There's an interesting writeup on all this in the new Wheeler biography (excellent). It was an early 8-track desk and there was strange placement of players and lots of bleed-through between tracks (Oxley in particular). The first mix was a disaster so Kenny brought Bob Cornford in to rework it, which did miracles apparently. From recollection the Incus LP mix has the same issues. Interesting! It does get better after the first couple of tracks though. I must get that Wheeler book. Quote

I wonder if AP could have used that DSD master? Quote
jazzbo Posted April 21 Report Posted April 21 (edited) Doubtful imo--their method seems to be to master from label tapes or what the label sends and then EQ, master etc. I have both the Mobile Fidelity and the Analogue Productions, and the latter sounds a bit better to me on my system, less "digital" in a way and a bit deeper sound and sound stage. Differing ADCs (newer in the case of the AP, and there are quite a few years and digital developments in between) used is my guess as well as differing EQ choices. I never think "this probably could not be improved upon" in the digital reissue world; transferring and mastering seems to always have incremental improvements possible.
