Free Music Notes for Headquarters (Deluxe Edition, 2 CD) Album

Free Music Review: Wither the master tapes?
Hit: 2 Stars

While the bonus tracks on this CD sound good, I have to agree with other reviewers that the regular Headquarters tracks sound horrible. A large question looms over this release: What happened to the Headquarters master tapes?

In 1986, Arista released the first mastering of Headquarters to CD. The sound quality was excellent, as the source (according to Monkees book author Andrew Sandoval) was the original multi-track remixed to stereo. Purists may have decried this action, but there's no arguing with the excellent audio quality on the Arista release.

One has to wonder if the reason for the 1986 remix was because the original stereo master tapes are either missing or damaged. The quality on this new release sounds as though it is coming from a second generation master, with the production team being heavy-handed with the treble as they desperately try to get some high-end on the CD. The results are an audio nightmare, with tinny, shrill sound.

I do give kudos for the remixes of "The Girl I Knew Somewhere", "A Little Bit Me", and other bonus tracks, which have the best sonics I've heard for some of these songs. If you're a hard core fan, it's worth buying for the extras. Otherwise, I'd pass on this release.
