Larry Kart Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 may be a dead issue now, but yesterday I was listening to a good 1983 Barron album "Variations in Blue,"( Muse), which raised a general question in my mind. Engineered by Elvin Campbell, the sound quality is not that good -- rather dull and claustrophobic. I know that much can be done with original master tapes to remedy such problems, but if master tapes aren't available, what then, if anything? And since much if not most latter-day Barron is on Muse, would that label's master tapes be obtainable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Kart Posted March 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 Thanks Brad, though I wouldn't be surprised if they had lost track of such material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmonahan Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 Responding to the title of the thread, Mosaic has issued material from Muse before (the Woody Shaw set), but it has in general seldom had access to material owned by Concord.
