DCC Cars S/T question for Steve

Steve,
Just acquired your Cars S/T disc courtesy of another forum member. I think it sounds fantastic, and it is rewarding dedicated and repeat listening, even though I've heard the album a thousand times before.

I was wondering what maldies affected the original three CD issues that you corrected with the DCC release. For example I'm detecting, in the same vein as your DCC Van Halen disc, a lot more clarity in the bass guitar - leads me to believe you found a tape that wasn't rolled off in that area, just as with the VH disc.

Is there more to the story with the Cars disc, or was it just as simple as using a non-rolled-off tape?

 

Were it always so simple....

Thanks a lot, Steve!

 

I meant more "why can't everyone think like this." Obviously it's not that simple, because everyone doesn't do it.

 

Sad and true...all our collections are littered with examples of those who didn't do it right....sigh...

For some reason, this is the disc I always pop in when I crave the Hoffman-sound.

It just has that "meaty" midrange and solid bass that all rock albums should have!

 

Sometimes less is more... Steve works hard to get those results!...Others feel their way is the "Right" way...but...WE know better Aren't -we- lucky! Oh yea!

 

We hear and obey

 

IIRC, you did the same with Buddy Holly as well and haven't played God since Chuck Berry, correct?

 

Okay, see, now we're getting somewhere... Have the wrong mixes been used on all the other cd issues? Vinyl?

 

speaking of Buddy Holly, isn't tonight the anniversary of the day the music died?
