what a load of bullshit ! *grim*
FACT is that we are discussing it now , but FACT is also that nobody has ANY right to LIE through his teeth like this person did with all his claims , "explanations" & wanna-be "proofs" ! :-/
i've already answered him over in the other forum & for me he's jus' one of those wiseacres , who pester other people with their overzealous & utterly ridiculous nonsense , which i highly dislike ! :-/
read my reply to him & his "proofs" here @

many companies will simply "remaster" from previously released CD's.
well ... that may be true in other cases but DEFINITELY NOT in the case of the new "metamatic" remaster !
fyi : if the new "metamatic" version would have indeed been made of the same previously released cd by edsel ( which this person seems to believe ) then it would also sound like it , which is CLEARLY NOT the case , as dave r.'s reply here already proves WITHOUT A DOUBT !

I would have started with the old Virgin CD because it is [ ... ] a flat transfer of the masters with no processing added.
that's actually the ONLY thing i agree on !
anyway ... for me it's jus' A FACT that both edsel re-releases are made from the same source material - i. e. the ( original or @ least still available ) master tapes - plain & simple as that !

"nothing more" , eh ? :-o
jus' read what the same person wrote over in the other forum before he paddled back here like a spineless sissy ! *grumble*

"I just got the Metamatic 2CD set, and I can tell you it has NOT been remastered, as previously claimed. It is just a transfer of the previous CD reissue with a few unreleased tracks added."how does that sound to u then !?
however ... there are only two options & absoluetly NO space for other "interpretations" now : either this scott person is right & it's indeed NOT a remaster , which i highly doubt for reasons that i've already explained over in the other forum ... or rob harris & all the people involved in the production of the new version of "metamatic" aren't telling us the truth & want to make us fans believe that it's a remaster , while it's not , which i actually don't even dare to think for real , as this would make me furious as hell , if it should be true then ! >:-O
therefore i must demand a clear word from rob harris in this case here as soon as possible to clarifiy things ONCE & FOR ALL now !
'nuff said indeed for me !
