Raspberries - Go All The Way

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm no expert on where the Raspberries' tapes were stored or kept, but once CD reissues started to happen (late 80s/early 90s) there had to be several opportunities to use those tapes to create new and improved stereo mixes for those early mixes that 

were virtually mono. If the tapes were later lost, stolen, burned, thrown out, etc. then yes there is no way to make that happen any longer (plus is there anyone else left that would care and/or want to purchase those new remixes besides the few 

collectors like us). If there was an opportunity decades ago to use those tapes it just never happened. It may very well be that Jimmy, Eric or someone else did not want to change history even if it meant improving the sound of the song(s). We may 

never know if they had approval or veto power over a possible stereo remix for the song(s) as the CD reissues got released decades ago.

	Ron Furmanek produced the Capitol Collector's Series and he was in those vaults. And trust me, if there were any multi-tracks to find, he surely looked and didn't find anything. I can bet money he looked, and looked hard. I know him well. Now, as per the discussion about the poor stereo mix. Some folks may enjoy this digitally extracted remix for "Go All The Way" ... my friend Bob Zwolinski made this remix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oa1ZUDtT4fc It is wider stereo but a more stable and uniform mix. The wandering vocals are fixed and are easier to hear. Drums and guitars are separated left/right. Enjoy! -Mark M Edited by MMathews
