The main impetus for this was to try and fix the dreadful sound of the
1st Concerto, which was recorded the day before the equally appallingly
recorded Emperor Concerto. Despite acres of swish to deal with, I think
it came out rather well in the end...

Ho hum? What a hypocrit:-)!

Your "career" at Philips was predicated on dredging up old material,
of course.

The pot calling the kettle black I would say.

At least Deacon just used shitty old remasterings with noise
reduction. He didn't manipulate them like Rose does.
