Welch and Before Era Re-masters
Anyone know what the chances of these really getting remastered? Anyone have inside info. These are my fav albums Bare Trees/FGames, Mystery/Heroes/Penguin/Kiln/Then etc.
Thanks, |

Well, David McLees at Rhino, who's in charge of these remasters has promised that the entire Warners/Reprise catalogue will be remastered. I assume that would mean from Then Play On up to maybe Behind The Mask. I HOPE this happens, but I'll believe it when I have them in my hands. I, too am really looking forward to the Bob Welch era albums, even more so than the Rumours line-up albums. When Bob Welch did his Q & A here, he didn't sound very confident that it would happen though.
I'd also love to see something similar to the Madison Blues box set, maybe a mix of studio outtakes & live tracks all from the Bob Welch years(1971-1974). |

Yeah, macfan is right, David McLees told me when I spoke to him that they do intend to do all of the WB/Reprise FM titles. He said they'd "start w/the BN era ones" so I guess from that we can assume "Mirage", TITN etc. will be next. I too, will "believe it when I see it", but I'm hopeful due to Rhino having remastered back catalog by bands/artists that had their ups and downs, commerically and otherwise, yet they still remastered ALL of them, yes, even the least popular ones, so here's hoping it won't be too long.

Unfortunately Mr. Money always is the main factor for decisions. And considering the average low sales that those old albums had, I'm not sure if the record company would be interested. But I'd love to listen a remastered Bare Trees anyway.
And I agree that Mirage and TITN could come first. I'd love to have a TITN with unissued songs and the You&I part.1 |

I would MUCH rathe rhave Future Games, Bare Trees, Then Play On and Mystery to ME remastered then Mirage and Tango in the Night. But you're all probably righ that those 2 would most likely be next.
I really hate it when people on the board post "are they going to re releaes Mirage and TITN" like they're the only 2 other albums out there Fleetwood Mac did. I believe they made the right choice in doing "THE BIG 3" first since they really are the best albums, but now instead of going forward they should go backwards to the other best albums.

Reviving this old thread. Anyone hear any news about when or if remastered CDs of the pre-'75 albums will appear? The sound quality on some of the original CD releases is so poor.

I sure hope the older material gets remastered, in my lifetime.

I only had "Bare Trees" as mp3s,
so I bought the German edition on cd, which is the only edition, I guess. I really love that album, but the sound is not too good. This needs a remaster - it sounds like they used 4th generation tapes. The bass sounds lika a slack rubberband... I read here somewhere that the original mix was destroyed at an airport, can anyone fill me in? |

I barely remember posting this...
And still we have no re masters... I'd take the whole catalogue remastered over Sheryl Crow any day of the week... I mean if they can remaster Perfect's stuff why not the band's greatest period of 1969-1974... Imagine hearing The City in pristine condition.... hmm hmm hmm...
