Eddie doesn't overpower everything. There are places where it's a bit sloppy, but it does make each song sound fresh and new. Worth a listen for the rediscovery.
The spotify ap (at least the free one) is almost impossible to use on my phone, and the desktop keeps cutting in live versions of these songs. I need someone to just rip all these songs to make my life easier.

im starting to pick up on the difference here.
Am i wrong in thinking some of this feels less....."loud wars" and a bit more dialed back?

I don't think there's anything to suggest Backspacer has been remastered yet, I don't know where that idea came from.
I just A/B'd the Spotify version of GSMF and it sounds exactly the same as the original.

In trying to record the stream, which I managed to successfully work out how to do, it became apparent that, no matter how I access the desktop version, it's always the old, bad master that seems to play - I've only been able to access the new master via the mobile app, which I can't record.
What's even worse is that, in my attempts to make this work, songs I was playing on the desktop version kept syncing to my phone (ie. I'd hit play on the desktop site but the song would start playing through my phone instead) and it appears somehow the old version has replaced the new master on my phone now too and I can't get rid of it, even after signing out, reinstalling the app, etc. Fuck Spotify, this is why I prefer CDs/downloads.
It could even be that Spotify have realised the error and withdrawn the new master, I'd be interested if anyone else is still able to access it.

I read that Spotify Premium saves tracks on your computer when you play them, so if you have the old versions it will play them instead of the new ones that recently went online. Apparently you can fix this by clearing the Spotify cache (not that I know how to do that).
I just checked and I still have access to the 'Spotify mix' so all good - I'll sign up for a trial premium account over the weekend and see if I can rip them
