What occurs to me as I’m sitting here listening to “Monk: Straight No Chaser” is that a LOT of recordings we are listening to today can never be re-released or remastered. The ONLY way to make new versions/re-releases is to use copies...
It got me to consider upping my music budget and buying everything I can made either from the original master or recently remastered.
