Summary and Other Comments: The release of this album via an independent "on-line" company was a bold and innovative move.

The CD itself is <unfortunately> not all that flattering to the band. Good performances are buried under a bad mix. What should have sounded similar to "Live At Leeds", instead sounds muddy and lifeless.

About: The Blues To The Bush

This one has an interesting history, but I'll focus on the CD itself...
 
The mix on this CD is just awful. The vocals are sort of where they should be, but the right channel (Pete's guitar) is mixed way up and everything else is mixed way down - very little bass, and a strain to hear the drums.
 
The only explanation is that whoever mixed this must be near deaf.

By way of example ("Pure And Easy" Sound Samples):

Original CD Mix   Remixed
 
After trying to get through a few songs, I asked myself, "why am I listening to this???" Sorry, but it's just horrible...
