The Replacements - Sire albums

Rhino is planning to reissue these with bonus tracks, but you may want to hold on to the originals.
That probably goes without saying, since Rhino usually compresses everything nowadays, in addition to the usual treble boost. But, I was burning a 'Mats comp and opened a few up to adjust the volume - the stuff from Tim and Pleased To Meet Me were already maxing out. Surprising 'cause these are VERY quiet recordings, they're just REALLY dynamic on these CD's. Both probably came from the original master tapes because they date from the CD era; Pleased To Meet Me is even a digital recording.
Compare them to All For Nothing..., mastered by Bob Ludwig around 1995 or so. That disc is really smashed with a sharp boost on the top end.
