![]() ![]() ![]() For the albums after that, I simply have the early CD versions and I don’t know if there are even any mastering differences or remasters available. I only have one version of this album on CD, the one from the “Original Album Classics” 5-CD box set made in Austria. I prefer the standalone mastering a little bit, sounds a tad fuller. I have two different masterings for this album, a stand-alone Blue Sky CD made in Austria and the one from the “Original Album Classics” 5-CD box set. I only have one version of this album on CD, a Blue Sky CD made in Austria. That one is better than the BGO 2-CD twofer and also better than the stand-alone Blue Sky CD (Made in Austria). I just found a new mastering of this album in the “Original Album Classics” box set which sounds very good to me. I just found a new mastering of this album in the “Original Album Classics” box set which sounds very good to me.Ĭolumbia, 88725465472 (for the box), Made in Austria I have the Columbia CD (Made in Austria) which sounds good to me. That mastering is also included in the “Original Album Classics” box set. The Vic Anesini remaster is the better of the two. ![]() I have the BGO 2-CD set (coupled with “Captured Live”) and the remaster by Vic Anesini with 2 bonus tracks. Same mastering is also included in the “Original Album Classics” box set. I have the US Columbia version of this CD, which sounds fine to me. Anyhow, overall, I like the DCC a little better but the other mastering is also worthy to own and really good on its own (I was really surprised).ĭR9 (the „Original Album Classics“ version has DR11) I am not sure if the DCC was tube mastered or not, but if it was, I think that the tubes can reduce the dynamic range maybe a little bit, I am not sure. The “Original Album Classics” version has a little more dynamic range. The DCC pulls a little more from the tape, more solid low end and a tad finer detail, but overall tonality to the other version is very very close. I have the DCC, which sounds great, and I also just got the mastering in the “Original Album Classics” 5-CD set, which also sounds very good. I prefer the old Columbia CD (Made in Austria) over the MFSL (seems smiley-faced) and the Legacy Edition (too loud/harsh). My preference might still change between these two, who knows. ![]() Overall, I prefer the Austria CD, but the Vic Anesini remaster is also good. The Vic Anesini has good midrange (maybe better than the Austria CD) but is also a tad louder and becomes a little harsh at louder volumes. The original Austria CD sounds very laid back and can be turned up nicely. The mastering I like the least is the one with the 3 bonus tracks (it is the brightest/harshest of these). The original Columbia CD (Made in Austria), the remaster with 3 bonus tracks by Joe Palmaccio (which is also included in “The Perfect Blues Collection” 25 CD box set) and another remaster without any bonus tracks by Vic Anesini (which is included in the “Woodstock Experience” 2-CD set and also in “Original Album Classics” 5-CD set). I have 3 different masterings for this album. Only one good version I was able to find so far, all others I have checked out sounded pretty bad in comparison.Ĭema/One Way (Made in Canada), CDLL-57340, from 1990. Something new for this thread, I am adding dynamic range info also, measured with the Offline Dynamic Range Meter.ġ. These are just my personal preferences, and I am sure that some people will disagree here and there, which is absolutely fine, of course. I just felt it was time for Johnny Winter right now, since I just did some more comparisons and found some new favorite versions just recently. After a long time of no new threads of this kind by me, I figured it would be time for another one of these, and I decided to cover Johnny Winter this time (although I have many other such similar threads already lined up in my head). ![]()
