Hi All..
Sony/BMG ordered the tapes out of the cold storage vault. We remastered the record from the 1/4 inch master mix tapes...not the 2 inch multi-track tapes, which are, to our knowledge, are in London, stored in the RCA/BMG/SONY vaults there. I imagine that there wasn't a need to ship those multitracks back to the US, as the record was "mixed down" in London..
As I stated in my lines notes, the miracle was that, one of the quarter inch mix tapes contained a re-mix of the first single on TRINPFAL, :"If You're Gonna Break Another Heart", which we utilized on the remastered CD.
As far as further technical information goes...I have no idea what exactly was "tweaked" in the remastering of these albums. I was there..but many knobs were turned...!!
Have a great holiday!!
Owen
