Now, 50 years later, each track has been completely remixed from scratch to reflect how Neuwirth had long intended the collection to sound. Engineer John Hanlon reworked each track from new high-resolution/audiophile-quality digital transfers of the original 16- and 24-track analog tapes, bringing new power, clarity and presence to the recorded performances. It's the upshot of a conversation Neuwirth began with Hanlon years ago.
"Bob asked me 'Have you heard my first record? Would you listen to it and tell me what you think?'" says Hanlon. "I knew I'd get a great sound out of it. I would just approach it differently. I never tried to match what was originally there, because that was in 1974," Hanlon said, adding that he was never given any specific directives by Neuwirth in regard to a remix before he died May 18, 2022 at age 82. The only thing he told Hanlon, the engineer recalled, was "'Hey man, I know your work, OK? That's all I need to say. I know your work and you know my work.' So, I just approached it really organically and I just made it sound like great rock 'n' roll."
