Not me.
Not Dire Straits (great but haven't played M Knopfler since he collaborated with Emmylou in '08). Not MFSL. DarkLantern blog - darklanternforowen.wordpress.com

Post by foveaux on Oct 11, 2019 13:45:45 GMT 12haha... sorry chaps, just have to repeat my comment in the earlier Beatles Abbey road thread: "....I'm in Michael's camp. Caveat emptor. So many reissues, re-engineered, remixes etc. have the unmistakable stench of 'marketing' money transfusion vs musical integrity. How many times are they trying to bleed us punters dry?..." or bastardizing the saying "there's many a good fiddle played on an old tune"

Making Movies is my favourite and I find that the Grundman/Ludwig 2014 remaster beats my clean NZ 1980 pressing.
If I wasn't under an embargo i'd be tempted by a sacd version for the bedroom system and the day when all the lps have gone.

i'm not swayed by BG
most of his stuff sounds very solid state, mechanical.

Not me either.
The Vertigo pressings sound excellent to me.
