I HAVE BEEN WAITING AN ETERNITY FOR PRESSURE COOKIN' AND PHOENIX TO BECOME AVAILABLE ON CD. IMAGINE MY EXCITEMENT AND SHEER BLISSFUL DELIGHT WHEN I SAW THIS 3 CD PACKAGE. SADLY AFTER PURCHASING AND OPENING THIS BEAUTIFULLY PACKAGED ITEM, I WAS WOEFULLY DISAPPOINTED. DON'T MISUNDERSTAND ME, NEVER WITH THE REMARKABLE VOICES OF THESE THREE, BUT THE MINIMAL PACKAGING AND PRESENTATION OF THIS CLASSICALLY HISTORIC MUSIC.
ONLY AFTER A SMALL INDEPENDENT COMPANY ("REEL MUSIC") RELEASED PRESSURE COOKIN' ON CD, DID MAJOR LABEL SONY FINALLY DECIDE TO RESPECT LABELLE AND RELEASE THESE JEWELS AS A TRILOGY. FIRSTLY, THIS RELEASE SHOWS NO PROOF OF ANY OF THESE LPS HAVING BEEN REMASTERED. THE MIX ON PRESURE COOKIN' IS ALL WRONG. ALTHOUGH THE BASS IS MASSIVE AND UP FRONT, THE MARVELOUS HORN PUNCHES AND ACCENTS ARE SO LOW THEY ARE ACTUALLY MISSING! THE SAME HOLDS TRUE FOR THE GUITARS, THEY SHOULD BE JUMPING OUT RIGHT AT YOU. INSTEAD BOTH THE HORNS AND GUITARS ARE VERY LOW IN THE MIX. THE GIRLS VOICES IN THE BACKGROUND ARE MIXED SO LOW YOU HAVE TO STRAIN TO HEAR THEM. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE VOLUME WAYYYYYY UP FOR THE MUSIC TO COME TO YOU. I'M DISGUSTED.
ON TOP OF THIS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WRITTEN INFORMATION REGARDING THE 3 LPS. NO BOOKLET, NO PAMPHLET, NO INSERT OF ANY KIND, NO NOTHIN'!!!!!!!! THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. ALL OF THIS HISTORICAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS MUSIC AND THESE ICONS AND THEY HAVE INCLUDED NOTHING!!!!! I WAS STUNNED.
UNFORTUNATELY THE SOUND ON THE "REEL MUSIC" RELEASE OF PRESSURE COOKIN' IS NO BETTER. APPARENTLY THEY RELEASED THEIRS IN CONJUNCTION WITH SONY, (SINCE IT DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT BEING LICENCED BY SONY).THEY PROBABLY JUST USED THE SAME TRANSFER. THEY DO HOWEVER INCLUDE A 14 PAGE EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE BOOKLET WITH ALL LYRICS INCLUDED. WONDERFUL CONTRIBUTIONS FORM NONA, SARAH, VICKI WICKHAM, MAXAYN AND ANDRE'LEWIS. THEY JUST MENTION THE MUSIC WAS TRANSFERRED FROM THE ORIGINAL ANALOG TAPES, BUT NO MENTION OF REMASTERING, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME TRANSFER ON THIS RELEASE. SONY COULD HAVE JUST DONE SO MUCH BETTER. LABELLE DESERVES IT.
