Remastered Classic Albums

Yay or nay?

What.cd, a great music torrent site, has just about every version of every classic album ever. So I’m often torn about what to download — do I go for the original pressing to capture that classic sound? Or do I opt for the remaster that takes advantage of newer digital technologies and is optimized for digital mediums? Is something lost or is it all gain (/jokesformusicnerds)? Or is it really a case-by-base basis, wherein some albums are remastered poorly, and others really benefit from the process?

About The Scrabbled

The Scrabbled is a group of people blogging about and linking to all manner of things. Usually we argue and make fun of each other. Everybody knows everybody through somebody so there are no strangers here. Most of us have even met in real life! If you happen to personally know someone here and would like to start arguing with and/or making fun of someone, shoot John an email and ask to sign up. Otherwise, you're just going to have to read in relative silence. Sorry.
