RE: the ABC RSO reconstruction. Perhaps improvements wasn't the best choice of words. The arrangement and excision of tracks in a new engaging musical progression will be very interesting to hear in any event.
RE: the original RSO double LP: What I was referring to was a listening experience speed and pitch corrected, eliminating most of the inherent background noise found on the flac encoded RSO LP on the net (i.e. vinyl pops and hiss), while keeping the original album tracks and arrangements as they were presented. Basically, a remastered original RSO double LP compiled from the best sources you have.
Nostalgia is a big thing for me. I played that double LP more times than I can remember when I was a kid. To have a cleaned up version of that exact album for posterity's sake would be something great to have in the vault, in addition to all the fine work you've done on your own version and the complete score as well. Would it become my defacto ESB album? Probably not. But it would certainly bear quite a few listens when I need to get transported back to 1980/81.
Again, it's something I'd love to have, but this is and always has been your project. If you want to make the album, great! If not, I'm sure I'll live. But I hope it's something you'll consider, if not for this project, maybe for something as an aside.
Anyway, keep up the great work!
edit: and again you beat me to the post with your own edit! ;)
Yeah, I probably could arrange it myself, and the vinyl rip out there is sufficient enough as is. I may actually consider doing this once you release the AE. Again, it was just a thought and I'm definitely more than pleased with what you're doing here.
