Do all remastered vocals in vinyl albums have been 'corrected" with auto tune?

Hello.

A few months ago, I switched to  vinyl albums from CD`s and streaming. After listening to quite a few remastered records, seems to me , IMHO, that a vast majority of  the vocals have been modified/enhanced with auto tune and pitch correction. There does not seem to be a false note, at all, even in live recordings.

Hence my question: are there albums that have been remastered , and vocals not altered in any form, so the authenticity of the artist music has been reproduced?

If so, where would I find these?

I listen to classic rock, classic music, opera and blues.

Thank you for reading.

I would compare an original release to the "remastered" version and that should help to answer that question.

I will say that, back in the day, vocalists couldn't necessarily rely on electronics to enhance/fix their vocals, whether that was during live performances or in the studio. This forced them to train their voices and to also sing with their natural voice.

A good illustration of this is the "Live at the BBC" series from the early 70's.

Check out Elton John, Neil Young, James Taylor or Joni Mitchell. It is amazing how the vocals are every bit as precise as the albums.
