3.0 out of 5 stars Some people dont know when to leave well enough alone, September 20, 2006

5 stars for the actual recording effort on the bands part...1 star for the remaster disaster on Edsels part

Some people dont know when to leave well enough alone......The bass is weak and muddy ...the mids are weak and notched way down...and the highs are excessively overdriven...to the point of being harsh and unlistenable..causing major listening fatigue.

I have waited for several months for the release of these 3 double cd sets by Edsel.....I just gave them a listen....and all three sets must have been done by the same guy.....a guy with a severe tin ear.

The booklet is excellent....but do yourself (and your ears) a favor....if you have the earlier cd vrsions....stick with them....they're head and shoulders above this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sound Is What Is To Be Expected, April 14, 2007

If you are purchasing a Three Dog Night Album of any type you need to know one thing. The original master tapes were lost during the ABC/Dunhill era. MCA obtained the "master tapes" that we all know and love to complain about. I had the original Three Dog Night albums for this CD. The albums never sounded very good. I also have the original MCA/Universal CD's. While this sound isn't stellar, it slightly edges out the original MCA CD's. The last greatest hits sound is just a pinch better on some of the songs than on this CD.

The music of course brings me back to a simpler time in my life. Some day I hope the real master tapes show up. Until then this CD isn't a bad buy.

Of the three Edsel repackages, this combo of "Cyan" and "Hard Labor" is the least depressing. The audio is lackluster in comparison to MCA's original CD releases of the albums, and while the accompanying booklet is nicely laid out, it does contain several factual errors. Edsel dropped the ball here, folks. Better to keep the MCA discs if you have them, or search those discs out.
