I always found interesting Keith’s main home for 30 yearsis in Greenwich CT.I live about 10 miles from him , and if you don’t know Greenwich , it is a very upscale suburban community. But it is not exotic or historical.It does not have spectacular topography or beautiful countryside.Its about 30miles north of NYC,but it’s really bland suburbia.

What we still don't know - and it's all I care about in this context is this:
Has Giles Martin's remix cleared away the murk that spoiled the original album?
A clearer sharper GHS would be wonderful. And a better drum sound would be nice. On Silver Train the snare sounds like a chop stick hitting a wet paper bag. Can't wait for Friday.... and I hope I'm not disappointed....
I think I’m more qualified than someone like you who has never been there to talk about what it’s like there.America has many spectacular places like the lands in Utah and California, beaches like the Big Sur, Floridaand Cape Cod . Great, exciting cities like NYC, Miami, SanFrancisco.Thats why international tourists flock to them.There are no tourists who flock to Weston or Fairfield County where it is located.There are no forests for hunters or tourists to look at beautiful mountains or lakes.Its bland upscale suburban living. Going to Starbucks or the ice cream shop is the big Saturday night event for most people.Again,a great place for families.Very wholesome.But if I had his money I’d live somewhere spectacularly beautiful like the Isle of Capri. You should really go to Weston and see for yourself ,before you judge my comments Im not upset he doesn’t live in the city. But it’s not a country estate really .Its pure upscale NYC suburbia.Which is great.It just strikes me as funny that the rock n roll King lives there.Next time you are in New York you and I will take a ride to Westonand hang out at the ice cream shop.Maybe Keith will be thereQuote

Taylor1Ive lived within 20 miles of Weston most of my life.It is not surrounded by forests.It has wooded areas but they are not forests.There is nothing that beautiful about the topography.No mountains,large lakes or ocean.It is not country living either as there is quite a lot of suburban development.Mostly upscale white people.No museums, nightclubs, or sports teams.The closest city is Stamford, about 10 miles away.And Stamford is a small city.Weston is great to raise kids or if you want a real upscale suburban existence, but it is boring.Its great like I said to raise your kids and wiz over to the local Starbucks, but not a wild place.Thinking of the guy throwing the tv out of the hotel room in CS Blues, I can’t picture him living thereQuote

Taylor1You are right,he lives in an adjacent town to Greenwichcalled Weston which is also bland suburbia.Located about an hours drive north of NYC. it’s even more boring than Greenwich.Its not on the Long Island Sound ,and it has nothing special in terms of topography.Nice upscale suburban community with no nightlifeNice little town,expensive.Pretty woods and foliage, but not like living on the Isle of Capri or the South of FranceQuote

Keith doesn't live in Greenwich.
Bland suburbia...
Let's see. It's not far from Long Island Sound. Keith's home is surrounded by forests.
It's similar to where I live: across the lake from New Orleans, surrounded by trees and bayous and it's generally quiet.
Explain what's boring and bland and in comparison to what doesn't qualify as boring and bland for you.
So you're uptight and disappointed that Keith lives in the middle of nowhere.
I looked at it on Google Maps - tons of trees around. That's forest.
You have a skewed vision of what life is it seems. You describe what it doesn't have as if it's not the city.
How enlightening.
Gee, it's not a city.
Goddamn. Stop whining.

I’d live in the Tuscany Valley, countryside of France, parts of California,Fisher Islandand other places where there is plenty of privacybefore I’d live in Fairfield County.It isn’t even that quiet. There are lot of people around.Its just very nice upscale suburbia.If you come to visit you will know what I mean.In fact several people have said they see him at a local Italian restaurant eating out in the public with other patrons
You are wrong. It is better to stay away from this thread on FridayQuote

Why the hell are we talking about where the lads live on this thread? Just because of a picture of Keith holding a phone? Good grief, this thread has taken a ridiculous turn. I hope with the actual release of the various iterations of this record we’ll get it back on track. I’ll be back Friday.

The question is what was his job. Was he engaged to improve the original mix or was it his job to do a completely new and modern mix? We will hear on Friday

There's probably very good reason for why it was decided to live there ...

Like because Patti's family is from nearby.

I've asked more than once about Glyn Johns's role with this album. Hopefully the liner notes shed some light on his involvement because until this deluxe release it's been zero.

It looks like he provided a mix that the band weren't too happy with. Either that, or he did it now.
Probably the former?

I wonder how long will it take on Friday for a flip from 'Even better than I thought it was going to be!' to 'It sucks, a missed opportunity'.
Could it be he mixed them in 1973 and the Stones rejected them or he did them recently for the deluxe album, instead of his brother since his brother passedQuote

Maybe it was just to get a different mix even though Andy Johns mixed the album. He's not credited anywhere on the album so it seems any involvement he had was after recording was finished.
