Now maybe all the *Dave never had a #1 album with VH* idiots will shut up (although 1984 was a technicality). Yes, I know this is ONLY a Best Of, but there's NO way this album debuts a #1 without 2 NEW *Dave* tunes (and a little controversy). This is just my opinion, but I used to own a music store, and I have a good feel for how these things go. Also, IMO, who cares!

Cool!! >MULLY I went to get mine last night and Best Buy was COMPLETELY sold out of them, which really surprised me. Obviously it's doing very very well. IMHO the two Dave songs are the reason. I know I wouldn't have bought it without those. I would be FAR more interested in the remastered complete albums. I think these will show up. I think it is unlikely that they would go to the trouble of engaging the services and time of a remastering engineer for a set of single tracks pulled from the 2 track reels of each album (or 1630 digi tapes etc). IE when you go in to remaster stuff and take the time to set everything up for each song, I would think you'd do a pass on the complete tape (from each album). It depends on how crazy they want to go. These days everything is automated and it is possible to have very different, intricate 'settings' setup for each song of an album in the mastering process. The 'settings' could be different eq/compression etc for each song. For this kind of detail, it would be alot more work to do each record rather than just do one song pulled from the album. I would think it's more likely that once a general setting was found for a series of tracks from one period (ie an album), it would make sense to apply it to the whole record as the tracks would have likely been recorded at one studio by the same engineer/producer etc. At the very least the 'settings' for each song would be stored in machine readable format so when/if the complete album would be re-done those settings could be recalled as a starting point. I'm not a mastering engineer, but I am a recording engineer with some experience. These are just informed guesses. I've been to Sterling Sound in NY and have spoken with a couple of engineers there, but not in quite awhile. I think the old albums have in fact been remastered in one of the scenarios above and are sitting on a shelf waiting to be released in the near future. This is exactly what happened when the Led Zep box came out. They claimed that 'there were no plans' to re-release the individual albums from which the remastered tracks were culled, but what happened six months later? I've noticed the the prices for the old albums are fairly low ($10.99) in my area. Can you say, 'clearance sale'? - --Don DABL dabl2@nlm.nih.gov ------------------------------ From: sr5150 Date: Wed, 30 Oct 1996 08:37:23 +0000 Subject: Re: BOV1 #1 A beating from who??? CYA, S.R.

Regarding price, that is not so meaningful. I usually buy from Ken Crane's in California who always has the lowest price anywhere, period. In general, Japanese imports are right around $50, discounted. I agree it's painful, and also about the content of the item in question. If it's Balance stuff, who cares. Below is some good news, if true. Just forwarding this email without permission, know nothing else at this time blah blah blah. I'm just now remembering that the Greatest Hits laserdisc was rumored to be coming out in Japan awhile back. Bet we'll see it soon. Again, it really pisses me off that whoever markets VH stuff can't clue in to the market here for such items and that we are forced to pay inflated prices for the Japanese import(s). Not a good way to treat fans. - --Don dabl2@nlm.nih.gov ====== Date: Wed, 30 Oct 1996 01:19:50 -0800 To: dabl2@nlm.nih.gov (Don Lindbergh) From: "Ro-Disc (Robert Verhoef)" Subject: Re: Looking for import laserdisc This one will be re-released in Japan in december, best regards, Robert Verhoef (Ro-Disc) E-Mail : rodisc@wirehub.nl Releaseinfo : Home Page : http://www.wirehub.nl/~rodisc ------------------------------ End of Van Halen Digest V1 #872
