Vintage vinyl or new reissues?

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.

I bet but would not spend the bucks to find out that the expensive 45rpm sets beat the crap out of the originals.

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.

Enjoy it, Albert! I think the "Times They Are A'Changin'" mono reissue from Sundazed is even better. Choose for the music you like. I've enjoyed all of them.

I'm with Pops. Very few, including the 45RPM reissues, are as nice as the originals.

I have about 3 dozen reissues and for the most part it was money I could have spent more wisely.
