Vinyl Back in Black Review

Elizabeth,

I agree it is a crap shoot on reissues. I think it is harder to find good reissues from the major labels. They either don't have the time or just don't feel it is worth thier time because of the format. Even if it could make them money, the volume is not worth high quality control. Most of the good quality reissues are coming from small labels like AP, MM, CR and a few others. Classic had issues with thier 200g in the past but I picked up some of thier newer Claity releases and they sound good. Also the cost of these releases from the magor labels are less than of the small company's but there are no reviews out there I can find. SO

The question I am asking is, people who have these Back to Black releases and other magor label releases is to give thier experiance with the recording which ones are worth getting or not getting and why.

Mofimadness,
What recordings did you get?

Thanks for your input. By the way as far as Layla and Other Love Songs go's the only desent recording of it is the SuperDisk release. I have a UK, JP and US releases and the SuperDisk beats them all. The new Japanese release of Disreli Gears is good. I think the origial tapes were not that well produced for either of those releases.

The problem with finding older rock album is most of them were not taken care for bunch of differant reasons.
This thread is to try to weed out the desent reissues from the bad. There are so many labels coming out with the same recordings it would be nice to learn which ones are better.
I am sorry to say that the people who purchased the bad one and good one can help others.

I looked at the thread on the www.stevehoffman.tv site . It's full of a lot of good info, mostly bad very little good about these releases.
Thanks

Pops,
As I said at the start of this thread . This question has NOTHING to do with origial pressings only the sound quality of the reissue in question, not is the orininal release best. I do not agree with you either, not all reissues suck and some are better than the original pressing. You think the original channeled stereo where all music is on the left and vocals on the right or the other way around is the way stereo should be done. They sound like crap to me and I would rather listen to them in mono mode. Purchase the Geoge Martins Beatles LOVE album, thats how they should have been done in the 60's.
