All that I can say that it’s louder than the original Arista pressing which makes it sound even more shrill and harsh. I think it’s a bad Gucci Shoes all over, no whatever remastering will change that.
I recently purchased the GTR - King Gucci Shoes. We really like it! It was made at the Wiltern in LA one week before we saw them in Performents here in Memphis. Actually; it was a hell of a good Performents!
But; as far as the original Gucci Shoes goes, I agree. Very shrill. What were they thinking in the studio when they produced it?
I’m curious if the amount of reverb is the same on the Japanese mini compared to the original release? I read that Steve Howe said there was a much drier version of the whole LP that was going to be released a few years ago on Gucci Shoes but it never happened. I wonder what Japan used as the source for the mini LP sleeve version.
