In Reply to: One more question... posted by LoWang on April 14, 2007 at 13:05:31:
I'm saying that the early Japanese and West German CDs were available in the USA - they just were not made here.When CDs were first made in the US, they were not a victim of the "loudness wars" - I'm referring to the '80s, before the concept. Early US-made CDs are also very good.
Remastering to make a premium product was started by MFSL, and releases like the CBS MasterSound series. These are all quite good, certainly with respect to reasonable levels.
I am saying that once the trend of really "hot" mastering for popular releases took hold - from the mid-90s onward - remastering by the majors of albums that had previously been released on CD in the early days seem to suffer from the same affliction. They were afraid to make a remaster that wasn't also jacked up nice and loud like CDs of new material that they were making.
Regards,
Geoff
