"minimax CJ Remaster"
So, why this remaster? Well, Frankfurt 1988 was my second concert ever and my very first Boss gig. I had listened to some Springsteen bootlegs before but this was nothing compared to a Boss live experience. I was literally blown away by the performance right at the start of the gig, standing in the second row in front of the stage barrier at Waldstadion.
Out of the three available Frankfurt 1988 sources I personally prefer the minimax master: Excellent recording, minimax! But there are a few glitches or things that were "not right" in my sense within the minimax master (see Fixes/Changes). Therefore I decided to test my sound mastering skills and create one version out of the available sources that is complete and as glitch free as possible. So here it is.
Please let me know what you think about my effort. Your feedback is very welcome!
Highlights of this release:
- pop free
- no unnecessary breaks (resulting from tape flips or CD length limitations)
- music should be complete, in between song cheers may be lost for a few seconds
- *no* equalizing, normalization or compression was done on the minimax master, only normalization on source B and C to adopt them to the source A level
