That oughta be interesting! Carl's live shows were so rocking yet the studio recordings lack a lot of that (I'm talking about the first album of course). I wonder if John Daly can say something about that. I guess it was intentionally mixed and mastered that way.
Carl's show at My Father's Place was remastered by a fan and played on youtube recently along with John Daly on chat. You can listen to the show and read the chat here:
