Folsom Prison Blues is on the original San Quentin LP.

If it weren't for CCM, we have probably not have gotten the Amazing Rhythm Aces catalog on CD either. Collectables did issue an excellent reissue of B.W. Stevenson's My Maria album with bonus tracks, retitled "The Very Best of B.W. Stevenson."

I spend lots of time doing research.

Although Amy does sing better all the time, her best album overall, IMO is Lead Me On, a digital recording mastered by Bob Ludwig from 1988, which does sound excellent sonically. The Collection, from 1986, mastered by Doug Sax, is an excellent compilation of many of her early Christian singles.

They are pressured to use it by the record labels so that it can sound "hot" and some actually like using it while many hate using it.

Heart In Motion was mastered in 1991 and it is very compressed. An example of it can be seen right here with a waveform of Every Heartbeat. BTW, this was Amy's breakthrough album to the pop audiences. Stephen also mastered her followup album, House of Love in 1994. http://rvcc2.raritanval.edu/ktek90...

I actually have quite a few Stephen Marcussen mastered discs.

One of the CDs I have that was mastered by Stephen Marcussen is Amy Grant's Heart In Motion.

The Gillian Welch waveform represents that it isn't compressed as much as the Michelle Branch waveform.

That's exactly why I posted it at Amazon.com

Great review Luke. I like it so much that I posted it on Amazon.com

BTW, you can go to the page for the Deluxe Edition of Who's Next and you will see it right there, bookmark my "Review" page and keep up on the votes if you wish.
