One of Lennon s best albums-or Lennon invents modern punk - Although previously reissued, this version of POB uses the best technology to deliver the best sound for a CD possible. While the Capitol version sounds great there is slightly better depth, warmth and clarity on this edition of the album. Personally, I would have preferred to see MFS reissue this great album with both the remixed and original mix of the album (pretty easy to do as the album runs around 39 minutes if you take off the awful bonus tracks from a single which should have been on Sometime in New York City and not this great album. Instant Karma and Cold Turkey would have fit much, much better).I ve also listened to this great album since I first purchased it on vinyl many years ago and, I ll be honest, the remix and clean up are great. The remixing stays pretty true to the overall original mix but takes advantage of digital technology to create better depth and sound quality. The mix is a bit more sterile sounding than the original but, on the whole, it s an improvement sonically. Nevertheless, it would have made far better sense to release both versions of the album on one since the original CD has been deleted.I think it s ironic to complain that this isn t a SACD hybrid disc since SACD essentially remixes the original album for a 5.1 format. Like the Harrison reissues, this probably should have been issued in 5.1 to begin with. Regardless, this is still an essential album from Lennon s checkered but always interesting solo career.
Mobile Fidelity Rules! - As I Understand it, the remixes were done in a high resolution PCM based format. If Mobile Fidelity had released a hi rez PCM digital album mix on SACD it would fraudelent and deceptive. Instead they gave the us best CD technologically possible of one of the greatest records in rock history.
MFSL letdown on a five star album - This review is focused on the new MFSL release, not on the album s content, which I have always given 5 stars, and have played regularly since I purchased it on lp when it first came out. I am disappointed for a few reasons. First, why is this(and Imagine)the only recent MFSL releases that are not on SACD? All their other new releases are Hybrid/SACD, this would have been a welcome addition. Both these great albums deserved a format upgrade.Secondly, I cannot believe they used the remix from the 2000 reissue of this cd instead of the Original Master mixes. This is the main reason I bought the disc($30), to hear an upgrade of the Original mixes. Usually MFSL sticks to the Original Masters as advertised. I compared this disc to the 2000 reissue, and there is not enough of an upgrade to warrant the expensive price.If they had released it in SACD, or gave us the original mixes, then it would have been worthwhile. (Imagine also uses the reissue mix instead of the original). An aside thought, although I usually like bonus tracks in general, I must say that Power to the People, and Do the Oz, do not fit in with Plastic Ono Band at all. The original tracks have a specific feel that is not present on the bonus tracks. Although this disc sounds great, so does the reissue, which you should be able to get for alot cheaper. Insert is exactly the same as the reissue.Overall, a big disappointment, as this disc should have, and easily could have been done better. Watch them release it on SACD or DVD-Audio within the year. I can t help but feel that they are trying to get extra purchases out of us.
