CD Reviews
Bad Sound Quality (again) -shame on Majestic Rock label
L. Tucker | NY | 02/17/2006

"Well it does appear that Majestic Rock (re-issue label) have simply repackaged their awful sounding re-issues of Pat Traver's first four albums into a boxed set. Shame on you Majestic Rock!
With this boxset limited to only 1000 copies, I'll be surprised if they can sell any of them. :(
A real shame too as these albums are simply too good to only afford them half-baked remastering (actually poor mastering to the point of compromising the sound from the original master tape itself). My record albums sound better! These discs are riddles with static (a result of cutting the 2 track DAT too hot from the original master tape).
There are several compilations out from Polydor (Pat's original label) that sound fine (much better than this box set). There's also an EXELLENT 2 disc compilation out from Repertoire called "Rock Solid -The Essential Pat Travers starting at $15.56! 32 tracks from his 9 Polydor albums (1976 -1984) all digitally remastered, packaged in a beautiful tri-fold digi-pak with awesome linear notes and pictures. Awesome Sound Quality, Highly recommended. :)

REMASTERED?

"I WAS HAPPY TO SEE THESE ALBUMS REMASTERED. I AM A BIG P.T. FAN AND LOOKED FORWARD TO THIS SET. UNFORTUNATELY THE SOUND QUALITY IS VERY POOR. THESE OBVIOUSLY ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL MASTERS. I HAVE SEVERAL HIT COMPILATIONS OF PAT'S AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS FAR SUPERIOR. ON THIS "FOUR PLAY" THE SOUND IS FLAT AND THE HIGH END CRACKS UP A BIT. WHY WEREN'T THE HIGH QUALITY ORIGINAL MASTERS USED?"
BIG DISAPPOINTMENT

"What did PT do to deserve this kind of treatment? It's hard to believe how bad this thing sounds. On headphones, these discs are absolute audio hell, the crackling is unbearable. What are the people at Majestic Rock thinking? Is all their other product this bad? The only reason I gave it the extra star is because the packaging is kind of nice, and I like the idea of Pat's classic stuff all in one package. But something's gone horribly wrong here! These first four PT albums are total classics, and deserve to be available in listenable quality. Actually two of them are: Buy the 2003 Universal Records twofer of 'Putting It Straight' and 'Heat In The Street' for great sounding copies of those two LP's. As for the first two LP's, I wish Universal, or anybody (who owns the Polydor catalog?), would give those the same treatment."

"pat travers combo-"FOUR PLAY". This 4 cd set is the best part of PAT TRAVERS. PAT TRAVERS, MAKIN MAGIC, PUTTING IT STRAIGHT and HEAT IN THE STREETS!!. All the discs appear to be remastered, no bonus tracks and a folded booklet explaining each cd/album(remember those folks)and some personal insight to his life at the time. I have no real issues with this release but I will talk about how PUTTING IT STRAIGHT & HEAT IN THE STREET have already come out as a twofer(signed or unsigned by pat)--some places where record shows are held you can find reasonable attempts of BOOTLEG editions of his 1st or 2nd albums that at the time were unreleased to the public however, I only hope that the company who put this nicely assembled set will venture further into pat's catalog and find someway to release the next four in his career CRASH and BURN, RADIO ACTIVE, BLACK PEARL and HOT SHOT. there a plenty of foreign imports that may or maynot be in print-one contains the whole disc of GO FOR WHAT YOU KNOW-live disc--so they can skip that one(it might be out by itself too)---multiple ad-nausem compilations of his music and a few attempts at video, dvd boots or authentic releases--all very questionable quality. hooray for putting out the product, but howabout more of his (at this time-UNRELEASED material) of already recorded music. good job and fans of pat have reason to buy this but be aware you may already be double or triple dipping his music."
