Disc 2 is the "gem" for this release...
22 July 2011
Format:Audio CD
LOVED this album for 30 years now, and the remastering is done as well as any that I have heard. The reason to buy this set (assuming that you already have a copy of Hi Infidelity) is for the second disc. It's not often that you get to hear how an album gets it start. The Crystal demos show it all off. While the sound level doesn't seem to be as high as the regular album, it is really cool to hear the songs as they were being worked out by the band. To all you budding lead guitarists, put the instrumental version of "Shakin' it Loose" on, grab your Les Paul and play your own licks along with the boys!
There are some new comments about the album by Kevin Cronin and Gary Richrath - I wish Gary could have or would have written more, but it is nice to see that he was invited to have a little input on this product!

Review of Disc 1: Main Album Remaster
24 July 2011
Format:Audio CD
As the title says, I haven't listened to Disc 2 yet. First, I don't have $5000 equipment, so audiophiles with that budget, cut me some slack. I did an A/B with Disc 1 in the car changer and was VERY surprised. And the comparison was with the Gold Sony CD version from the mid 90s (which I did prefer to the 2000 remaster, and that one also sounds good, don't get me wrong). I also then compared these same two versions at home through Sony MDR-7506 headphones.
I know about the "Loudness Wars". I expect this when I buy any remaster now. This disc sounds crisp and detailed. If you're skeptical about the sound of this, go ahead and buy it, especially since it's pretty much budget priced (although both discs add up to about 69 minutes, so yeah, it all could fit onto one CD).
This is not an "In Your Face" loud CD that would just sound like prior versions at equal volume. You'll notice it with the drums immediately on "Don't Let Him Go". You'll notice it immediately with the piano intro to "Keep On Loving You" (and whatever that "ding" thing is. It's some percussion instrument, I don't know, a chime?). You get the idea. I could go on with the other eight tracks. I'll just leave it to you to hear the clarity on the other two hits--we all know "Take It on the Run", but let's not forget "In Your Letter"--as well as the rest of the album. I think they did a great job on this remaster and I'm confident that if you're a fan of this album, it will make you smile as though you're hearing it again for the first time. And this doesn't even take into account that second disc! Enjoy!

THE REAL REO
20 July 2011
Format:Audio CD
Even though this has been re-mastered and re-mastered again, I never tire of this album. not a bad song on the disc. Too bad that the "HI-Infidelity Line-up" couldn't do a reunion tour! Kevin, Bruce, Alan, Gary and Neal... I seen them several times from Tuna-to Greatest Hits tour. The magic is shown in the demos.
