"Transferred from original analogue master tapes"


Does the title mean 100% analogue cut from the original analogue master tapes, or is this some kinda cryptic marketing phrase? Found it on this LP I just bought...

If it doesn't say analogue mastering, it is probably digital mastering from analogue tapes.

"Transferred from original analogue master tapes"

Typically means they pulled the original analogue tapes out of archives or storage, then used an ATR to transfer them to digital (usually a hard drive). All work was then performed in the digital domain.

This says the original master tapes were used. The better remasters use the original analogue source tapes; ie, Jimmy Page and the LZ remasters.

 

Sound impressive on the cover, now how does it sound to you? Nothing else matter unless they are going NUTS on the price..

There is a point where analog is good enough. I listen to 78s still. LOL
