Wasn't the Hyde Park concert recently available for sale in mp3 format? And now they're releasing it again but as a proper cd? Why?

There is bound to be a DVD of Hyde Park sooner or later - probably with the 1969 show as a bonus disc.

I just tried to listen to Hyde Park again.. the sound mix is unbearable and the performance lackluster. For the first time I am completely apathetic to a DVD release.

I'vce been playing the Hyde Park release non-stop. It was a great performance when there, and sounds great on iTunes. Fabulous mix too. It's not Sept 4 here in the States yet, I expect the announcement will come on 4 September EDT.

It's both. You know where flacnvinyl is coming from in his name. Woz I bet has his whole music collection on his iPod, a handful of CD's and no vinyl. I thought Hyde Park was great until someone here mentioned the in your face mid range and he was right. I still like it but think the CD should eliminate that problem.

I have the CD files and the thing is it's sounding even worse to me. This kind of mixing technique is made for lossy files not for CD quality files IMO.
As pointed out Flacnvinyl, with such high level of dynamic range compression the groove is gone. Guitars are just lost in the mix. Even Jagger's voice seems distant. I don't get why they need to mix rock music this way.

The mixing people are obviously some young nerds who don't understand the music of the Stones at all. What I don't understand why the band does allow this to happen.

I was at HP, actually chose a location where the sound was better on the account of visibility of the stage. The ITunes mix/release pretty much follows the actual sound that the crowd heard. I relay not only on my memory (I'm kind of a mixing freak - love to play with the mix controls in my stereo and listen to the same live recordings in the most different ways my system allows) but also on my personal clips I've taken as well as others on youtube. Sure, this is no science, and I cannot compete with the tendencies of people whom are much more audiophile than me, but for this specific live recording I really liked the fact they followed the actual live sound of that evening.
So - sure for many the mix might be a big miss of potential, but I feel that many who were actually at the show appreciate the ITunes download mix that preserves much of the sound and atmosphere. King of a really good bootleg. We all know how many complains there are out there for the "manipulated" classic live recordings such as 1969-MSG show or the Who's Woodstock selected bits (See Me, Feel Me, Sparks etc.).
The HP 2013 download is a great live recording, not too manipulated by back office technicians ( well... apart from the "Sampling" they had to do for the SMU intro... ). I really like it. I think that if they would produce a remastered clean version of HP 2013 I would still stick to the current one.
