Hi ton1
A 20 year old recording (that has been played to death) from a poor record deck to a poor tape recorder that sounds better than something the professionals have produced? Not sure about that.
Hi Jah Titus
Absolutely no restoration work was done at all.

These CD re-issues have great sound quality in my opinion:

Studio One's own release on CD is the worst you can put your hands on.

Almost anything on the often discussed Abraham label could classify as worst!

Some crackles (like on the Phil Pratt Thing comp') are often better than a poor remastering which makes the dynamic of the recordings disappear and sounds like a chewing-gum, looks like it was recorded in toilets while the singer is speaking in a big PVC tube floating on water (see what I mean ? ). This sound is typical of a denoise operation with a basic sound software and is really worse than doing nothing.
I totally agree with you on this.
I'd rather hear a bit of cracklin' than the horrible 'PVC tube' sound!
Of course, when done with care and the best equipment, remastering can work wonders...

BEST of late: Baba Dread "Earthman Connection" - not just a killer set, it sounds great!
[cover=2592,2986]
Worst of late: Wailing Souls "Wailing Souls" (SOCD 1126) - sounds drops out, REALLY thin, no bass...
[cover=344,396]
level vibes to all!

Agree Rootsman: Jetstar ´Killer Price´ is unbelievable! Not only the speakers are collapsing, me too!

You were right and I was wrong, I'm listening to it and there's obviously a saturation on the high frequencies. Not the worst CD I've ever heard but really disappointing for a Pressure Sound release.
