This purports to be a copy of a mix prepared for DCC Compact Classics by famed audio engineer Steve Hoffman. Discogs has another version, with the cover with being a mock DCC slip case with the black and white cover of the original All Things Must Pass album released in Japan in 2023.
This new Japanese bootleg version has a color cover and is probably a copy of that bootleg. The printing on the CD itself looks blurry. The track listing on the back only lists 14 of the 18 songs, which is a sloppy error on the part of the bootleggers.
Hoffman has stated that unused mixes are destroyed, so it's anybody's guess whether this is or isn't his mix.
So... what does Our Beloved Voodoo Wagon Audience think of this mix? I haven't done an A/B comparison between this and the many releases of the original albums (I go all the way back to the 1970's vinyl....).
Is this really different to the other mixes? Or did I just toss some money down the dumper?
To my ears, it sounds fine, but is it really a different mix? What do you think of this release?
