The 2 remixed tracks are digital as well. Kind of defeats the audiophile approach of keeping everything analog until the last possible second.Porsche wrote:Looks like 'The Soft Parade' will have two bonus tracks:

Meh. I would have preferred Hoffman's take on "Who Scared You."

Yeah, these two tracks just feel like ads for the remixes. Might explain why Hoffman is also giving away a Perception box set on his site. I'm sure they'll do the same thing with 'Morrison Hotel.' Hoffman said he wanted to have Botnick mix some instrumental versions but Elektra wasn't too crazy about the idea. I guess this was Plan B.

when you click on the cduniverse link, it lists a release schedule that includes these expensive Japanese import CD releases of the Doors albums:The Royal Sperm wrote:i just noticed that the MH Gold is already for pre order ... but i thinks that it will have a delay too

Good morning. I'm not home and I have no personal computer (it went ka-Boom) so I'm a bit out of touch.
Possibly the file got corrupted down the line on MORRISON HOTEL with static on a section of "Roadhouse Blues". Replacement disks will be manufactured but since this has to go through WB inventory control it will take a few weeks. A replacement disk will be yours if you want it, never fear.
Sorry for this. Sheet happens.
Regardless of where you bought your MORRISON HOTEL, don't return to store or on-line dealer. Just contact Audio Fidelity (link on my homepage). They will take care of you.

I am not really one to be able to tell much of a different on this kind of stuff (not an audiophile..I suppose thats the proper term??) ....but in my opinion, yes I can tell a difference on SP. I have yet to get MH just because I do not want to deal with shipping it back if the RHB track is all fucked up in the beginning.jdlaw wrote:I was thinking about buying this and the new Morrison Hotel.

Thanks for the reply! Think I'm going to go ahead and get them. Better to get those now, then when their out of print I guess.Lauren wrote:I am not really one to be able to tell much of a different on this kind of stuff (not an audiophile..I suppose thats the proper term??) ....but in my opinion, yes I can tell a difference on SP.

Has anyone gotten a copy recently? Have they fixed the error discs?hardrockcafe wrote:Yikes! "Everything is fucked up as usual."

I have to say I really like the clarity of the '99 remasters. They did a good job with them. But they aren't as "warm" as the original LPs. For that warmer analog sound, I recommend Hoffman's remasters. His recent SP and MH releases match up nicely with the DCC albums.
As far as I know, the errors on MH haven't been fixed yet. Meaning if you buy a copy now you'll have to send it in to Audio Fidelity to be replaced with an error-free version. Has anyone heard of anyone getting their replacement disc yet?

Thanks for the advice Porsche! Think I'll wait now for reviews saying Morrison Hotel has been fixed before I purchase that one.
The reason I was on the fence about getting this is all the other Doors stuff I own is Great! Love the remixes on the Perception dvds, the 99 remasters (also included in Perception on the cds), as well as the vinyl box I got recently.

If you do have an error-free copy, it'd be the first one I've heard about after reading through all the messages on Hoffman's board. But I suppose it's possible if only a certain number of CDs were affected. Here's the opening of RHB with the distortion on it to compare to yours: http://www.sendspace.com/file/6wuax5BallroomDays67 wrote:I ordered my copy from TowerRecords.com on 9/7. I listened very carefully to "Roadhouse Blues" at 0:15 and 0:27, and didn't hear any errors. How noticeable is it?
The flutter occurs in the right channel about 15 seconds in, and then it occurs again more subtly at 27 seconds in. It's easiest to hear with headphones.

I was wondering if anyone had received their Morrison Hotel replacement discs when I decided to drop by the Steve Hoffman forums to see if there was an answer. And I found this post from Oct. 14:
To our friends,
As indicated in your emails that you sent to us regarding the MoHo replacement discs, the factory used the wrong master in re-manufacturing. We work with one of the finest plants in the world, ODS, and in this case a manufacturing error happened, and it was on the Morrison Hotel. Lucky us. Instead of using the new master, the old master was re-used. After we received emails last night, we immediately emailed the plant. I personally spoke to the plant this morning and they acknowledged the error. They'll be making replacement discs for the replacement discs.
"s**t happens". Sorry, guys for the inconvenience. No reason to send back the discs, keep 'em-- We have all of your information on file and will automatically send you out the new replacement disc as soon as possible. ODS has promised they'll re-manufacture as quickly as possible, and we'll get these back to you. Again, sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks for your support.

I believe this is the second time I've seen the phrase "shit happens" come from someone at the company related to this error. (Hoffman said it last time.) Is this really going to be their company stance? Sure, mistakes can happen and I'm glad they were ready to sort things out early on, but now they have to issue a replacement disc for the replacement disc. Unreal. It might be time for Audio Fidelity to find someone else to manufacture their discs.
