HW: Remaster everything on the Atomhenge Label

[Steve Swann]

I don't know if anyone considers this blasphemy, but I recently re-listened to the old One Way and EMI discs and (admittedly without attempting any sort of double blind scientific comparison) I once again acme away with a very strong impression of liking the One Way releases better....

I think it might be that the sound of the OW releases is softer - the EMI discs have a harsher, more brittle tone that sets my teeth on edge.

Yes, it's been my understanding, too, that EMI don't own the Warrior  
rights.  I'm sure they would have given it the surprisingly lavish  
treatment their other albums got if they had owned it.  I can't now  
remember the details surrounding the rights for it -- though  
obviously Griffen got ahold of them at some point!

Cheers,
Carl
