I wonder if the Tony Visconti mixes from that box set are available on Apple Music?

@Chancerubbage huh, I dunno. I guess they might be. I don’t have a subscription. I actually still use iTunes to play mostly Bandcamp downloads. 😊

@Chancerubbage their iTunes Store has all of those box sets, so I think there’s a good chance. 👍

@stevenray they are there- didn’t show up immediately. Now I need to find Visconti’s notes on what he decided to remix and why (remasters and remixes are both there -I could A/B them.)

Here is a link reviewing the remix vs remaster of Lodger. I nearly bought the box in 2017 just for the remix.

@Chancerubbage thanks for this!

@Chancerubbage after reading the review, I really wanna do my own side by side comparison.

From the pic at the top of the article, he seems to have been listening to the cd’s. From my perspective I can’t understand why.

I also wondered throughout what speakers he was using, as they’d obviously effect the outcome.

@stevenray he is mostly discussing mix decisions/differences you would hear via any listening set up.

@Chancerubbage yes I suppose so, though some setups might make the more bass heavy sections of the remaster sound less murky/boomy. Just a matter of curiosity on my part.
