What is the considered opinion of the experts with regard to vinyl – old and original or new and remastered? I’m thinking of say Led Zeppelin and David Bowie as exemplars but old or new in general.
Am I to be concerned buying a 40 year old copy of say Diamond Dogs for about £40 or £50 via Discogs or would I be better spending £20 on a pristine remastered version from the Rough Trade shop?
Perhaps this is a daft question, but which would sound better, generally speaking? The originals were mastered for turntables as there was nothing else but are the newer versions now optimised (whatever that may mean!) with better technology?
This is a difficult question to answer but I’d appreciate the collective's views.
Thanks.
Rob.
