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 weaker than the original CD ...the mids are notched way down...and the highs are excessively overdriven...to the point of being harsh and aggressive..causing major listening fatigue.

I find that many of these "so-called" remasters are victims of compression overdrive...seems to be techique these guys just have a need to over abuse...They did the same injustice to the JOURNEY catalogue....It's almost painful to the ears to sit and listen to the entire CD......We used to call it "listeners fatigue" back in my days of selling HiFi gear in the 70's.

I have waited for several months for the release of these 3 double cd sets by Edsel.....I just gave them a listen.....but the booklets are definitely worth the price

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally........... "Around the World..." on CD, September 19, 2006

By

This review is from: Seven Seperate Fools/Around the World With (Audio CD)

For whatever reason, "Around the World with Three Dog Night" was the only one of their best-selling LPs thru '74 that was not released on CD when the rest came out 'round 20 years or so ago. (Were they not able to fit 75 min. on in the early days?) Fortunately, this better-late-than-never issue on Edsel does not disappoint. Some of you may have already purchased the title on a particularly popular auction site (as I did a year or two ago) only to find that while the sound quality wasn't bad, it was transferred at the wrong speed (too fast), and contained a *skip* at the beginning of "An Old-Fashioned Love Song" (I returned mine with no problem). They also misidentify track 4 as "The Family Man". Well, this is the real deal, and they also do a good job mixing the 4 LP sides together so that it plays thru without any silent breaks. (I think there's a few seconds of chatter missing from the intro to "Good Feelin' 1957", but I believe that was cut from the original cassette version as well - minor quibble). I was a little nervous when I saw on the cover shot the *Promo - Not For Sale* sticker in the corner, wondering if they would have actually used that vinyl as the source for the CD. Obviously not. And if you've not yet heard this recording in any form, but have had their other (Forum - '69) Live album in your collection, you can be sure that this sounds infinitely better (the other was simply poorly recorded). And it took me quite a few listens of the original release to realize that they actually used the original *studio* recordings on 2 of the tracks ("Black and White", "Out in the Country"), although editing them in well enough to fool my then-teenaged ears (at least temporarily). The rest of the album is *authentically*, apparently, "Live". I was hoping that when this was finally released on CD, they might expand it to 2 discs and include a bunch of other tunes from the same tour ("Celebrate" and "One" being two notable omissions). Maybe in 5 years or so, or whenever they release it in the U.S., or whenever they finally make it into the Hall of Fame (hello.... anybody home??) No offense to Percy Sledge, but how many people can name one *other* song that he recorded? Anyway, as far as "Seven Separate Fools" goes, not much to say here if only because it has continued to be reasonably available on CD from the original issue, though a quick listen to "Pieces of April" with the headphones confirmed that the sound quality is great. And if you're wondering how they managed to get 3 vinyl LPs onto 1 CD.... they didn't. The current Amazon info is incorrect.... this is a well-priced 2-disc set. Now if they'll just give us a 3-fer of "Coming Down Your Way", "American Pastime", and "It's a Jungle".

3.0 out of 5 stars 1 out of 2 ain't acceptable., September 26, 2006

This review is from: Seven Seperate Fools/Around the World With (Audio CD)

This package of "Seven Separate Fools" & the previously unreleased (legitimately, that is) on CD "Around The World..." is spoiled by poor audio mastering on the "Seven Separate Fools" disc - in particular, "Black And White" starts out with obvious tape warble, while both "Chained" & "Midnight Runaway" are faded out early. The original MCA cd release is far better. In regard to the second disc (and yes, this is a 2-disc set - there's no way both albums would fit on a single disc, considering that the live album was a 2-LP set back in 1973), it is a fair transfer of the original audio content, but nothing to get excited about.
