Little Feat box set "Rad Gumbo"

[felser]

I own a few boxes from this series and several of the OAS sets, and the sound quality difference is night and day. OAS is clearly just whatever was already laying around, and this series has wonderful remastering, at least on the boxes I have (Joni Mitchell and early Neil Young).

Is this the Joni Mitchel boxset that you say has been remastered, felser?

I have a copy of this set - produced by Rhino & 2012 release (10 discs) the discs come in mini LP sleeves & gatefold where the original LPs had this -> better quality than the OAS series sleeves though the print is still minuscule

Didn't come with a booklet & no details re remastering but it's not part of the OAS series

Don't have earlier JM CDs (only vinyl) so can't make a comparison but generally I'm very happy with the SQ

Thanks, Romualdo, it's just that I have all the albums in the set already, bought when they were first re-issued on CD many years ago and wondered whether the copies in this boxset would sound any better. I get the impression from the little I've managed to find elsewhere that they probably don't.

The Mitchell CD's were remastered at some point following their initial CD releases, there was a second round of CD releases that had the HD remasters. I suspect that the box may be that second round of remasters, but they sound great to me, better than the original CD's. The Neil Young CD's were not doubt the remasters from that massive CD/DVD/Blue-ray project he did, and also sound great. The mastering on this series of boxes is head and shoulders over the OAS series, jumps out at you night and day.

Ah, so they might sound better then. Thanks for that, felser.

The boxset is going pretty cheaply at Amazon so I might just buy it.
