Second Toughest In The Infants Deluxe/Super Deluxe 2015

[Mike]

The remastering is very subtle on Disc 2. Born Slippy certainly sounds different, compression is different exposing distinct layers in the track. In particular, there is a bass drone starting at 2:37 and every 4 beats that is more prominent.

The biggest disappointment for me is Tin There which sounds more of a mess than ever. As soon as that "mesh" comes in, its just brick wall distortion all the way. The original version sounded warmer, with the softer drums slightly masking the distortion.

Deep Arch and Deep Pan are crisper, but I don't see the real benefit in remastering these tracks.
