Biography

Journey was formed by Santana manager Walter “Herbie” Herbert in 1973 and found most success in the 70s with classic rock tracks including “Don’t Stop Believing”, “Separate Ways”, “Faithfully” and “Open Arms”.

Their first albums, Journey, Look Into the Future and Next, were notable for their excellent musicianship but failed to secure the success they were hoping for. So Journey made an effort to… Read more in Amazon's Journey Store

2.0 out of 5 stars "Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin / City of The Angels" segue-way still not fixed, August 18, 2006
This review is from: Evolution (Dig) (Spkg) (Audio CD)
Sony botched the 1996 re-master by not preserving the original segue-way that bridged "Lovin Touchin Squeezin" and "City of The Angels". They have failed to correct this error with this newer, supposedly "re-masterd" version.

On the original vinyl release, "City Of The Angels" kicked in before the final chorus of "Lovin Touchin Squeezin" had completely faded to silence - presenting a similar effect that had been utilized for "Feelin' That Way/Anytime" on Infinity. At the time, some AOR radio stations even played these two tracks together.

As completely seperate tracks on CD, the famous ending of "Lovin Touchin Squeezin" becomes clumsy as the final tones of reverb are cut off abruptly. Ultimately, it is only a couple seconds cut off (reverb echoing to silence) - But as one of Journey's signature tunes, you'd think that they'd have taken the time to get it right and preserver the original context of the release.

The original ending of 'Lovin Touchin Squeezin" (with final seconds of reverb) can be heard on the two disc collection, Essential Journey - but of course, as the set is a collection of radio songs, it does not segue into "City Of The Angels" as it originally did (and should) on Evolution.

A minor point I know. BUT - Sony is clearly trying to honor and replicate the original release. They should take the time to check all the details to get it right. Or - why bother?

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT REMASTERED, August 2, 2006
By Walrus "Steve" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Evolution (Dig) (Spkg) (Audio CD)
According to the liner notes (which someone scanned and posted online), this is the SAME mastering job as on the 1996 re-release. The credits even state in this 2006 issue that it was mastered by Bob Ludwig in 1996. Yes, John Kalodner said in an interview that he and Steve Perry were updating the Journey albums to 2006 audio standards, but unfortunately that was not true. The packaging is new, but if you're an audiophile looking for updated sound, you're not going to find it, so save your money. I give one star for the pure silliness in reissuing the exact same disc under the illusion it is a sonic upgrade.

1.0 out of 5 stars Here's Another 1-Star Review!, August 8, 2006
By Jason W. Bellenger (Byron Center, Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Evolution (Dig) (Spkg) (Audio CD)
I agree with Steve! This was simply a waste of time for Sony to even reissue this release without a fresh 2006 remaster! This seems to be a new thing for them to save money. First they threw out the Boston albums in Canada with "remastered" audio from a 2nd generation flat equalized source instead of the original master tapes. Now we get this!

I was really hoping Sony would have spent a little money on this Journey project and put Bob Ludwig in the studio again to give us an improved sonic upgrade 10 years later! I simply don't see the point of these reissues. The 1996 reissues/remasters are still easy to find! They were good for their time, but they simply don't meet 2006 audio standards. Another lame attempt at tricking the fans and cashing in.
