Hi, ask a question.
What is the difference between these two versions?
Thank you
Here’s what the Captain says about the old version:
NEW VERSION - PITCH & PHASE CORRECTED ( Finished 29. December 2011 )
Hi Stones fanatics,
this is something I wanted to do for years. Actually I have tried before, but was not satisfied with the results. But since then I have found much better sources. I would like to thank to 3 guys for this. First, Silkcut for his vinyl rip of "The Toronto Session", than Midnrambler for posting on HC "Keith Richards 1981 & 1983" and in the end Erik Snow for his post of VGP-377 "Keith Richards - A Stone Alone".
My remastering was just some EQ and level correction. After years of remastering bootlegs my philosophy is less is more, what I am trying to say is that most of the bootleg remasters suffer from being over-done. It looks like people are just drawn to do something, just because they can. There was no noise reduction or compression used on this one, no brick-wall!
Another fantastic artwork was done by Mr.D.
Enjoy

And here about the other version (which is version 3, I don’t know what happened to version 2):
Hi Gang,
this is a new version ( 35th Anniversary ), I have done a completely new remaster. Azimuth misalignment correction, new pitch & level correction and a bit of EQ
There were few things I was still unhappy about. First, there was still a bit of that annoying mid frequency, so I have cut it down a bit. At the same time I have added a touch of bass and a tiny bit of treble. Much better now.
Another thing, in those first 9 tracks (second disc), was that the levels were not perfect, yet. Sometime the sax was way up too loud and Keith`s vocals too low. I have fixed it now, again much better. Just listen to that second track ( Over The Rainbow) and hear how the sax is not brutally loud anymore, for the first time ever.
And this is the 35th Anniversary Edition.
Version 03 - An Upgrade.
If you have the previous version, you can delete it now.
