I still think that, despite the very nice first two CD's, this set is way too unbalanced for a mainstream release. 3 CD's full of rehearsels, varying in quality, is too much. Even if the soundquality of these rehearsels was top notch... the nature of the recordings is collector's material. So for mainstream, one CD with the highlights of the rehearsels would have been fine imo. Having said that... As I said earlier, I do enjoy the Spang remixes very much.

IMO they could have treated this set like they did the Elvis At Stax release... but remixed the finished masters and included alternate takes from both sessions on only 2CD's... would have made more sense to me.

But that would not have met the remit of putting out another and final release in the series of ‘undubbed" masters.

Disc 3 only for the time being [same configuration/track markers but not a 1:1 copy of the Sunset Boulevard/Anesini edit].

The remaining discs will follow eventually but unlikely to be in the immediate future.

The '74 tape in particular requires a substantial amount of restoration work to make it even half presentable.

Link lasts for one week only.

Thank you very much! Can't wait to listen to this. I'm always very impressed with your work!

Certainly, even with the most advanced software and restroration skills, there will always be limitations when working with a substandard source.
Hopefully, you will hear a modicum of improvement on the before [raw] and after [restored] draft mix sample of "Down in the Alley" below.

That is a definite improvement, but the backing voices seem too low.
