OK...about to show my age.
I worked as a mastering engineer for GRT Corporation in the 70's. We did tape duplication for second and third tier labels: ABC/Dunhill, Arista, Janus, Beserkley(!), Chess, Fantasy, etc.; in other words, just about everybody that WASN'T part of EMI, Columbia, or WEA. One of my favorite sonic moments was mastering a version of Barnstorm for Quadrophonic 8-track duplication. The quad mix sounded amazing! Walsh truly has a gift for building a masterpiece around a simple riff.
Back then, editing was done with razor blades and splicing blocks...eek!
Marty
P.S. Also memorable was the quad mix of the first Eric Carmen solo album.

FANTASTIC album. A friend has a MFSL Gold disc of this and I don't know if they've made it any better,
but it's astounding in it's fidelity. The review was entertaining, but mentioned the fact that it's been remastered as an afterthought. Anyone have the new remaster and can comment? Can you do better than the MFSL anyway?
Just curious.
later,joe
