Is there anyone here who owns both series, or at least did a close listening comparison of these?

I read several, sometimes conflicting verdicts, and am pretty curious on this.

Tks in advance, THD.

The 1990 masters have some NR and at times sound somewhat muffled. The 2001 two-fers for the 1962-1969 catalog are very bright and kinda compressed. The albums after and including Sunflower are quieter and have better EQ.

There was a thread on this a month or so ago. The 1990 Old Man River is much better.

Those two, along with every other Reprise/Caribou release weren't part of the 1990 2-fers.

Oh Brian
Thou Art In Hawthorne,
Harmonied Be Thy name
Your Kingdom Come,
Your Steak Well Done,
On Stage As It Is In Studio,
Give Us This Day, Our Shortenin' Bread
And Forgive Us Our Bootlegs,
As We Also Have Forgiven Our Wife And Managers,
And Lead Us Not Into Kokomo,
But Deliver Us From Mike Love.
Amen.  ---hypehat

That I know...was referring to the 90 twofers in general.
