2.0 out of 5 stars GREAT ALBUM/BAD SOUNDING CD!!!, October 14, 2004

I too am disappointed in the big lie about this CD being

remastered. My CD copy made on my Phillips CD recorder from

the old Makin' Magic Vinyl LP sounds better than this CD from

Holland. My CD copy from LP has a couple of pops but the

clarity is much superior to this Dutch garbage! I know Pat

is selling some of his back catalog at his shows on CD and I

sincerely hope he's selling homemade versions of his early

masterpieces like Makin' Magic, Black Pearl, Hot Shot and

the ones that have been available on domestic and/or import

CDs for years such as Putting It Straight, Heat In The Street,

Go For What You Know and Crash and Burn. I feel ripped off

that my amazon arrival of Makin' Magic sounded so flat!

1.0 out of 5 stars "Makin Magic" .....Remastered???, March 16, 2004

By A Customer

Hello Music Lovers,

Allow me to say from the onset, I have always felt this is P.T's best effort. I would rate Makin Magic a 5. However, my low rating specifically relates to the sound quality of this release. If you're a Pat Travers fan, then you're probably just happy to have this album in CD format and are most likely not too concerned about the sound quality.

At the same time, if you are serious about your music and the quality of the recordings you purchase, you will be disappointed to know, this CD was not cut from the master tapes. While I'm sure the record label did their best to cleanup the sound source, there is very noticeable static and noise on the recordings. You can draw your own conclusions as to what actual source was used to "remaster" this CD.

A Pat Travers fan thru thick and thin, but most disappointed with the sound quality of this "Makin Magic" release.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lousy Quality, May 4, 2005

This is one of Pat's best albums.It's a shame that the people who've tried to remaster this album, dont have capacity to do so. The highpitched crackling noise is unbearable to me(even with a hearing loss of 25 %). The people who have remastered this gem must have been deaf altogether.

If you can get your hands on a vinylalbum, get that one.

It can't possibly sound any worse.
