Original Issue Vs Reissue Vinyl

I ve heard that most of these reissues are copied directly from a digital recording or a cd and the sound quality is not the best.

Original issue vs reissue vinyl.

Purchased a new copy of cosmos factory lately. That said many factors help determine whether you ve purchased a good or bad pressing of a record. You will need to match the catalog number year of release exact artwork colors and liner notes if available. Depends on the genre and release year and stuff like that too.

Reissues is a recurrent topic among vinyl junkies. A looser term reissue applies to a wider variety of releases. If the original is more than that then i will look at the reissue. I d like to know your thoughts about original vs reissue in terms of sound quality.

When verifying the pressings of your record collection match all the information on the sleeve with the original pressing. Although i do prefer to get the best master so if there is a reissue with fairly better mastering i ll get that or vice versa. Normally a reissue shows variances from the original including the sourcing of masters country of origin packaging and even format.

I prefer original up until about 25. A quality reissue can offer a great alternative to owning a scratchy original or spending big money on something scarce. Found an old record that looks and feels new. This is a comparison between a 2008 remastered issue of ride the lightning and a 1986 original issue of master of puppets.

But the 25 rule holds pretty steady.
