Ken Dryden Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) I recently acquired a copy of the Collectables CD reissue of McCoy Tyner's Elektra-Musician LP Dimensions and noticed the last two tracks sounded like there were problems with tape speed in the last two tracks. Has anyone else noticed this problem? The tracks are also longer than the original record. I'm going to time them out, playing the CD at the same time as the LP and see what's up.

Spontooneous Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Same problem on my copy. You'd think this wouldn't be an issue with an '80s recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dryden Posted April 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Someone wasn't paying attention when it was remastered, or they used a different tape as the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Isn't Collectables notoriously shoddy about remastering? Their remaster of Johnny Guitar Watson's "A Real Mother For Ya" was ok, but nothing compared to Shout Factory's which was so much better. Funny that this wasn't an Elektra Musician LP reissued by Wounded Bird, when they did quite a few a couple years back, but they use existing sources I think.

felser Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Collectables had very poor remastering early on, seemed to get better as they went on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
