Re: PETE DELLO AND FRIENDS Into Your Ears (Special 2CD Edition)
Paul Martin
Thanks Mark, due on 12th Jan with Amazon UK and about the same time with Juno here, so will pick it up form one or the other (same price). Glad to hear it's a tri-panel card sleeve and not a jewel case. Sounds like a lot of fun. I don't think I have heard the 2005 version in a number of years so will be quite an interesting comparative listen. Do the liners say what the source is for the Nepantha mix?

Hi Paul,
It doesn't really state in the liners if the Nepantha mix is from the master:
"Original album released in 1972 as Nepantha 6437001...
DISC 1 mastered by Javier Roldón at Vacuum Mastering, May 2022"
Further on it says:
"Due to absence of original master tapes some tracks have been mastered from the best vinyl sources available, and have been included here for their historical significance."
But I think here they're referring to some of the bonus tracks.
I have heard no surface noise whatsoever on the Nepantha mix, so it may be from the master... but that is just my personal opinion, I could be wrong.
