the only remasters worth buying are the Hendrix ones - it has a crisp rawness missing from the muddy mixes of the originals

and the only newly remixed album I like is Iggy & The Stooges' Raw Power done by Iggy himself - it now sounds like a "punk" album and not a "glam rock" one, though I still do like the Bowie mix

Are you talking of the Hendrix remasters that were just released a year or two ago or the late 90s remasters?

Yeah, Iggy's 97 Raw Power kicks ass.

Yeah. The Bowie mix is alright. I remember at one point the original masters of "Raw Power" were stolen, and eventually found and retrieved by none other than Henry Rollins and a few others. Nardwuar asked him about it in the (hilarious) interview he did with Rollins which can be seen here:



Nardwaur is a love or hate guy though with people, excellent journalist, does his research and is very unique and knowledged... though his voice gets on peoples never sometimes... Personally I think Nardwuar is awesome, and his voice is part of the reason why, and his knowledge of so many scenes is always amazing. This one with Rollins is one of my favorites, Rollins getting pissed at him is hilarious.

One bit of trivia about this interview: Nardwuar originally asked Henry if he would be willing to do this interview in the local flag shop.... that none other than Ron "Chavo" Reyes, who was a vocalist for Black Flag before Henry worked at at the time. But, Henry declined doing the interview there though and it never happened.
