Re: Should they remix \

If BB '85 had been recorded on tape and only mixed digitally (as many 80s albums were, including some of McCartney's), then a remix could be done and an "all analog" sound could be achieved. (They did this with McCartney's "Tug of War", with mixed results; the remix was warmer, but also kind of weird).

But the '85 album was a digital recording. A remix could perhaps sort of reintroduce some warmth I suppose with the right equipment (sort of like adding hiss back to tape, or artificial grain back to film), but it's always going to have that sort of sterile sound because everything was recorded straight to digital.

I think sonically the '85 album sounds fine in terms of mixing and mastering. You'd have to do more than remix to get rid of that "80s sound." The intro to "Crack at Your Love" is never *not* going to sound like 80s cheese unless you actually re-record it.

Listen to "Summer in Paradise" from 1992, and you'll find that the '85 album sound quite warm in comparison.

I'm all for an expanded '85 album with outtakes and alternate mixes (a bunch of rough mixes from the album float around), and some vocals-only mixes and things like that on some songs would be great. But just a standard "remix" re-balancing the instruments in some minor way wouldn't yield much in my opinion.
