I have many first release and japanese pressings from the late seventies only played once straight to nak cassette back in the day
Most remasters don't hold a handle
In jazz blue note, riverside, prestige and impulse have been great
Classic records is hit or miss
I've bought quadrophenia twice and both were horrific - totally congested mess
The latest beatles remasters are as if you put a wet blanket over the proceedings. People swear by them, but probably haven't heard a uk original, german import, or the 1978 bluebox
It's hit or miss and worse no-fill and odd residues, fingerprints, in the old days it was just crackles from impure vinyl
