Why is sound quality on the mid-sixties soundtracks so poor

[javilu]

I was 6 when Elvis hit with Heartbreak Hotel in '56. I grew up listening to the original mixes of whatever the current RCA release was at the time. I know them. I'm comfortable with them. They're like old freinds. I HATE when somebody screws with them. The original, vintage mixes is what I prefer.

If it was up to me, I would have released the soundtracks as 2 cd sets.
Disc 1: Original mix plus outakes. Disc 2: Remix of the album (a la Double Features) plus more outakes.

Great idea. i like it, provided Lene R. is locked in her room and has nothing to do with the project. Yes, I would re-buy the '60's soundtracks if they were presented in this way. Give the remixing/remastering job to Vic Anesini.

Glad you like the idea
All Elvis fans should brainstorm together.
