The worst recorded GBV track is ‘deyton ohio, Nineteen something and five’. Such a great song and a real break from their usual lyrical sytle, but the drum machine does not work for me. Wish Bob had done it with the full band

Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper. Great song, dreadful production.

Always think Neon Bible (album) sounded really muddy. Especially compared with the great production on Funeral. Suburbs was pretty good production wise too, if lacking in actual tunage.

Almost posted Motorcycle Emptiness myself. Obviously it’s a beloved track now, but that’s mostly hindsight - it would definitely have been so much better with real drums.

Sean is still annoyed about it:

Listen to the live stuff on How The West Was Won by Led Zep

Then listen to The Ocean, Dancing Days, Over The Hills And Far Away and as @ericVI says, No Quarter on Houses Of The Holy

Page is always mentioned as a great producer but the studio versions of those songs are absolutely fucking shite

Never noticed this, always thought the opposite. Neon Bible sounds louder to me. Was disappointed at the time that they’d put the vocals really up front instead of nicely buried in the mix like before

Yeah, never did get my head round that one. I almost took the CD back thinking there was a problem with the disc.

All of of Husker Du’s catalogue sounds awful and the 80s CD mastering doesn’t help.

The whole catalogue needs a radical overhaul…remixing and remastering.
