NO! have mercy, you are not the Lone Ranger, I agree with you completely. The remasters suck bad compared to the originals, but then so does everything they have put out since the release of sixpack (Rev. Willie G. signed copy). I don't know about other CD's. I would love to get First Album and RIo Grande Mud in the nonremastered mode, my Sixpack version of these two albums has gone just about everywhere I have gone and no longer functions properly (e.g., 'Just got back from baby's' will not play past 2 minutes). It's hammered.
But Mejames is right too, you have to get DeGuello. It isn't on the sixpack because I think ZZ doesn't own the rights to it or something. There is something funny going on with it anyway, I had to buy a german import and it cost a bunch. Of all I got , it's my favorite *because* it hasn't been resampled. Try gemm.com, if there are original releases out there, someone on there will have them for sale.
