Original Issue Vs Reissue Vinyl

Different albums so the comparison isn t direct but you get the idea.

Original issue vs reissue vinyl.

Speak spell sony music legacy 2016 180gram vinyl vs original mute records stumm5 1981. Purchased a new copy of cosmos factory lately. Depends on the genre and release year and stuff like that too. 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.

A quality reissue can offer a great alternative to owning a scratchy original or spending big money on something scarce. When verifying the pressings of your record collection match all the information on the sleeve with the original pressing. Normally a reissue shows variances from the original including the sourcing of masters country of origin packaging and even format. For me this edition at 180 grams is pretty good maybe better than the original but the problem of this.

You will need to match the catalog number year of release exact artwork colors and liner notes if available. But the 25 rule holds pretty steady. I d like to know your thoughts about original vs reissue in terms of sound quality. I prefer original up until about 25.

That said many factors help determine whether you ve purchased a good or bad pressing of a record. 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. If the original is more than that then i will look at the reissue. A looser term reissue applies to a wider variety of releases.

Reissues is a recurrent topic among vinyl junkies.
