1st press vinyl vs new vinyl something is terribly wrong here

Sam,

Concerning your third paragraph above:

You are exactly right.

Enjoy the Music!

Well a lot of it is just all digital nowadays.

In the old days musicians played into a couple of microphones recording direct to hi-speed 1 inch reel to reel. This recording was cut to LP master. So what was sung was what you got. Today the microphone signal goes through all sorts of electronic and digital processing before it gets to your CD. The result may sound nicer, more exciting, more dynamic range than you started with...higher highs, lower lows, whatever. And so you may like it. But it ain't the original performance. That has been lost forever.
I'm all for it if the music sounds better and so are the original artists. Ian Andersen had some nice things to say about Steven Wilson's re masters and  I'm sure an original artist has no problem with royalty checks rolling in as their catalogs are re explored.  Jimmy Page,Pink Floyd and other artists go back to the original masters to cull better Sonics from their recordings through today's advancements in recording techniques. More power to them.
