Al you may be saying it and hearing it. . . but I don't. I've bought every RVG and I've compared many to the McMaster editions and they don't sound like the same transfers to me at all. They seem fundamentally different than just eq'd "knob tweaked" same transfers. I know a little bit about recording, did some of my own, I'm not an expert but I don't agree with your hypothesis.
This is unfortunate this error, agreed. They'll fix it, and replace it at no cost to the customer, I believe that. I actually like the sound of this version, and I have other versions to listen to until they get it right.
