“something happened, everything got sonically compromised in some way during manufacturing and that was it.”
That’s his excuse? One of (supposedly) his favourite albums and he didn’t notice he made it sound like shit?
“I love this 1970 Dodge Challenger, one of my favourite cars, thanks for bringing it to Steve’s Auto Fidelity. I once had lunch with Majel Barrett and Lorne Greene in one. Yikes!
I, as an experienced mechanic (and definitely not someone with a trust fund whose father bought his way into the business), replaced the engine for that of a Ford Fiesta. Trust me, you won’t notice. I didn’t.
Oh no. Something went wrong between my work and the time you put your keys in the ignition? Must’ve happened during manufacture. What do you mean that makes no sense? Sorry, no refunds. Heh.”
Fuck that guy.

Of course, many SHites assumed that it was still a new transfer from the "original master tapes" that precisely played at the very exact speed as in the eighties, and Tate was forced to retract his claim, as Marsha threatened him with legal action. It was probably an empty threat, as AF was, even at this point, a much smaller operation than people assumed and their "lawyers" would have been reachable as the same PO Box as everybody else, but it was still a risk.
No, they actually filed suit. I have a copy of the complaint somewhere around here.
It's a shame it got settled fairly early on - I would have paid a whole bunch of cash money toward the costs of holding a deposition for Steve.

This is priceless and highly entertaining information. I don’t give a shit about The Pretenders, but would love to hear the hoops that Der Tonmeister tried to jump through to explain why he fucked up so badly? Is there a thread like the one where Jamie Tate exposes his Doors bullshittery? I'd love to read the Tate expose of the "Doors bullshittery"...

I might be confusing it with the Bookends incident- so many amateurish errors to choose from, but I’ll have a look.

For a man who loves to quote himself and “pardon me but let me share this story again” he sure can’t be bothered to answer.
