Joshua Tree


Turned out the lights and wanted to enjoy one of my favorite all time CD's Joshua Tree..aarrrgh! Time to update the one 1 bought in 1987, cant take the quality of the recording. Browsed thru amazon and saw the Gold Original Master Recording starting at 195.00!!!, up to 350.00 for a new one. I love this CD and am crazy enough to shell out the dough but is it a big improvement over the original release? Are there any other versions similar to the Master but cost less? Thanks!

Shardone makes some good points but I have to disagree with the theory of seeking out and listening to music based on what is recorded well. I mean if this was the norm, we would all be listening to Dire Straights, Patricia Barbara, and god knows who else all the time. I cannot think of anything more lame or painful.

Sometimes you just have to meet the music halfway as it is not recorded perfectly. I mean I would love to see the U2 stuff re-mastered as well but change my musical tastes because it may sound thin due to age, come on.. Music is paramount, not the recording quality.
