Free Music Notes for The Lovin' Spoonful - Greatest Hits Album
Free Music Review: EXPECTING TOO MUCH?
Hit: 5 Stars
I purchased this CD with great expectations. Not because of the musical content (I already knew how good that is), but because of the prospect of sparkling sound quality. I am a devotee of Rhino Records and the skills of Bill Inglot, however the sound quality of the Rhino compilation was a big let down when that set was first released. So the prospect of "remastered for the first time from the long lost first generation master tapes" was very exciting. I have spent the last few hours comparing the new release with the Rhino set and I regret to say that if these are first generation master tapes then, unless they have deteriorated over the years, the original sound engineer in the studio when these recordings were made should be out of a job! Sure, these are old recordings but I have plenty of other CD remastered from tapes made in the 50's or 60's where the sound is absolutely stunning. Maybe the Spoonful were recording on a shoestring budget. Who knows. The sound is not stunning and is possibly slightly improved over the Rhino set. Sure original tapes may have been found in the interim but they don't seem to have made much difference. Furthermore I have little doubt that not ALL of the long lost tapes have been found. Some of the later tracks on the set could not possibly have come from original masters. So, 5 stars for the music, 4 stars for the sound, 0 stars for the statements on the back cover(re master tapes AND that Erik Jacobsen produced all the tracks).
