Hmm, good point. I knew Rhino had a lot of Warners stuff, but I
hadn't made the connection to that stable of labels.
Still, even if Sandy mixed the original tapes half to death, I can't
help but think some judicious re-EQing of the stereo master would
help somewhat. And we know the bonus material is out there ... :)
IMO, the "Imaginos mythos" material stands behind most of the most
compelling work from the Wide World o' BOC, and it's a crime against
culture that the _Imaginos_ album itself languishes in semi-birthed
obscurity.
Cheers,
Carl
