Oh, you mean that set that you swore would never see the light of day, yeh I remember ...vivaelvis_72 wrote: Besides, I haven't heard the new masters since they are only available on that overpriced box set that's been going around.
What? I never said that. I said I have not heard it yet. It's too expensive for me to get at the moment. And why so many comments about Viva Elvis aimed at me? If you're referring to my name then it's what I go by on all forums. Just a name. I think you and some others have me confused with someone else. I haven't been a member here but just for about a month.minkahed wrote:Oh, you mean that set that you swore would never see the light of day, yeh I remember ...vivaelvis_72 wrote: Besides, I haven't heard the new masters since they are only available on that overpriced box set that's been going around.
How many copies did "Viva Elvis" sell again anyway, 43 ? the ones you bought, right ? LOL
Agree with this - Ferrante's track record is horrible [the 'Promised land' album remix cd is an exception - note: G.M in his review at the time [ETMAHM mag] failed to even recognize it had been remixed !]. I do agree however with the poster, that remixing properly and sympathetically from the original multi-track tapes would produce stunning and IMPROVED AUDIO results. When we are likely to see this happen is another matter altogether .midnightx wrote:I agree in part. Vic's mastering is well done and the performances sound great, so a remix isn't a necessity. That being said, I would love to hear what Vic could do with a remix.vivaelvis_72 wrote:Sorry, but remastering that album/show won't do it any wonders.

The 1998 Ferrante remix of Aloha is horrid. One of Ferrante's worst efforts. It is dull, lifeless, and muddy. He really couldn't have done much worse. Again, if you think about how stellar Vic's mixing has been with the 1969/1970 multi-track live tapes, just imagine what he could do with Aloha. As with MSG, Vic's current mastering is the final word for now.vivaelvis_72 wrote:...a la the Aloha From Hawaii remix in 1998 which is far superior to the quadradisc mix from 1973.
