That's the wackest bunch of wackness that ever wacked.

The original source isn't what makes it a novelty. The novelty is in the medium itself, and is not inherently a bad thing. Records are fun: it's fun to watch them spin; it's fun to listen to the cracks and pops; it's fun to look at the big artwork. When you buy a newly pressed record, that's what you're buying, not some mystical analog magic sound. That's the reason it's silly to quibble over whether or not the reprint was mastered from a digital source or the original analog tapes: it's secondary to the current purpose of a vinyl record.Moloc wrote:How is it a "novelty" if it's pressed from the original tapes?melkor wrote:Please.

Melkor that is straight up the wackest shit I've ever heard.
"BIG PICTURES, WATCH IT SPIN, LOLOLOL" is how that sounds and is completely incorrect. You buy records because records sound better, not that thats why everyone does, but that SHOULD be why- they sound better. they've ALWAYS sounded better, and all this "quibbling" is because they should CONTINUE to sound better, always. But if I am wrong then I suppose mastering for vinyl is a complete myth perpetrated by sound studios to make an extra buck and everyone should stop... pfff. denying the superior sound is willful ignorance or the ramblings of someone with a shitty record player

I cant say myself about this.
But of course......
<Insert old and super famous band name>'s album re-released on Double LP (pressed for 45rpms). Same Album, same tracks, same great taste. Double the vinyl and kick up the speed.
Of course, pay twice the amount for it instead of getting a normal for 33rpms from Ebay or Discogs.
or am I just belly aching here?

AMAZING NEW 8-Track VERSION OF ACU!!! AVAILABLE NOW!!! We found the only place in the US who makes 8-tracks and we had to do it. Vinyl is awesome and we will be doing it again, cassette's are coming back strong, but were never our thing, but the 8-track is the jam! Enjoy Hi-Fi like you've not had since '78. Limited Edition 500 unit run. Get them while you can, they're going fast! NOW SOLD OUT

Apparently, the preorder starts tomorrow.
Although lame, I can understand where Earache is coming from. I've listened purchased CD's of records that I listened to a lot when I was a kid, and they just didn't sound right. Peace Sells ... is prime example. And then, the CD might sound the same, but there is added stuff. Like "Choir of the Damned" on Pleasure to Kill: none of that arpeggiated stuff is on my old vinyl, and the first time I tossed the CD in, I was all, "WTF is this?!" And, that final "good bye" in Fade to Black has always annoyed the hell out of me, because it isn't on my record.
But to some extent, the bands must have intended it that way and the versions I listened to growing up were not part o the bands original vision.
I can't say that I have ever been a major proponent of authorial intent. Mostly, I just see it as someone fucking with the songs I love.
