I came upon this very interesting quote from an interview with the recording engineer (and subject of much SHite-criticism) Jon Astley: Could this possibly be why the Who’s CD catalog has become such an abject dumpster fire of inferior sources and incorrect mixes?
I wonder how Lukpac would feel about this…

Why do you think Hoffman got fired from MCA? Lukpac has always known about this, at least he has since the Snakepit days. However, he is firmly in the cult. Facts have never dissuaded him from his blind adoration of Our Host. Really? I had no idea. But gathering from his flatline, dull personality online I am not surprised.

Why do you think Hoffman got fired from MCA and has been persona non grata in the music industry ever since? Go on. Have a guess. Lukpac has always known about this, at least he has since the Snakepit days. However, he is firmly in the cult. Facts have never dissuaded him from his blind adoration of Our Host. To be fair, I was aware of our host's indiscretions with the Buddy Holly tapes, I suppose I just didn't realize how deep this rabbit-hole goes... At least we got extensive treatises regarding "See My Way" in true stereo out of the whole thing.

It's not the only reason, but a contributing factor. The scorecard imho;
Meaty Beaty - dumpster fire Who's Next - the original MCA mastering with perhaps an EQ move or two Who's Missing- mostly unfutzed with, but dull as dishwater

I made transfers of all the early UK Who 45s and uploaded them to YouTube a while back. Nothing comes close to the sound of them.
