I think it may be the Tim Turan remasters given the release date (2015). But I couldn't say for certain.
Put it this way; it should be!

They're not the Tim Turan remasters (unlike the older set called "5 Original Albums" that had the 2005/2006 remasters of Hello!, OTL, BFY and ITAN with all their bonus tracks plus a non-remastered 12 Gold Bars). I remember a discussion about this set somewhere but I'll be damned if I can find it now.

I've taken a look at the Dynamic Range Database dr.loudness-war.info/album/list/9/year/asc?artist=Status%20Quo to see whether they are the same mastering as the Andy Pearce deluxe editions. Surprisingly, they don't seem to be: Piledriver has more dynamic range than the deluxe edition. Hello! has slightly less dynamic range than the deluxe edition but more than the 2005 remaster. Quo has less dynamic range than the deluxe edition but still more than the 2005 remaster. On the Level has more dynamic range than both deluxe edition and 2005 remaster. Blue for You has very close values but different enough to not be the same mastering as the deluxe edition. Of course that doesn't allow any conclusions about EQ and other sound characteristics, but from the looks of it, they should be fine. I wouldn't be surprised if they're taken from the same tape transfers as the Pearce versions but with different "tweaks". |

Piledriver, Hello! and On The Level are the same as the 1991 releases, although slightly peak limited (barely, though). Stereo image is a bit wider, but it's not noticeable, really. Note, it's the 1991 releases; not the 1990 releases for On The Level (also on Vertigo) and Piledriver (on Repertoire). Quo and Blue For You are similar to the Tim Turan remasters, but seem resampled or something. Stereo image also seems a bit wider. I need to compare these again. |

No idea about sound quality but worth getting simply because there are no bonus tracks!! In my old car I hated having to quickly remember to switch off after Slow Train! Nothing against Lonely Night but I don’t want it there! 😡 The album should finish where it’s supposed to!!!! 😁 Same with Joanne…..
