JOHN LENNON
LIVING ON BORROWED TIME
REMASTERED EDITION

Remasters Workshop RMW 567 / 568

Pitch, phase and level corrected from the 2CD set on His Master's Choice.

It is said that His Master's Choice is the same outfit that used to be Yellow Dog. If that is the case, it is no surprise to me that every song on both discs was out of phase, and played back at the wrong speed. Just like all of their other bootlegs. So I have remedied that situation.

All tracks have been phase corrected and converted to true mono (where they were mono), and pitch corrected to A=440. You can't help but notice that it sounds much better when the songs don't wander in pitch and intonation all over the map. John didn't usually play in sharp or flat keys. He would stick to E, A, C, D, and G on both piano and guitar. Only the tape speed on the source CD is wrong. With that fixed, it sounds as normal as you'd expect.

For anyone who wonders what they'll be getting, most of these recordings are in superb quality. You will not be disappointed.

I haven't been able to find printable artwork for this set yet. If anyone has any, or would like to design some, please step forward!

Enjoy!
