STeVE can sniff Lookingbill's butthole. Given his lack of sanitary habits, I'm sure you can smell it from across a room.

"Crumbling PCM 1630 master tapes?" What the fuck is he talking about? PCM 1630s are by design copies. Generally used to preserve and distribute analog sources. So. Anyone remember for how much some dipshit essentially bought a CD-R sourced from a digital dub of who knows which analog tape?

I know Their Host has a dubious relationship with legality, but wouldn't Apple be livid, in their usually litigious way, about this particular antic?

Nothing even makes sense in that story. How come that DCC would gain access to the original master tapes to the album before they even signed some contract with EMI? Was it a case where you could borrow the tapes at the Abbey Road warehouse provided you gave a blowjob to the security guard?

Was it a case where you could borrow the tapes at the Abbey Road warehouse provided you gave a blowjob to the security guard? It's all bullshit. STeVE probably didn't use the masters for the released DCC McCartney disks. The 2014 reissue of Wings At The Speed Of Sound (or was it Venus and Mars?) includes pics of the mastertapes with logs of when they were pulled. The dates correspond to the other CD reissues, but no date for STeVE and DCC. The Gorts had to work overtime to keep that thread sanitized.

Assuming EMI involvement, he'd have worked from a clone of the digital master rather than a fresh dub from the heavily-guarded tapes.
Assuming no source material from EMI UK, he used either an off-the-shelf CD, or a digital dub of whatever generation tape Capitol held.

Remember one fact: record companies do not sanction the issue of master material until after the paperwork is in place.
Sometimes well after.

Even in 2001, the post should have raised a huge red flag and made people understand STeVE was selling snake's oil. I could understand that some titles in a series of reissues may have been canceled for some reason after the tapes were located (it happened with MoFi and their Sinatra titles, as they apparently found the mono tapes for "Come Fly with Me" that Universal later used for their own reissue), but it made no sense for a record company to grant access to the master tapes to one cult album for a one-off before the ink was dry and everything had been triple checked, including NDAs. It also shows that Hoffman had no status in the music industry then. Nobody was concerned that he was "offering" CD-Rs of an alleged unreleased remaster. He never got any cease and desist.

Bingo. Apple/EMI wouldn't know Hooofprick from a garden gnome. Abbey Road is populated with industry professionals. Trumped up little EQ twiddlers carry zero weight.

George Harrison - All Things Must Pass - Unreleased DCC.
This was found on a (really) dark corner of the internet. The most famous of George Harrison albums 'All Things Must Pass', supposedly remastered by Steve Hoffman and for a short while sold via his website.
Although this maybe a bit obsolete after the very good 24-bit remaster of last year, this is also a piece of music history that needs to be liberated. That's also the reason why I upped it here, so you can listen to it and decide for yourself. Sadly the 'Apple Jam' portion is not included.
I have also been told that this remaster stays in sync with the old CD from 1987, suggesting that it may be derived from that CD, or from a digital production tape.

I'm starting to think that Macca didn't really come over! Would honest STeVE make up a story like that?

He needs to go into a little detail about exactly why Iron Mountain would send him 50 reels of fucking tape!
If any of you have ever dealt with Iron Mountain, you'll know what I mean.
