The Doobies acetate is priceless - but only has a limited plays (30) due to the soft material so I rarely play it. It was interesting to watch the acetate being cut using a Japanese 10watt/channel 300B SET amplifier,
During that visit, hearing the master tape playback was amazing...and I thought I had a really great system. I’ve also heard Sinatra master tapes - easily the best, most lifelike sound I’ve ever heard.
Having my website listed in the mastering credits is really cool...and forever. My website is listed on 6 remastered projects by my friend - Rod Stewart, Peggy Lee, Searchers (UK), Eva Cassidy, Doobies and another that for the life of me I can’t recall.
As a final aside, my friend has gifted me so many CDRs burned direct from the master tapes - some are “dry” before the reverb was added for the commercial release. Some have studio chatter that was not on the commercial release.

Okay, I was jealous before.
Your reply makes me officially “going to burn in hell” jealous. ; )
Seriously, discussions like these make this the best site on the net.
