1st press vinyl vs new vinyl something is terribly wrong here

Yes qdrone, it's how the original performance is doctored by fools who don't know what they're doing.  In the old days musicians played into a couple of microphones recording direct to hi-speed 1 inch reel to reel.  This recording was cut to LP master.  So what was sung was what you got.  Today the microphone signal goes through all sorts of electronic and digital processing before it gets to your CD.  The result may sound nicer, more exciting, more dynamic range than you started with...higher highs, lower lows, whatever.  And so you may like it.  But it ain't the original performance.  That has been lost forever.
