I posted this on another thread but i believe these deserve their own thread.on offer are two unused remasters for the 2007 re-release,which as a collector i find intruiging.i found the guy via searching for "best sounding cds" & came across a forum where they discussed best sounding jd releases.its the steve hoffman forum which is the guy that did the unused remasters.check out this ebay sale: Closer https://www.ebay.de/itm/JOY-DIVISION-2007-Closer-Vinyl-180-Gram-LP-Test-Pressing-UNRELEASED-Hoffman-Gray/382756152462?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 UP https://www.ebay.de/itm/JOY-DIVISION-2007-Unknown-Pleasures-RTI-Test-Pressing-LP-UNRELEASED-Hoffman-Gray/382756152873?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 __________________ .....wish I could remember exactly when and how I obtained it, but that's lost in the mists of time it seems.

Interesting - cheers for posting - so different remasters that didnt see the light of day ? Anyone know why ? Was it the band or the label that pulled them being released ? Any major positives or negative about these Steve Hoffman re-masters ?

My guess is,that the label gave out multiple orders of cuts & then chose which to use.weird is,this for the US label edition only,don't know how the economics work specificaly but.....hey? Am i wrong....but wasn't the talk on the forum about how a batch of the used pressings are off center? __________________ .....wish I could remember exactly when and how I obtained it, but that's lost in the mists of time it seems.

The 2007 US used ones were off center,which in conclusion doesn't mean these are. __________________ .....wish I could remember exactly when and how I obtained it, but that's lost in the mists of time it seems. But I do remember I was happy to get it back then..... -erik-

As a Hoffman remaster - these are like to be the best sounding versions of all time (depending on what tapes he had to work with). Hoffman did do "Love Will Tear Us Apart" for a Razor & Tie compilation CD that was released. Sounds excellent. Cannot imagine that the Hoffman versions weren't up to scratch soundwise. Maybe he was too expensive - or perhaps they just preferred a louder more compressed sound.
