I get what you're saying. From my point of view, tracks originally slated for distribution may no longer be the mixes we hear on the album. We will be able to tell the differences on mixes that have already been released / leaked, but as for all of the tracks that we haven't heard yet there will be an "original mix" and an "album mix". For me, it's kind of exciting knowing that somewhere there are tracks that were originally slated for the scheduled release that may not see the light of day, because they have been altered for the delayed release. Maybe filler for an anniversary release in 2020. Or if they are smart each track released as a digital download from http://topspin.net/ renamed as "original mix" or "2009 mix". Or if they got really inventive... pressed on colored 7" vinyl. I know I'm a freak about this kind of stuff, but I can't bear the thought that we may never hear the original versions and that they me be sitting in the vaults next to the submarine version of Hello Nasty.

The difference between The Aquatic Sessions and original masters of Hot Sauce Committee is a wide yawning chasm of incomparability.

also, i am no expert on sound quality on stuff but how come it needed improving in the first place? Does that mean they would have put out sub par sound recordings had it not been delayed. is sound recording that fast moving a technology that it needs updating already.

once again, they have no reason to lie. there's always something that can be improved, whether major or minor. if you've got the time, and something sounds iffy, why not tweak? it's simple as pie. i think you're making something out of nothing my man. :)

I mean, how do you even know if it's a Claret or not?

right, well i dont want to be one of those twats who just winds people up and starts bleating cos nobody else shares my views but :

. I thought mr diamond laboured the point a bit too much, thats all. It got me thinking that there is no way of knowing for some of the tracks. I'll stand down on this one because i would hope to god that they do some tweaks, it would be a very nice gesture seeing as we have had to wait a longer time (as long as its not going to delay shit even longer!).

I still dont know how to tell the difference from a remastering for stuff done less than 12 months ago.

Kid P, you are hilarious and annoying at the same time

that is more of a joke. the point is that we may never here the mixes that were originally intended for the album.

if it's solely the mixing and mastering that they're more or less tweaking, then the songs will still be identical arrangement/production/music wise. therefore i'd assume the changes wouldn't be all that apparent. If noticeable at all, they'll just be more sonically improved.

i guess what i'm saying is, i wouldn't fret on the assumption that you're missing out on a whole different version. if anything, the older mixes would just sound less fine-tuned. :o

I went to Prof D's page and listened to the Too Many Rappers instrumental, and there is lots we're missing out on in the final mix. Maybe Mario will do them a solid and pop in for a visit /unnecessary wish
