Your theory doesnt hold up in this case. the LP in question was
mastered by Bernie Grundman who has stated that there was no EQ
applied to this title when he cut it. The bass was cut flat. In fact
the original LPs were also cut the same way. No mastering moves
whatsoever. They were cut straight from the three track masters
through a console that folded them down to stereo. that is it. No
compression, no EQ no limiters. Nothing extra in the mastering chain.
Bernie cut the Classics version exactly the same way. The only
difference was he used his cutting lathe and cut them at 45 rpm. He
even used the same playback gear that was refurbished for the Dennis
Drake CD remasters. Oh and he used a tube cutting amp.


What part did Wilma Fine have in all of this? I've read where this Firebird
recording on Classic Records was the last thing she did before she died...
