RE: Here in lies the problem

"The EMI remasters were done at 96/24 because the remastering team said their was an enormous amount of tape restoration required, and that 96/24 offered the best solution."

The EMI team just needed more and/or faster computers. I've done a fair amount of digital restoration and at the faster sampling rates there is more waiting involved with a slow computer, an annoyance that I would not have experienced with a faster computer. If management cared enough to do the job right they would have paid for adequate tools and/or paid for the engineers while they are having coffee and waiting for a batch to finish processing.

EMI is a big company. They know how to manipulate the press. You can be sure that the engineers or other spokesmen were told what to say. Perhaps a different story will come out years later when some of the people involve retire and their jobs are no longer on the line.
