Recently I was going through my CD library and stumbled across Dark Side Of The Moon. Realizing that I had not listened to it in decades, yes decades, I fired up the ol' stereo and sat back for a listen down memory lane.
How about awful? All caps - AWFUL!!!
I sauntered over to the rack just to make sure something wasn't amiss. There wasn't.
Turns out that it was one of the first discs I added to my collection, mirroring my vinyl collection back in the day.
I then dug out my vinyl version and...hiss. Pop. Click. Wow - they were still there and I didn't care! In the same exact spots where I remembered they were!
Subsequently I purchased a remastered disc version and all is well on all fronts.
Lesson learned? Many of the early compact disc releases were poorly produced in haste to nourish the beast.
I likes vinyl. I likes the compact disc.
Achieving optimum resolution from either format runs into some considerable financials either way so...spend where you feel most comfortable AND what you will use the most!
