"The Wall" vinyl remaster 2011

[nbaptista]

This 2011 vinyl remaster "The Wall" is a cut from the analogue master?I can buy a second hand original vinyl portuguese edition for 35€ in very good condition or buy a new 2011 remaster edition for 20€. What is the best choice?

I thought the remaster was very good

Be surprised if you can’t pick up an original for less than £20 to compare

35€ is a bit pricey, indeed, for a second hand vinyl...

I bought a sealed copy of the Bernie Grundman remaster last year for £8 because the cover was bent I opened it up when a friend who is a big Floyd fan was staying a couple of weeks back and it sounded very average indeed.

Just pick up The Wall in HMV or Amazon etc, this release sounds fantastic.

this release sounds fantastic.

2011 or 2016 ?

 

[Sgt pepper]

2016

 

[nbaptista]

So the 2016 remaster is better than the 2011. But what about the 1979 original, should I go for the 2016 remaster or the original scond hand?

I´m buying the 2016 remaster by Bernie. Thursday is here, the vinyl!

It's really down to what you can afford. I have the 2016 release and it sounds great IMO.

I have read that the 2011 remaster the sound was too low, you have to turn up the amplifier volume, I guess the 2016 doesn´t have that problema, no?

 

[Sgt pepper]

Not as far as I can tell.

 

[nbaptista]

Great, so I did the right choice with the 2016 remaster!

 

[Farthings cat]

You certainly did

The álbum arrived today. It is great, but I have to crank up the volume to hear it right!
