    Sound quality compared
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 14, 2015*

I made a large New Orleans music mix including about 25 Fats Domino songs, and as a Boy Scout merit badge project decided to carefully compare and report on the sound quality from four popular sources.My main discovery is that the mixing/mastering makes a dramatic difference – the same songs can sound like very different recordings.Capitol's 2002 
  
Greatest Hits: Walking To New Orleans







  
  
     has by far the most “enhanced” sound; some may like it.  A ton of reverb was added to the vocal making it much fuller and fatter (no pun intended); the vocal is mixed way up front.  The bass is greatly boosted making those hits really bounce.  The trouble is much of the music from the supporting instruments is lost behind the resulting rumble.  Probably a lot of people hear improved sound overall as they love the richer vocal.  But if you compare less doctored versions, you realize how much has been muddied-out.  There were just two tracks where I thought the Greatest Hits remastering worked out for the very best:  “Poor Me” and “Walking to New Orleans.”The large, 1993 Bear Family set 
  
Out of New Orleans







  
  
     proved to be a surprise disappointment given its high praise.  It is very clear & dry (little reverb), often a good thing.  You can really hear the drum cymbals more distinctly than any other remastering.  Sometimes the saxes come through more clearly and distinctly than the other mixes.  But they practically lost the bass.  Even Fats' left hand on the piano is less audible than it should be. I thought the problem might just be headphone listening, but even large speakers didn't work, and boosting the bass far up didn't sound good.  I call this remastering awful.  Not totally sure why, but much of the feel of the music is missing.  As others have noted, they also kept the sped-up versions of some old 45 releases. Listen to “I'm Ready” for instance.  Not quite Alvin & the Chipmunks, but that is not Fats' natural voice.Capitol's 1993 4-CD box 
  
They Call Me the Fat Man... "Antoine "Fats" Domino: The Legendary Imperial Recordings







  
  
     proved to be the clear winner for me on nearly all tracks.  They did a wonderful job balancing the vocal/instrumental mix.  The instruments are distinct enough, the vocal sounds natural.  They didn't do any of that tempting noise filtering on the early 50s stuff which can so suck the life out of music.  Great job, knob turners.Finally, I couldn't resist testing a volume of Ace Records' series, as they really brag-up their remastering.  I went with the earlyish 
  
Imperial Singles 2: 1953-56







  
  
     because it was available cheaply, and Ace is offering strictly mono singles.  (I prefer the stereo LP versions from post '58 found on other sets.)  The Ace sound quality is excellent.  To my ears, the mixing and remastering is mostly indistinguishable from what Capitol did; it was done with the same sensibility.  Ace mastered at a somewhat louder level, which companies started doing in the later 1990s, theoretically to maximize dynamic range.  This range doesn't matter for music recorded in the 50s & 60s.  At least for Ace Volume 2, I call the sound from the Capitol Box and Ace to be of exactly equal quality.Consider buying the venerable 4-CD Capitol box rather than a more recent “improved sound” collection.  You can choose your own greatest hits, and a used copy is reasonably priced.  You'll get authentic music and balanced sound.  If you want 150+ of Fats' Imperial recordings in connoisseur-approved mono mixes, you're probably already buying the five volumes from Ace. The Bear Family collection has even more tracks.  It is mercifully out of print.

    All of Fats' Hits
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 3, 2020*

All of the Fats' hits plus others that he recorded during these years. Blueberry Hill, Walking to New Orleans, Ain't That A Shame, I'm Walkin' among others.I haven't played them yet but look forward to it. Worth getting at a great price.
