"It's sad that the music industry is so thin on new talent that they have to resort to endless reissues of material that most music lovers and collectors already have in spades. The Beatles, Pink Floyd, now the Doors-who's next?
I question the improvement in fidelity. Even the artists are surprised that their material is being remastered. I have to agree with Audiofeil that it's all about the money."
Agree that the industry is thin on new talent, and we do see more reissued material from bands like you mentioned.
As far as improvement in fidelity, I will just comment with regard to vinyl. As I said, I would like to check out at least one of these releases. Especially since they will be 45rpm. If Tan label 1st presses were a bit more common, I may be less excited about the prospect of an all analog 45 reissue. I have only found one nice quiet tan label of a Doors album, which is the first S/T one. If the new
45's end up to be better than my Red or green Butterfly label second/third pressings, they will be worth it for me.
