- Greg Ladyani is credited as having done the remastering of Jackson
- Browne's ``The Pretender'' album. He is now stuck with explaining how
- the first track got left to run until the tape finished rather than
- being faded. It's quite an impressive mistake...given that he's
- Browne's default engineer and often co-producer.

- I'm moderately convinced that a mess has been made of Springsteen's
- ``Darkness on the Edge of Town'' on CD as well. Leaving aside that
- they didn't take the opportunity to correct the lyrics of ``Streets of
- Fire'', the fade at the end of ``Prove it all Night'' sounds wrong.
- There's appalling noise on ``Racing in the Street'' but that's on the
- vinyl as well...
