Two's Missing: how's the sound quality?

Postby MK » Sun Jun 05, 2005 10:07 pm

Steve Hoffman mastered this, right? Does it sound better than the other reissues out there?

He didn't master the CD, though I think it sounds great!
The stereo/mono designations on the back cover of the CD are totally wrong, though.

Several songs on Two's Missing are unique to this CD, unless you find the original UK or US singles. So it is necessary if you want every Who song on CD.

The sound is okay, comparable to Who's Missing and Rarities 1&2. "Water" sounds better than on Rarities 1&2, but the other common songs are a bit better on Rarities 1&2. The CD is very hard to find. Don't know about the LP (mastered by SH).

Good question. However, there is always the possibility to trade...

I have an original CD, it cost me "only" about $20, but it has the Who's Missing front cover. Too bad, the Two's Missing cover would have been kind of charming. :)

I found mine used for about $7.99 and almost fell over. I figured to find the LP long before the CD, at the current going rate...
Anyone else a huge fan of "Heat Wave?" One of my faves...

I also found a cheap copy, and always presumed it was pirated -- the MCA logo on the disc face is fuzzy, the type font used on the spine doesn't match the one usually used by MCA, and the colors on the back of the tray card have a crosshatch-like appearance usually indicative of a color photocopy.

But the disc is a direct clone of the real thing, so it was money well spent.

P.S. I'm a big "Dogs Part Two" guy, myself.

That's a great track. I'm a huge fan of the original "Dogs," as well as "Heat Wave" and "Under My Thumb."
