from analogue sources I would have been praising Universal. My comment was meant to be negative not `inane`.
I will not comment on your response, it does not merit one.
I hope UMG will issue a cd version too, it seems all the record companies only want to cater for vinyl fans
Disc Union produced a box set towards the end of last year. The CD’s were in the paper sleeve mini-album format replicating the original artwork including the very short-lived artwork on the first issue of Moondog Matinee – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moondog_Matinee#/media/File:Moondog_Matinee,_The_Band,_original_cover.jpg – all with period replica labels. The discs were produced in the DSD format on SHM discs. You may or may not still be able to find a copy somewhere. Good luck!
