How right you were, Breydon Music. It’s not a minor difference. Everything is now (in the Tower remaster) so much more open, transparent, delicate, and defined, and the ...
I have just checked Symphony no.8 in my set - which I had not played yet - by comparing it to the Spotify version of the original individual release. Thankfully they are both ...
The first edition of Karajan definitely has its historical value, maybe not all of them. Even the single track of Ligeti-Atmosphere could prove it without doubt. This time, ...
No, it's stereo only, as you would expect from the date. A lovely transfer though and a clear step up from previous digital incarnations. Do a saved search on e-Bay and with a ...
Is this really multichannel? Can anyone confirm? There are two separate Blu-ray releases for this, and according to above, this one is multichannel. But it seems off and I ...
This release was foreshadowed for quite a while before finally hitting the racks last month. That the Copyright/phonographic copyright year is '2003' suggests it was in the ...
The Haydn would be great, re-done, but meanwhile I'm also still (for many years already!) awaiting for his Fidelio as well as his Tchaikovsky last three, which to my knowledge ...
This is the third set of this kind from the Berliner. There is a Furtwängler and Karajan (1953 - 1969) set. I think they would not publish a set if the other two wouldn’t ...

This one, a limited edition of 3,000 and mastered by Shawn R. Britton.
Previously released as a multi-channel SACD way back in 1999 Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison and there seems to have been varied opinions as to the sonic merits of this version. It also had bonus tracks added and is uncensored.
We now have the album as originally released - No bonus tracks and the sweary bit bleeped. I'm very happy that they have stayed true to the original release here.
The mastering sounds very good, especially considering the recording equipment they had and the difficult environment. It is very alive and immediate with the performance/recording warts adding to the energy and realness of it all.
And of course, the defining humanity of the album shines through better than ever.
It is unlikely that there will be a better version so get it while you can.
