Xmas Comes Early For JD Fans
Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2012 8:01 amDrew Crumbaugh, the mastering engineer previously known only as Analog Loyalist who has lovingly restored the Smiths' Rough Trade singles and Joy Division/New Order's Factory Records releases, has taken a second crack at remastering a Joy Division concert from 1980 and made it available for fans to download.
On his blog, Crumbaugh says:
[i][b]"I went back to the original raw transfers from Duncan Haysom's 1980 master cassette tapes, the very tapes on which he recorded the Joy Division gigs that we released. I started from scratch - essentially, if Warners came knocking today and asked me to master these gigs, I did what I'd do for them with the skills, techniques, secret sauces and magic I've either advanced or flat-out learned anew since 2006...
They are spectacular. Not to toot my own horn, but these now simply crush what was used on the 2007 releases....
If there were any justice in this world, Rhino would pull the 2007 sets off the market and reissue with these masterings. One can dream..."[/i][/b]
