I remember when Tom Waits’ Real Gone was remastered and as much as I dig it. The added clarity (not sure that’s the right term) is jarring and frankly the changes to “Hoist That Rag” are unforgivable. Sending the guitar solo to the background (if it’s even still there at all), to bring a trombone to the front? That was a horrible decision that frankly kind of ruins one of Waits’ best songs for me.
I’ll listen to the Time Out of Mind remaster but I too have no problem whatsoever with the original and I’ve never considered complaining about it.
