In this case the fucker right. How can the copy tape from 1972 will sound better than original 66 mono? He could stick his headphones right into his ass. Not to mention that 1972 tape have early fades on all songs and first song sounds like mud.

1- I'm not implying it, it is a fact. The DCC version is not a flat xfr and if it were there wouldn't be any "Hoffman" tape to use (why use a "flat" copy from DCC when we already have lots of flat copies made in 1966). The flat master does not sound like the DCC release, which is fine. If you like the DCC CD then it may be a great mastering job, but it most certainly is not a flat xfr.
2- Hoffman's tape would be a heavily eqd copy and while some listeners prefer the sound of it, Brian does not. Mark Linett wrote: I don't believe Hoffman had the original master in 93 for the DCC release. My recollection is he had to use the NY copy and since we had already discovered the master had dissapeared from Capitol, I would likely recall (as would EMI) if he was the last one to use the original master. In addition I believe we did the GV box before the DCC of PS and I know the analog master had gone missing by then.
I do wish this could be posted on his forum.

Mark Linett is making some big assumptions there to be honest. The fact that the original copy went missing and yet someone called Steve Hoffman claims to have used it, he takes that to mean it must have been a copy. As opposed to a much earlier theft back in Steve’s vault robbing days. Oh the naivete.

Am I the only who thinks Mark is jealous of Brian’s breakfasts with STeVe?

I've never seen Mark in a Member's Only jacket, so I've never been able to take him seriously.

How about STEVE HOFFMAN or Bernie Grundman? Or STEVE HOFFMAN vs Vic Anesini? Surely STEVE HOFFMAN vs MoFi would be okay. What about that, STEVE fucking HOFFMAN, you fucking cunt.

butch said: ↑ Ditto,the Liner Notes to the Remasters are witty and brilliant no doubt.The Box Set sounds warmer BUT in a bad compressed and muddy way.The Nichols Discs are very revealing and in some ways they are too revealing but they sound clear open and accurate but there is no tubey magic or air or analogness on these discs but they are very clean and present the music in a very forward light.Let the Buyer Beware...but enjoy the liner notes.....especially the whole bit about ABC Records on the Aja disc....priceless storytelling from the strangeness rock/jazz duo of all time.Becker could have been a satirist...........

Nice to see STeVE take a break from petty dickery and shameless pandering to set the record straight about...well, a record.
I love that how of all the people in all the threads, this is the one he tells to stop spreading misinformation.
Hey HoofY, ever hear of a dude name GiantLeech? Or is he too big a contributor?
