Whatever Happened To That ""Improved" Song For My Father?

[DMP]

There was a discussion about this awhile back - someone had gone back over every speck of the tape and fixed it up, sounded like a big deal (although some noted that it wasn't, really)- couldn't locate the thread... Anyway, did this ever see the light of day?

And yet, no mention of any repairs to the title track.

[six string]

Are you talking about the Music Matters 45 rpm release of the album? They made an exception to their analog chain for the title tune because of a damaged master tape. From what I remember the defect is on every release except for the first pressings. The flutter was repaird in the digital domain and that is the one exception of a digital signal being used for their lps. It was a painstaking process that had to be done manually. It was mentioned on the Steve Hoffman board before it was released. HD probably used that source for their d/l as I'm sure they recorded the entire album digitally since they are also releasing some of the albums through an XRCD program.
