Re: Sandinista! Deluxe box set.
There are so many subtle differences. Some songs just sound a little more 'normal' I guess, but the change to the (backing) vocals of the Sound of Sinners is just insane. Just completely changes the song IMO. What a fascinating thing you've done here Marky.

Re: Sandinista! Deluxe box set.
Cheers Mark. When I remix stuff I just try to enhance stuff that I feel is too low in the original mix. Often I will mix a track several times before deciding what sounds best. I end up scrapping loads of mixes until I hit on the one.Mark^Bastard wrote: ↑14 Sep 2022, 12:56amThere are so many subtle differences.

It's great hearing the bass on Ivan.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

And what a tasty guitar on CDS. Previously nearly inaudible.

Cheers John glad you are enjoying it. I'm working on a London Calling imaginary box set. Will be weeks away yet but it's sounding great so far.

First chance I've had to properly sit down and listen mate. Thoroughly enjoying it. Something About England has a new clarity with less reverb and Joe's vocal louder in the mix.Marky Dread wrote: ↑14 Sep 2022, 1:13pmCheers John glad you are enjoying it.

Re: Sandinista! Deluxe box set.
Marvelous news! While your Clash work and generosity has been jaw-dropping overall, I really do think the S! stuff—in quality and scope—is the best thing you've done. Do you get a sense that your skills have improved, both in using the software and training your ear?Marky Dread wrote: ↑14 Sep 2022, 1:13pmCheers John glad you are enjoying it.

It's all Heath Robinson mate. Tied together with bits of string and tape. When it holds together it's great. I've always had a good ear. The software I use is coming into it's tenth year but yeah I can manipulate it better now.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑14 Sep 2022, 2:21pmMarvelous news!

Re: Sandinista! Deluxe box set.
Marky, Thank you for all your hard work and generosity in revitalising the Sandinista material. Could anyone have predicted in 1980, that The Clash could have taken so many sounds and influences to create a bold, if slightly bonkers LP.
Your sequencing of the tracks work really well and my favourite songs from the album, sound fresh and exciting again.
I hope you've had some feedback from the band and that the care and attention to the artwork alone, has been noted. One day you will be officially appointed Clash Curator in Chief.

Re: Sandinista! Deluxe box set.
I love it when people hear new things in songs they love. I still marvel at the amount of styles and the volume of work contained in Sandinista!.Heston wrote: ↑14 Sep 2022, 1:27pmFirst chance I've had to properly sit down and listen mate.
