Re: Goon tapes question for Ted Kendall
Ted,
I suppose that since the advent of the CD as a consumer medium, when remastering shows like the Goons one really can give people the full dynamics as they were originally recorded. My question is whether this is necessarily a good thing. Obviously you are very firm in your view that it always is a good thing. It seems I'm more flexible on this.
The Goon Show is not the 1812 Overture complete with fortissimo's and canon blasts. It's a comedy show. The most important thing is hearing all the voices clearly, following the story and getting all the gags. Big dynamics mitigate against this. Or is there something I have missed here?
Regards Tim
