Yes, staying on topic is a virtue, but it’s kind of hard to do when people put your [screen]name in their post with the intent of putting you in a bad light.

Also, the content of that long post is nothing new at all. When I post something I think has significance, I save it on my hard disk. That post is just a not-so-neatly compilation of my “MCA rants”, if for no reason other to show many BNers that those posts were full of facts and not just wishful thinking on my part.

I blame AADD for my lack of virtue....

Not that I'm not feeling anyone's pain, BUT:
That's enough. If you don't like what someone has said, or don't agree w/ it, you don't HAVE to reply. If you would not want it said to you in the tone that it is said, DON'T SAY IT.

I know I can be repetitive so that I can renew my cause with new research and to help reach the newbies, and by that I can annoy people who look at it from the wrong angle. However, I am not the one who brought up the issue in this particular thread. They asked for it, I complied. Sorry it turned out this way.

WOW! I haven't read that bit in quite a while. I agree for, ah, well, I don't buy the 'won't fit' bit about the liner notes, pictures and whatever else - since the lyric edition of Floridays until FSOTW there have been liner notes, lyrics and some pictures etc...even extra s*** on the actual record (video)!

So those things will fit. Hell, Virgin had NO TROUBLE reissuing The Rolling Stones albums with pictures and notes (no lyrics in a Stones album until, let's see, I think it was 1986's Dirty Work and every one since although they skimped on Steel Wheels a little. The last record to include lyrics with it before Dirty Work, I think, was ABKCO's first edition of Let It Bleed).

I still think it boils down to one thing - MCA just doesn't care. Nobody at MCA cares or cares enough about Jimmy Buffett - they never truly did and they never will except when it comes to Jimmy wanting to record new versions of some old tunes and HEY! LET'S RELEASE ANOTHER GREATEST HITS ALBUM TOGETHER!!!! (MMIM). They just want the money of letting the rotten original, ha ha, CD issues sitting around because for one they are already done, whatever that can mean, and they know if they do repackage everything, actually properly remaster everything, each record will only sell a minimum of probably 100,000 copies over a period of 5-10 years.

Which didn't seem to deter Virgin with the Stones back catalog.

Doesn't it make anyone wonder that if Jimmy could...mute the original vocal track on Volcano and add a new vocal that that would mean he had access to the...master tape?

MCA has those. Right? So how did that happen? Hmmmmmm

Yeah, the master tapes are alive and well, they were professionally handeled obviously just like any other artists recordings (with AT LEAST a decent budget), so it's not a matter on if it's possible or not; we can be 99.9% confident that the tapes are accessable and in just fine condition to be able to remaster, which was done with all the previously released material on Meet Me in Margaritaville, and I believe the same holds true on the previous two compilations, Boats, Beaches, Bars and Ballads, and Songs You Know By Heart before it... Also, keep in mind Varsee Records, when they got a hold of the Barnaby recordings, remastered AND remixed all the tracks for the Down to Earth and High Cumberland Jubillee CD reissues in 1998...

So are all the recordings we want reissued from 1973 up to the mid eightees in fine condition to be the sources for remasters for all 13 or so albums? Of course! Instead, we just get compilations to tease us, with the occasional wacky "experiement" like the one that's this threads topic/namesake.

What I don't understand is why Volcano was "corrected" and brought "up to date" without re-recording from scratch, and Fruitcakes was placed on the same compilation in it's original album version without overdubbing the "We're seven years from the millinium..." lyric...?

JustDucky · Post by **JustDucky** » November 14, 2006 8:36 pm

No. Albums are not ever "remixed".

The Barnaby albums were not remixed by Varese - they were REMASTERED.

Big difference.

There are different mixes of some songs on Before The Beach - and since I haven't listened to Before The Salt in EONS I don't know if they are those particular mixes or different mixes.

But from what I can tell, some songs on the Varese albums are different mixes than those on BTB.

But the Varese albums sound better than the BTB comp.
