Ry Cooder- Bop till you Drop-1979 ."The album was the first digitally recorded major-label album in popular music. Bop Till You Drop was recorded on a digital 32-track machine built by 3M." So if your looking for something devoid of any digital type influence, buy something before the issue date of this record. I've bought a few of the so called 'remasters'....DSOTM being one of them. I can certainly tell the difference between the original.... I recall someone saying on some forum that these new 'remasters' lack the 'high end sparkle'....I agree 100%. Even my 64 year old ears can still tell the difference.
Old vs. new
I have a simple(maybe?) question for you guys, I have some new versions of albums that I’ve replaced from older vintage records that I’ve had thinking they would sound better than my older ones, but they don’t, since vinyl has made a comeback , we’re the older versions engineered and mixed for vinyl and now the new recordings not mixed to favor vinyls characteristics?
