I hope you continue to restore it so it can be heard the way it was suppose to be heard.

... I won't left my hammer !

I have a question about your latest "The Duel" restoration job. Maybe I am too used to hearing this track on the SE album, but this latest version seemed muffled and restrained. I realize that the ESB SE album was improperly mixed, but that track seemed more "vibrant" on the SE album...

The RSO version is the track with the more reverb in it. It may actually be shocking to know they have reverb but I guess it was more or less a standart in the vynil area, and worth to notice such kind of effect was far more natural and deep than our computer generated ones. Actually this track has too much I think.

What makes the SE version so "vibrant" is as you say because of a different mix. Notably the harps are very close and I would have loved to borrow them through layering (but the mixes are too different *imo*).

This track is the hardest RSO one to make fit in the set because of its depht. It remains better than any version of it, and once your ears dive in it there's enough to be heard for you to "vibrate". ;)

Anyway, keep up the awesome work and I hope you don't get too discouraged from the seemingly lack of interest in your work. I am certainly behind you 100%!

Nice !

It's like hearing the Beatles in stereo your whole life and then hearing them in mono.

I never have listened the SE album more than 5 min... I mean outside of checking it of course.
