Sam, I agree with a lot of the points you make. However, most of the "alternative" rock music has been recorded in the 90's. It also seems that a healthy portion of 60's music was remastered at the "dawn" of the digital age and hasn't been remastered since. I'm still having to suffer with great titles like The Who: Who's Next - and I don't want to spend $50 for MoFi version. These old CD's just lack life - the warmth, depth and detail just ain't there! Thank God I kept SOME vinyl!
What deserves to be Remastered on CD?
Now I don't mean or want for this to become a digital vs. analogue discussion! I have a modest CD collection, around 300 titles, but all are the "best" recordings available. This being said, I have about a dozen or so CD's that haven't been remastered since I first bought them in the mid-80's! The difference between these early AD remasters and what's been produced in the last few years is astonishing! So lets hear it; what needs to be remastered in your CD collection? Some of my votes would include Peter, Paul & Mary, The Doors, The Who and many others! Too bad Mo-Fi isn't still around, they probably would have gotten to some these by now!
