For example, while the "Supremes" quite good sounds (here were 3 original vinyl albums dubbed: The double album "Diana Ross & The Supremes - Greatest Hits" from the 1960s, which then "... Volume 2 + 3" and "at their best" of the post-Ross Supremes) and also the Temptations (at least as regards CD 1, CD 2 also drops out) is acceptable, meets the not to the Four Tops Gold. Underpowered and poorly mixed.
I know this anger but for a long time:
In the early 1970s brought MOTOWN div. Vinyl anthologies (Diana Ross & The Supremes, Temptations, Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Marvelettes, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, Stevie Wonder, Jr. Walker & The All Stars, etc.) out that are good to this day as a reference in terms of sound quality, because they sound good dream, with abysmal lows, with the best stereo sound and a transparency, today still far from the many CDs are.
And what did the German licensee (Electrola, etc.)? ... They pushed 3-LP anthologies regularly on 2 LPs together and thus the sound was ruined. I then leave me a number of American pressures (usually 3 LPs per Anthology and 180 g) directly send from MOTOWN ...
Who wants to hear the final sound quality (without cut bass and treble), the Four Tops, who comes to the American version of the 2-CD Anthology not over:
"Four Tops - 50th Anniversary Anthology" (HIP-O Select / MOTOWN B0000488-02), double CD (2004). By contrast, the gold-CD sounds like "waste" ...
