About the new LSC reissues by Analogue Productions

Well at 30.00 bucks a pop with the possibility some yrs from now the prices doubling on EBay...You might want to load up on them in the hopes of making a fair profit on your investment. The Classic and Chesky reissues of these old war horses should be more than enough to put these recordings to rest?

It's a pretty good bet that one of the reasons Sterling Sound is doing the mastering is that they're the only studio RCA trusts with the original 3 track tapes. The Chesky releases were variable. Some LPs were cut from the original three track masters and others off a safety eg.those mastered by Tim de Paravini.

There was a discussion about them somewhere else and the reactions are mixed. I am not sure but didn't MF wrote they are made from digital copy ? anyway, CR and Chesky had the masters (or the best close to it), CR bought and restored the old Ampex machines and wilkinson was hired to supervise the mastering with his written recording datas. In a way it was as close as possible (Chesky did something different in some of their cuts but that is a different story).
Tapes won't get better over the years, they will have drop outs and a loss of information, mainly in the higher frequencies. No matter what is done, it has to be different. An original is an original, the CR were the closest way to them and others are different. Isn't it great you can choose now between 180fr, 200gr., 200gr flat profile, 45 in 180gr,, 45 in 200gr, and some in white vinyl and now again those from AP..
Overall, that makes any LSC original quite cheap :-)
Original (and in a way CR) are unique, at that time the conductor and Artist did listen to the masterings and said "ok" or "not ok", in a way it is authentic. With the reissues everyone can create whatever he wants. Everything today does not get measured by any standard. Good is whatever one likes ...
