@savroof9849,
I just wish that the U2’s Joshua Tree album, I’m not joking, sounded as good, cymbal crashes/drum wise, as the YouTube official video of “The Streets have no name”. Don’t understand that at all. Could a German CD copy of the CD album sound better??
This has sometimes puzzled me too on those occasions when the online one sounds better than my CD one.
I put it down to different masterings used by various pressing plants.
Mastering matters and sometimes the YouTuber may have uploaded a superior one.
As for the Joshua Tree, well Daniel Lanois was known for that muddy sound.
Some folks feel the same about his work with Dylan but I like it, and U2 must have wanted it too.
It’s certainly a far cry from the ultra clean sterile work provided by Steve Lillywhite on their earlier LPs.
Maybe the best version of JT is the mfsl one.
I like it and it compares well with my brother’s original 87 UK LP.
