Well, I have all the remasters but I've started going back to find the originals. So far I have:Stranded - EG Polydor (823 019-2 West Germany)
Avalon - PolyGram EG 800 032-2 (West Germany)
Viva! - EG Reprise 26044-2 1989 (Original pressing - USA)These sound better than the remasters. Off to eBay and seek out those first pressings. As long as they came from a good master tape, they are not victims of the "loudness war."
I'm not sure we can blame Ludwig - he may have been under orders to make them as loud as possible, reducing the dynamic range. That, unfortunately, is the trend.
One cannot be sure of a remaster - even when it says "from original multitrack masters" (they all say that).
Google "loudness wars" - lots of material.
Regards,
Geoff
