Wie ich Dich gerade eben noch am Telefon fragen wollte, bevor Du auflegtest: Gibt's da nix im FECC Forum? Da steht doch so etwas zuerst.

leider nicht...

aus dem FECC, Frage an Ernst

"2. Was the Complete Masters really a Vic Anesini project? Is this just a rehash of old work done by other people?

This question was answered from several different angles, and I even asked again before the group, "Just to reiterate, ...." There is no doubt, then, about Ernst's response: The mandate of this project was to go back to the start and rework everything.

I know that there is one reliable source who says and believes otherwise, but Ernst was very clear on this point: This is new work by Anesini and Jeannson. They went back to the album masters wherever possible and practical and ran those tapes fresh again, in high resolution to provide the headroom to do the editing and refining they needed to do.

There are a handful of exceptions; a few tracks did need to be rebuilt from scratch. One example: the stereo master of "For the Millionth and the Last Time" had to be rebuilt, which Ernst pointed out is delicate work.

I believe we'll find quirks along the way they may have overlooked, but for the most part choices that had to be made were made deliberately. These involve questions of mix, especially, including choices of mono or stereo.

One decision I had wondered about from the Franklin Mint set was the choice of a dry vocal mix of "I Slipped, I Stumbled, I Fell." This was a conscious choice on their part for reasons of continuity, Ernst said. I would have made a different choice, but I respect that they had many such decisions to make. I won't go into many more specifics, but you get the general idea. I will confess that though I did ask specifically about the missing splice on the single master of "I'm Yours," I really did not understand his answer -- or rather, I understood the answer, but I didn't get the point. However, I didn't have a chance to ask a follow-up then and I didn't circle back around on it later. Jeannson's involvement, by the way, seems to have been providing considerable technical ("mathematical," as Ernst put it) expertise, drawing on his knowledge as an engineer (not as an audio engineer, but as an actual engineer).

In March of 2007 SONY decided to go through all of Elvis' masters and they retransferred everything, remastered all tracks including repairing as many clicks, pops, bad edits and dropouts as they could. They have used these newly mastered recordings on their new releases including budget soundtracks, 'Legacy' releases and the Franklin Mint package.

Dann waere ja geklaert, ob man fuer jede "neue" VOE jedes mal neu remastert, oder eben nicht.
