The Who - 2014 Remasters (HDTracks/iTunes)

how can you see that it was originally upsampled after you downsampled the files yourself first?

 

I was talking about the high res files before downsampling ofcourse. I'll see if I can attach a screen shot when I'm home from work.

 

another attempt
most versions of the recent My Generation releases feature more or less the same tracks in Mono and/or Stereo. But here are the differences (ignoring different mastering, all vinyl releases and CD releases pre-2002):


"Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" (French EP) [Mono]

• only available on iTunes. This is the same recording as the "Alternate Version" from various stereo albums (which all are new mixes), most likely a needledrop of the original French EP.

"Instant Party Mixture" [Mono]

• only available on iTunes and as Hi-Res download. Unclear is this is a new mono mix, a new folddown or the original mono mix (which was never released before)

"Circles" (Alternate Mix) [Mono]
only available on:

• 2008 Japanese Audio-CD "UICY-6988"
• 2008 Japanese SHM-2-CD My Generation Box "UICY-93533/4"

Fantastic work! Makes sense and would be a valuable if we could get a 'core' collection list for all the albums. Would take an age to complete though!

 

Could you elaborate more on that? The live takes are longer?

 

thanks. It could be done. But knowing how long it took to make this one list.... I don't know. And I don't even know if I haven't forgotten anything or if the infos I have are incorrect.

 

Is anyone else disappointed with the contents of Sell Out? I would have liked to see more from the reissue i.e Jaguar and the missing verse of Odorono as a couple of examples.

 

MG mono album US/UK, 21st century stereo mixes, non lp songs with vintage and modern mixes, all that stuff, etc, makes for an interesting homemade, essential multi-disc set. Plus the available High Numbers recordings. Since mentioned, re: The Good's Gone and I Don't Mind, I can't listen (exaggerating a bit there, or a lot...) to the short versions anymore since the full recordings have been released, but when I think of how they were originally released on the lp, it helps me to think of those as something like radio edits/single edits. The MG 'compilation' seems to be an ongoing project as even little extras like Instant Party in mono has now received a release. AAA would have been a major deal to me mixed to stereo if only it contained the better lead vocal. When I made a homemade comp of the stereo mixes for the MG album, it was fun for me to include Instant Party (since it is titled ) Mixture following Circles with of course I'm A Man included and the stereo mixes of the unedited Good's Gone and I Don't Mind. A second disc of the singles, b sides, and non lp tracks makes for even more fun listening. Now with Instant Party Mixture in mono, I can do about the same for a comp of the album in mono.

 

Based on highresaudio.com, it looks like more is coming with the stereo mix: https://www.highresaudio.com/artist.php?abid=310877 (I, too, love "Jaguar"). Presumably the US will be getting this and other "new" releases imminently. -E

 

am i right in thinking the official versions of Naked Eye [YV] are still edited towards the end [when compared to the bootleg] where Roger seems/mumble to forget his lines of "we're not pawns in any game" etc.
if so,i'm surprised they've never attempted to fix this with his vocals from another live recording.
even just as an experiment to see how it sounds.

 

The new download version is unedited, and the Deluxe Edition was as well.

The mix on the box set was edited, and the mix on the '95 CD was a bit less edited.

 

yes.i recall the first 2 versions were quite edited,and i haven't listened to the DE in ages,and i tend to turn it off after the first half...........it quickly loses steam!

 

The WN HD still baffles me though.
Why just release the YV songs they had already.
it must be aimed at a upcoming CD/SHM disc release?

 

Presumably just releasing (more or less) what's already on CD is easier from a legal perspective than doing a new expanded release.

Last I knew there were no plans for physical releases. The updates were specifically for (HD) download purposes.

 

Just when you think you've finally cracked it and got everything ...

 

I can picture myself in, let's say, five years, buying the absolutely complete Live At Leeds with no edits at all and great sound quality .

 

God bless the Who and their super consistent approach to reissues.....

 

ponomusic.com is now open and has the releases we are expecting from HDtracks: Who Are You, Odds & Sods, It's Hard, and Face Dances.

Me too.

 

For me, off the top of my head, it's the middle section of that concert with IDEKM, probably TMOA, and Bargain, where things go awry a bit and I agree it loses Its pace and steam there. I find though with Bony Moronie, Water, and Naked Eye that they get back on track, and of course, I really like that version of Gettin' In Tune with its multiple guitar solos. I would like to hear the rest of the concert in that kind of audio quality though too, especially BDDI.
