Not everyone is an audiophile junkie,
especially if they don't have a better than average sound system.

If a remaster doesn't have bonus tracks
I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it.

I've been visiting a Bob Dylan discussion site, and pussy after pussy keeps whining about how the (from what I hear & have heard) EXCELLENT new remasters of his classic shit are "such rip-offs" and "why would anyone buy these CDs again?" or "it's just a scam to get our money..." and so on. In other words, the same old tired bullshit that those-who-cannot-handle-change spew forth EVERY time an artist's shit gets remastered.

I can understand the reluctance to spend money. But be honest about your lack of funds, or your unwillingness to spend them! Don't try to pass it off as if the record companies were just faking the remastering, and blindly fleecing the fans. And sure as hell don't try to pull the lousy old "there's no difference...I can't hear a damn thing different at all...blah blah" excuse. Just because your ears are dysfunctional, don't assume that mine are, too!


True, dedicated remastering is fucking great.


Bud, I work in a Wreka Stow - and (ironically) only yesterday there were 2 women in looking thru our big Bob Dylan section (gotta be the biggest section in our store 4 any one artist) and whilst they were browsing thru, they looked at that days new release of a remastered Bob Dylan CD, and the conversation went something like:

"No...im sorry, Im not paying that. No... £14 for a 'record? No...Im not prepared 2 pay that..."

Her friend then showed her the older version that was half the price of the newer, remastered version:

"Oooohhh no - Im not buying that, if its that price it'll be really bad quality!"

I was trying my best not 2 piss myself laughing.

She just didnt have a bloody clue.

U just can't win with some people mate, know what I mean?

The last remastered series I bought was MJ's back catalogue. If you can't hear a difference in sound quality while listening to those then you need to get your head rinsed.


I got those too, tho I thought Dangerous was a little too 'new' to be remastered (In my opinion, anyways)
