New. They're quiet, they're unplayed.
Vintage vinyl or new reissues?
Can someone comment on this subject. Preferably someone who has compared the old with new reissues. For example would a new sealed bob dylan highway 61 revisted, released by columbia always sound better than good reissues? How does one approach this question?
In the context that both the records are clean, mold, warp and scratch free and in like new condition. This thread is not about price but about which, if executed properly, will deliver the best SONIC results. Thanks.

The Sundazed "Times They Are A'Changin'" (Mono) by Bob Dylan is absolutely stellar. I don't have an original release to compare to it, but it's all I could want. If the original vinyl issue was better, it couldn't have been by much. Still, I think the case for originals vs. re-issues takes a heavy back seat to the most basic principle: How much care was taken when recording the music? Well recorded music usually comes across well on the re-issues, too. The second most important re-issue issue, to me, is whether the re-issue was made from analog master tapes, or from digital masters. This one is frustrating because you can't usually find this out, before you buy. Cheers. |
The Fantasy 45 Series of reissues from Analogue Productions (all 45 rpm) is about as close to hearing the original master tapes as I ever expect to get in my lifetime. |
