"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...

I suggest you read the reviews  here. First 2 speak of "substandard" sound. I also like funk. I also like R&B from the 60's & early 70's. But Phil Spector's Wall of sound prohibits it from sounding good. Oh well. I may peruse that site to look for some good funk. Thanks for the thread

@artemus_5 Thanks. FYI, I read those Amazon reviews. The one detailed review mentions near the end that he's listening to the CDs...

One label that produces some great sounding funky LPs is Daptone. Start with Daptone Gold comp. or some Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings. Cheers,

Daptone Records built their own all analog studio to get a specific sound for their artists.  They didn't even use digital reverbs and instead went with spring and plate units.  Here's a short video about the studio by one of the label's founders explaining their philosophy and work methods.

i caught Sharon at a tobacco warehouse in Charleston, she ruled that place for hours….

 

I believe that it needs to say cut from the original master tapes to be all analog. Anything else could mean a digital transfer from the tape.
