re: George Harrison's All Things Must Pass Reissue in Top 10-But Critics are trashing it...

The 50th Anniversary ‘All Things Must Pass’ box set is being rubbished by fans worldwide for its cheap packaging, excessive price and terrible remixes but the Whitlock statement is the most high-profile criticism of the reissue to date.
When Bobby Whitlock heard the finished product he said he was “mortified”. “That’s the worst sounding shite I have heard in my life”, he said. “It sounds like it was done by a couple of high school people. You can’t hear anything on it. Its all muddy bass and muddy drums. The voice is out the front but there is no clarity to it. I can hardly believe it. It is fricking awful”.

Note: Whitlock began his career with Sam & Dave, then Booker T & The MG’s. He then joined Delaney & Bonnie and Friends and was a member of Eric Clapton’s Derek and the Dominos where he co-wrote seven of the 14 tracks on the album including ‘Bell Bottom Blues’ and ‘Tell The Truth’.

Accidental downvote, my bad
Bobby Whitlock is the fricking man! Dude was just as important as Clapton, if not more, on the Layla album
Unreal pipes on that guy

I only listened to What Is Life, 2001 remaster and the 50th Anniversary remix/remaster. I thought the 2001 remaster sounded better. The vocal is clearer and slightly fuller. There is more separation in the instruments yet everything seems fuller. I also hear slightly more stereo width in the 2001 version. I was surprised. A new remix/remaster should sound better than something 20 years ago, yet, to me, it wasn't.

If a classic piece of work like this is going to be remastered or altered in any way, it should only be to give each element of the music more clarity if possible. I don't know who the tin-eared moron was who originally figured that jacking with levels and EQ would be anything but a downgrade.
It's like baking a cake that everybody loves so what do you do? Put it back in the oven? fricking stupid.

I'm pretty sure Whitlock played on it and is uncredited on the re-release.
