The Pretenders CDS!!!

The Beatles-White Album

Paul McCartney- McCartney

The Beatles- Revolver

The Beatles- Magical Mystery Tour

since the music scene today either sucks or is made up of samples why not just remaster everything before 90 and stop releasing new music... til we find people who make good new music

So...does anyone know if any of these have been remastered? I don't think so, or we'd all heard by now. I think the White Lbum musta been a special ed or something.

superspaceboy said:

yah, it was limited edition...i believe they were all numbered and stamped, if memory serves...i think it came out winter of 1999?

Pylon, anyone????.....

Talking Heads? Who's Talking Heads? That's a funny name. They probably suck.

I'd like PJ Harvey's Dry remastered.

George Michael's Faith and Listen Without Prejudice Vol.1 also need remastering.

Dry needs it the worst out of any of her albums

Anxiety said:

Shit. I had no idea.

GangstaFam said:

i haven't seen it since i bought it as a gift a few years back...it was nice. it came in packaging that was a miniature version of the original album release...gatefold sleeve with inserts and posters and photographs, and it all slid into a sturdy clear plastic sleeve. it was really spiffy.

remastering is mostly bullshit on CD.

nothing sounds as good as the original vinyl.

I disagree.

Janet - The Velvet Rope (1997)
Janet - janet. (1993)
Janet - Control (1986)
Janet - Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989)

vinyl has its own limitations.

GrayKing said:

such as?

mrdespues said:

scratches, pops, crackles, hum, fragility, and impracticality for today's music listening.

GrayKing said:

not to mention phase shift, limited frequency response, noise, distortion, etc

GrayKing said:

hey man, if that's the issue with your record player, too bad. as for me, analog is always preferable because human beings are analog creatures. digital will never compare. i can handle a few crackles every now and then if it means i get a much richer sound.

mrdespues said:

i'm sure you drive around with a turn table strapped to the dashboard of your car, don't you? l:

so be it. i just think it's funny that people insist that vinyl is suprior to CD. that may have been the case until the mid-90's, but considering most music is now recorded digitally, people who insist on vinyl are just not being logical.

vinyl is the the CD of its' day: a convenient, cheap piece of shit to mass produce record music on, with many limitations.

dude, i have way more cds than i do vinyl, and of course cds are more portable. but when it comes down to the best reproduction of music, most so-called audiophiles will tell you time and again that vinyl still cannot be beat. there is more dynamic range, for starters. cd sounds tinny in comparison. i mean, i don't totally hate cd though, because i threw out ALL of my tapes a while ago...but i will never throw out my vinyl cause i KNOW they sound better and will last longer than my cds.

c ya.

mrdespues said:

I think the aphorism, "We are most comfortable with what we're used to" applies. People who grew up on vinyl are more likely to like vinyl than people who grew up on CDs. Most fastidious audiophiles I know certainly did. Personally, I would take a remastered CD over vinyl any day (and believe me, I've compared quite a few). Vinyl has a certain warmth and organic quality to it, but if the mastering is done properly, there is just no comparing a CD source with a vinyl source, IMHO.

Wait until you can get a portable and affordable SACD or DVD-Audio player.

I deal with quite a few staunch analog audiophile types that, until the availability of SACD/DVD-A titles and hardware,
wouldn't go ditigal if their lives depended on it. These higher resolution disc formats are starting to change that.

i grew up with tapes and cds. i started buying vinyl about 2 years ago and i maintain that it is louder, brighter (though not tinny bright like cd) and at the same time warmer. it is a FACT that it has a wider dynamic range, as does tape. the only medium i find preferable is DVD audio. yes, i can tell the difference.

Oww, that hurt.

I love the sound of certain records when I listen to them on vinyl.
