![]() ![]() They were able to find the original tapes - now known as the Embassy Reels - which did, indeed, have different codes and matrix numbers on them. Three decades later, Matheu informed Dickinson of the Embassy issue, and Dickinson contacted Richard Bowe at the Sony UK archive. He immediately noticed the Embassy LP and cassette mixes of "Raw Power" and "Search And Destroy" were different than the U.S. Matheu began importing copies to the Peaches record store he managed in Detroit. catalog within a year or so after its release, but had reappeared on the CBS UK budget-line Embassy Records line, "by popular demand" of Brits at the dawn of the punk rock era. It's a real mix up, but somehow, the definitive Bowie mix should have been compiled from the Embassy tape this time around, and so the issue can be given a rest.īackground on two more tracks: Raw Power was cut from the Columbia U.S. The audio cassette embassy sounds better, if that it's possible. But the Legacy issue is not the revelation it's hyped up to be. Maybe the tapes used some dolby system that somehow everyone forgot about ? I dunno. Some LPs have S&D with bass, but the rest of the album flattened. So you have some issues with the right S&D, some oddities with the rejected bowie mix like the embassy cassette, some with all the plain wrong flattened mixes (like the old CDs or the new Legacy). Here's what I think : over the years, at least three different S&D mixes, and two different rest of the album mixes got, well mixed depending on releases. The right mix of Raw Power is still featured thought, with two tracks added as bonus on disc 3 of this reissue. Hear everybass line loud and clear, without touching the mids or highs. ![]() I'm not saying hear some bottom that is pushed up in the mastering. The rest of the LP right Bowie mixes are the versions on the first press, Embassy LP or cassette (save S&D, it seems some Embassy LPs have a different mix which might be the rejected Bowie mix, tagged with the other tracks by mistake), the one where YOU CAN HEAR THE BASS. The real Iggy mix of S&D is the one with bass, that is on the first pressing, or the Embassy vinyl. I don't get it, how hard is it to grasp ? You pick up the first press, or any Embassy release, the bass is there, full on. Been listening to the Legacy mastering on itunes. ![]()
