Sony Mastersound cds

These came out during the mid 1990's and I bought several of them as they purported to from the original mastertapes and were a bit cheaper than those issued by so-called 'audiophile' labels such as MFSL and DCC.

They were a mixed bag - I couldn't get on with the issue of Boston S/T being screechy replacing that by a regular US version - and failed to see the sense and trying to make a audiophile issue of Bat Out of Hell, an album that has lots of mixing issues whatever you might think of it musically

This is one people disagreed over and I feel the original lp is king but this is overall better.

This though was pretty good coming out in 1996 presenting her vocals well.

This 1992 issue was speed corrected and used a new stereo mixdown for much better sound than the 1986 Jazz masters cd issue.
