Ok... realistically, what are the chances that the audio issues of Feel Flows and Sounds of Summer won't be repeated on the CATP/Holland set and that we will see a return to the superior audio quality of previous archive releases?
Personally, I don't have a huge amount of optimism.
After all, Feel Flows sold well, and Sounds of Summer is likely to shift plenty of copies also, and so I'd imagine there will be reluctance to change direction if what is being done is working sales-wise. For whatever reasons, there are clearly people very committed to maintaining this new audio sound.
Having said that, Mark and Alan must surely be aware that many, many fans (of all ages) are hugely disillusioned and unhappy with the treble/compression-heavy sound which has been introduced over the last couple of years. Can that really just be brushed aside again?

Mark, Alan, Howie, take note. A lot of fans currently feel like this young guy:
"The stuff that they did worked perfectly with The Smile Sessions and Sunshine Tomorrow, but now it's just getting too far, and I am super worried. I was waiting so enthusiastically for the upcoming CATP/Holland release, but if the versions of Marcella and You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone on Sounds of Summer are actual cuts from the upcoming box-set then I'm not sure I'm even going to buy it. It's to me such a bummer. They're unlistenable. It's really saddening."

Given the huge shortages and the delay that happened to Feel Flows do to manufacturing, I think its quite likely that the catp and holland set is probably all mixed and mastered and finished already. So, even if they do see the feedback it likely won’t affect that set. Not encouraging but at this point it’s whatever

If you do not think it will be very good, don't expect anything otherwise and ultimately don't buy it if it is not to your liking
