Does not get much worse than this. Not only did they remix the albums, they torched the dynamics & applied excessive EQ. This is how you destroy works of art.

| You are asking the right questions. The quality of reissues on HDtracks is all over the place (Acoustic Sounds looks similar).
The Bill Evans - Waltz for Debby is a great example of how reissues should be listed.
