The Complete Hits of Tommy Edwards

~ Release by Tommy Edwards (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

Two different masters of this release exist. The first was done by Suha Gur at Polygram Special Products, while the 2010 remaster was done by Tom Daly (me) and Mark Mathews at Skyline Mastering. The way to tell which one you have is to listen to the stereo title track. If the vocal is awash in reverb, you have the first issue. If the vocal has "normal" reverb, it's the remastered issue. The mono 45 single had NO reverb on the vocal at all!
