Hi.
I'm confused about the different masterings of 'Brothers in Arms' by Dire Straits that exist. What I've found: The original mastering was done by John Dent There is a 1995/96 remaster by Bob Ludwig The european versions of those two appeared on Vertigo and seem to share the same catalog# (824 499-2) and barcode (042282449924). Is that even possible? My copy is a version mastered by Bob Ludwig, there is no date indicating when it was mastered, but I'm quite sure my father owned it several years before 1996. Could someone confirm: - that there is an original 1985 master done by Bob Ludwig? Otherwise I'm in possession of the remaster. - that the remaster mentions a remastering date in the liner notes? Is there is a way to discern the different masterings by sound, loudness or emphasis? I could check for RG results if that helped. Which, in your opinion is the best-sounding master? I know this disc gets metioned a lot if it comes to well-sounding cds. Is this valid for all versions? |

I would search/ask on the Steve Hoffman forums.
