Christmas With ReviewLike everyone else who has contributed an Amazon.com review for this title, I grew up listening to the vinyl version of CHRISTMAS WITH CHET ATKINS. I waited for years to see it released on CD, and was bitterly disappointed when it was because the CD version is mastered at the wrong speed! It is noticeably slower than the vinyl version, and the pitch of some tracks actually waver mid-song. Listen to the beginning of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" and you will hear the pitch of the guitar rise after the first 5 seconds or so. I called Razor and Tie to tell them about this bad mastering, and they completely blew me off. But as a guitarist with an extremely sensitive ear (my main guitar is a vintage Gretsch similar to the one on the cover of the album's original vinyl release) the CD drives me nuts if I listen too closely to it! I still give the CD 2 stars just because it's better than not having this classic album on disc at all. But I hope one of these days a properly mastered version of it is released -- Chet deserves much better!
November 2004 -- I am revisiting this review because I wanted to comment on the content found in the "SO MUCH FOR GOLDEN EARS" review. With all due respect to the gentleman who wrote this review, the sonic flaws found on this CD are most certainly NOT a result of audio effects that Chet intended to be on the original record. As I mentioned above, the pitch wavers right in the middle of certain tracks, sometimes for just a moment, sometimes for considerably longer. One only needs to compare the vinyl version of the album to the CD to hear that these flaws are not at all present on the album as it was originally released -- the CD is improperly mastered, period!
