Re: [Zappa-List] old Mothers albums mixes
Just to chime in here, I prefer the otriginal mix of Cruisin over the CD version but I listen to the CD version many times more. Also, take Hot Rats for example. I listen to the CD so many more times but whenever I get to hear the LP version it is almost like I'm discovering a new version never heard before. I don't dislike the Chad Wackerman drumming but I like the older/original better. If I could choose, I'd rather the ZFT spend more time releasing unheard of stuff, like the Carnegie LP instead of remixing LPs I already have. Having typed that I'll sign off wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy Zappadan. Marc Quoting JACK OONK jco...@ameritech.net: This List isn't dead, it just smells funny... Your question as it wasn't, kinda puts you in a category. There seem to be 2 different campswith regard to the early recordings and their subsequent remixes (and both can be quite rabid): those who prefer the former, and those who prefer the latter. I actually like (and own) both, and cannot say that I prefer one over the other. I know, a chumps way out, but it's true.
