Is Warner to blame for that or MOV? The latter has the distribution licence? Do they have the freedom to decide whether the release is 1 or 2 discs? Who decided to have Spike on 2 discs? I honestly don't know ...sweetest punch wrote:I heard this reissue and I’m underwelmed: Warner crammed more than thirty minutes of music on side 1 and as a result the vocals and guitars are sharp and loud, the bass and drums sound thin.
Why didn’t they press it on two LP’s, like they did with the Brutal Youth vinyl reissue and the Spike vinyl reissue? For instace, “… This Town…”, which sound is comparable with some of the songs on Mighty Like A Rose, has great separation and detail without sounding too loud or harsh.
The sound on side two seems a little better (side two lasts about 22 minutes), but the only songs that sound warm with a lot of detail (and better than I remembered) are the slow and acoustic “After The Fall” and “Broken”.
A missed oportunity!!

These are CD era recordings that took advantage of the larger canvas. (1 of 2) ELVIS COSTELLO - MIGHTY LIKE A ROSE - Music On Vinyl
https://twitter.com/ElvisCostello/statu ... TRM7Pg3kBwWB have never consulted or asked for the involvement of the artist, missing the opportunity to make these worthwhile double-vinyl editions. Do not patronize. They are just making up the numbers. ELVIS COSTELLO - MIGHTY LIKE A ROSE - Music On Vinyl
Great to hear! I'm looking forward to receiving this release next month!Miclewis wrote:I know that Elvis might not have been involved in this release, but it does really good - much better than any CD I've had of MLAR. Some songs sound so good that you would almost think they were remixed. I think it just that the separation is much better.
I really don't think it is the medium that is the determining factor (analog vs. digital). I'm guessing that the mastering onto these vinyl releases is just so much better that the crappy sounding CDs they put out. I recorded the album 24/96 into my computer, I can down-res to 16/44, throw it on a CD, and it will sound so better than the official CDs.
