The release notes really provide all the technical information. Is this title needed, no more so than the original His Master's Choice release. Completest will want it, but I doubt anyone will regularly pull this out to listen. |
First of all please note, this is not the actual LP, but the LP re-built
in digital format from the bonus CD content and original tracks.
Info On This Disc I have spent most of last night and today re-building the 'Unforgettable' LP - let's face it, if HMC were not willing to do it, someone had to! This is simply Side 1 of the LP - The McCartney Christmas Album. This is the album that HMC should have issued as part of a 2CD set (in my mind anyway), but instead issued on vinyl in dreadful quality. So here is the vinyl album presented in digital quality, all intros taken from the bonus CD, and each song from the original album 'Unforgettable' is also presented in much better quality than the LP. During the making of this 'remaster' (it is technically a re-build) I also noticed that HMC had taken a few liberties with the material, splitting one of Paul's intros in two to place between two songs - the dialogue intros Martha and the Vandellas, but was split to also intro the Beach Boys song... This has been restored to it's original form as it is clearly one piece of dialogue, and the song order has been corrected in accordance with this liberty taking (see explanation below in track list.) If this is wrong, someone please correct me, but in the unedited CD material, Paul in one section of dialogue intro Heatwave, and then after two tracks back refs The Beach Boys. So the order of the tracks must have been tinkered with. I believe that a remaster may also be on the cards for the more important
CD content. Keep your eyes on the prize people. ;) |
