I only have one Glen Campbell collection, and I like it - The Very Best Of Glen Campbell (1987)
Seems to be low-generation source tapes, reasonable EQ, large dynamic range, no noise reduction, no shortening of the fades. Might be worth checking out. Edited by crapfromthepast |

There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

I have this one as well. One of the first Glen discs I ever had. Quite good. I have to say the "Classic Collection" I mentioned above is just that a tad better on the common tracks. It even beat out all the Bill Inglot stuff on Rhino VA comps when I did an A/B comparison which really impressed me. A friend I shared the disc with informed me that even the HDTracks versions of the songs don't sound as good as they do on "Classic Collection" disc. This disc was mastered by Glenn Meadows in Nashville. No traces of noise reduction, either. Quite a revelation on songs like "Wichita Lineman" and "Galveston". Edited by LunarLaugh |

In comparing the various CD appearances of "Galveston" I happen to have, I couldn't help notice there is a weird edit on the stereo mix. The
intro is spliced in from either a different mix or a narrowed copy of the wider stereo mix. Listen right around 15 seconds into the song starting on the line "I still hear your sea winds blowing..." and you'll hear the soundstage of the mix suddenly gets wider and also the speed/pitch lowers just a little bit and remains at that lower speed/pitch for the remainder of the song. It also seems that the intro and the remainder past the edit point may also have different polarity. I did attempt to correct this by widening the intro and inverting and speeding up the remainder past the edit point for my own library. Happy to share my quick fix if anyone wants a listen.
