I, too, am curious about this master.
Howarth supervised the mastering (unless I’m wrong) on the recent Mondo Halloween, and that’s excellent. Halloween III also seemed to be pretty good.
Halloween 4 and II, however, suffer from some weird compression issues, where the low end notes seem to make the rest of the mix duck.
I don’t have the previous H2 pressing (nurse hat) so I don’t know if this is an issue with that, or if it’s a new master issue. But if it’s a recent remaster and POD is too, then I’d be worried.
I do have an original (but kinda beat) POD Varese pressing from when I was a kid, and I have the frosted clear one RI from a few years ago. I haven’t compared them yet, but I’ll order this new one and compare all three and probably sell whichever version(s) I like the least.
