Unmixed
I took back to the shop the OM compilation CD "reMIXED". I was happy to get on CD some tracks only available on vinyl before, but to my surprise, the tracks are mixed (no note on the CD stating that, the press release saying: all full original 12" mixes). I do not like mixed CDs. I just want to hear the whole track, from the first note to the last. Am I the only one?
I even see record companies apologising for not mixing their compilation CDs! For example, read the notes on the End 50 label compilation CD or the press release of the Frerange label compilation "Yellow". It looks like the CDs are better sold when mixed.
