Remastered by Professor Stoned.
If that’s really the case for Sigma 305, then Lighthouse’s site should have said “MAJOR UPGRADE” rather than just “(LONGER &) UPGRADE”. It’s not very often that their CD’s are actually better than advertised, but occasionally they can be, I suppose. As just an example of Lighthouse’s inconsistency in their sound quality ratings/descriptions, it reminds me of the case of the 2 Rush 1981 titles released years ago by Cygnus (Chicago & Long Beach shows), in which the Long Beach show was advertised by Lighthouse as sounding considerably better than the Chicago show, but I actually found the Chicago show to be quite noticeably superior in sound quality to the Long Beach show.
I finally got Sigma 305, and although it doesn’t seem to be a “HUGE UPGRADE” that Litehouse’s site could have claimed it to be, it is noticeably better than Sigma’s previous version (“Uncut Concertgebouw 1969”). Disc 1 is exactly 16 seconds longer (than “Uncut”) on my CD player, and Disc 2 is exactly 4 seconds longer.
Thank you.
Thanks very much for this info. The Pink Floyd 2CD is said to be “longer & upgrade”, but Disc 1 is approx. only 21 seconds longer than Disc 1 of Sigma’s previous version (“Uncut Concertgebouw 1969”), and Disc 2 is approx. only 10 seconds longer than Disc 1 of “Uncut Concertgebouw 1969”. It makes no mention whatsoever of being remastered by Graf Zeppelin, and judging by the sound quality of “Uncut Concertgebouw 1969”, how much better can it get? Very likely just tweaked a tiny bit.
Also, very sorry to hear about Jeff Beck. RIP!
However, the new Sigma 305 (Floyd) has a rather excellent front cover, and “Aftermath” of the Stones looks great too.
Yes very sad news with Jeff Beck passing away suddenly. The first of the legendary Yardbird ‘guitar trio’ to go ….
And now David Crosby gone too. It is only the first month of the year, and already 2023 is a bad one for farewelling baby boomer greats.
… And now the great Tom Verlaine has passed away too on January 28. He was such a unique guitarist and songwriter. RIP Tom.
