The remastered version is worse

The Rematsered "Layla" is worse too.

I bought a remastered version of the first couple of Gene Vincent albums (with Cliff Gallup) and was horrified by the sound quality. The 2 CD's are unlistenable. I'm not usually bothered by such things, but this was really bad. I have a greatest hits that I found at a flea market (for $1) that is way better sound quality-wise. Too bad someone "improves" on old stuff and destroys it in the process.

I agree with this. The original was so much better sounding.

Listening to "The Airborne Toxic Event" album. Has a great song on it Sometime Around Midnight. Awful mix. Almost unlistenable. Its too bad that mixing has become a lost art. I still like quality recordings even if they are on my Altec Lansing computer speakers.

LOL, I just re-read the first post, didn't realize that "Replacement's" wasn't a typo, I thought he had just got the "replacement Let It Be"!

That's what happens when you read the Gear Page too late at night!

Who would name their album after an already super successful album?

I guess they were just being cheeky.
