no, i personally wouldnt b interested... i dont see the point: imo if a tune is worth mastering its worth really mastering, if not then it aint worth bothering with at all. not even a polish, not even at a low price.

not sure about the other issues u got (may be more about personal taste, which is normal) but as far as the engineer boosting the top end goes this actually makes quite a bit of sense 2me as vinyl doesnt reproduce hi frequencies in the same way as a cd does (vinyl seems to eat them) and so maybe to ...

whether they are good or not is personal taste

come on now, be honest, that track didnt just "end up" sounding like burial cos u banged on some pots and pans, it sounds like burial cos u went out of your way to make it sound like burial. and you succeeded. a little too much.
