The sound may be wanting but I do not trust Henry Fogel in this matter. He consistently extols the Pristine releases.

Yes, Henry Fogel is a wonderful advocate for many things we are interested in, but….he has no clue about remastering quality. And IMHO, if you prefer Pristine’s very-processed and scrubbed interventionism (imho) you are not going to be receptive to more honest representations of the original recordings . I don’t know how to say it more diplomatically.
