Pat Metheny Group Lyle Mays / West Germany 03.13.1978 Remastered

This is a renowned live recording from the early days of the Pat Metheny Group. The sound quality is excellent, and it’s a famous Bremen performance that has spawned many other titles. This 2026 remaster has been added to our label’s archive, but to be frank, there aren’t significant changes that would warrant recommending an upgrade for those who already own this recording. The remastering focuses on boosting the high frequencies and slightly reducing mid-range reverberation, resulting in a brighter sound without being harsh. Furthermore, an effect has been applied to widen the soundstage. Chapters have also been added to allow jumping to the beginning of each track, “UNITY VILLAGE – MISSOURI UNCOMPROMISE – MEAN TIME” (of course, no silent sections have been added). This is a recommended item for those who don’t yet own this performance, especially beginners. If you’re buying a collector’s edition of the Metheny Group’s recordings, this is the one to start with.
