Thanks Marky, it sounds great. I'm trying to think of a description - 3D maybe?

Are you watching a dvd or bluray? The tracks were split into guitar/bass/drums/vocals/others.

Then put back together removing most of the synth sounds of horns etc. The bass panned greater to the left channel the guitar greater to the right. The drums and vocal in the centre of the mix but pushed slightly louder. It's not a surround sound. But has way better stereo separation. Anyway glad you are enjoying mate.πŸ‘

It's taken 35 years, but between you and Gerald the crap is finally being cut! Merci bien, mon ami!

edit: Listening to "Dictator" reminds of watching early MASH episodes on dvd, where the laugh track is taken off. The show did not need a laugh track, but losing it after years of hearing it is jarring.

Thank you Marky, I'm going to give this a listen with an open mind and ears! Can't wait to hear what it should have sounded like.

This is a really good listen, cheers Marky.

You've got a very clean extraction of Joe's vocals, feels super weird hearing them so clear.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I am very much enjoying this in as much as it is possible given the quality of the material, lol. It is very interesting to hear the differences, almost like hearing the demos and how the final product was nowhere near as good lol. Thank you for the work on this, sir, wonderful job! Cheers!

Cheers mate. I think there are 6 tracks that work for me. That I actually like and can hear what a better production could of achieved. Of course the drums would be gone and the guitar sound is fucking crap in my opinion. But there are some songs of worth even if some of the lyrics are in need of a better Joe standard.
