Foxfan 128 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I was lucky enough to get the E.T. SACD when it was still in print. I doubt I would hear any additional nuances in the vinyl record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 It's kind of a huge deal if the original Jaws album has been remastered for this release. Of course, if it's only on vinyl, that's obviously not ideal, but still important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,336 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Ah, I getcha now. Yea, I am looking forward to hearing the vinyl for sure, though I won't be purchasing a copy myself. Hopefully one of our hero labels will release a remastered LP on CD along with the original film tracks (from the first generation master this time)Heh Gruesome Son of a Bitch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,330 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I wonder if it's nostalgia, Drax. The people who buy vinyl are generally very young and they look like hipsters.

Bespin 8,480 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I'll never buy such re-relase vinyl.That's a swindle.That's a marketing thing I'll never get into.Making vinyl records is an Art, and I think that it's an Art which is not any more mastered.I love LPs, I know them very well... all their limitations too. I collect and love to restore them when they are the only source... But mercy... we are in 2015... We can't go back!Please release a remastered CD version of the original E.T. album :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,480 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Ok I'll try to understand.You take the original analog Master tape, you record it on a computer.Then you remaster it, clean it and digitally correct all the audio drop-outs.Then you put it on a LP, without mastering it properly for a vinyl, then young people buy it and think it's "the original" sound? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
