Insofar as they might "wobble" less on a turntable, perhaps. But I can't imagine that, outside of that, they sound better in any way that's actually audible to humans.

Um no apperently you read that wrong I destroyed them, not Prince telling me to did I say that Prince told me to? NO! I said I destroyed them.the reason are my own and should not have to tell you or anyone else why. Perhaps reading posts a bit more slowly will help you understand better

toots said:

I didn't ask for an explanation. I don't give a shit why you destroyed them.

You followed a sentence about destroying your records with a sentence that intimated that Prince might want such a thing. I don't think my question was that big a leap.

Perhaps writing your posts a bit more coherently will help others understand better.

Genesia said:

But yet you were asking the question above. Now THAT is funny

My post wasnt incoherent. YOU made the assumption of me destroying my records cause Prince told me to or you would of not typed/asked that question. Therefore, I answered you question. Apperently YOU "give a shit" or"wanted a explaination" you would not of replied to my responce. If it wasnt that "big of a leap" WHY bother to even me ask such a question?

Maybe you should not jump to conclusions with ones post

Sweetie...you need to look up term "rhetorical question."

Genesia said:

Why are you trying to start a fight or insult me? I answered your question and wasnt trying to be rude to you. Apperently YOU are being rude to me, WHY? Cuase I answered your question with honesty or because I was to the point?

Dont call me "sweetie" I hate pet names.

BTW I KNOW what a rhetorical quesion is thanks!

The grooves are deeper and less prone to physical damage. Some say that 180 gram records sound better but I think that depends on the mastering more than the weight of the vinyl.
For example there are available 180 gram pressings of Beatles albums but since those are sourced from the same digital masters that they used to make the Beatles CDs in the 1980s I'm a bit sceptical about the sound quality of those. I think getting the best available sources and a good mastering engineer is what counts when a label is trying to make a good sounding reissue.
Based on the reviews I've seen of vinyl reissues credited to Kevin Gray and also based on the fact that he's using the original master mixes I think this will be a high quality release.

Wha? What are you saying? Are YOU Kevin Gray or something?


This is the best Prince news in a Long time. That Purple Rain CD sounds like SHIT fidelity wise. My Vinyl copy of Purple Rain is quite Worn since I've had it since I was 14 and played it to death as a teenager.

Audiophile remastering from the source tapes? That just RULES!!!

Ordered.

As far as I know, the purple vinyl was in the overseas market. I have it on purple vinyl from France and the UK.

vainandy said:

Oh,I already have the 1984 pressing on vinyl But I want a fresh copy and this is the closest we may get to an actual remaster,lol.

When I go on my vinyl digs,I see alot of sealed records with a "180 gram" sticker on the cover.They're usually a little more expensive than regular vinyl.I have a Jamiroquai album in this format.

Graycap23 said:

I would imagine so. I've seen many artist rerelease older albums on 180 grm. I have to assume it should sound as good if not better.

In my experience they do sound better. However, it's also about wearing better. They are thicker and thus less likely to warp, the groves are deeper and thus less likely to skip.
