Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters?

whart ,
 Bowie  ...The man who sold the world, it sounds like bowie is twenty feet back in a tube .I'm replacing so many albums due to my fire and most of these 180 gram purchases are suckin! I had hundreds and hundreds  of jap pressings,triples of most stuff all purchesed in the 70-90s .Problem is I just don't live close to any good stores up in nor cal.I keep buying used and am disapointed in the abuse people put on there lp.At 17yrs old (87') we were way into lps we cleaned everything on a 16.5 vrp sleeve with a cover,onto the denon dp47 103 d.Yeh we were ahead of the curve due to the cool older sibling influence.Anyway I have taken to many chances on these 180grm "audiophile !" recordings lol .

The yes fragile i have is pretty good honestly..
Genesis Wind and wuthering ..pretty good 
Genesis The trick of the tail ...c+
Grateful Dead  american beauty pretty good 
( although i hear the 45 is great) most of the others sound like they were mixed for my car or some sh*t like that...

oleschool- i found an early japanese pressing that sounds good. The early UK one is big money, and the US one - my understanding is, it's more about the cover. I can check my deadwax on the pressing I like if you want. It wasn't that costly compared to the early UK.

sure man ...

Ole- it is this one: https://www.discogs.com/David-Bowie-The-Man-Who-Sold-The-World/release/5806133

I have not compared all the notable pressings, but this one punches, is not murky or strident. It is crank-able. I don’t think the one listed for $60 US is badly priced, since it is probably worth more if it had the OBI.

Oleschool-
I took a chance with Yes CTTE, and was rewarded with the necessary noise free/black background for the complexities of side 1. The disappointment was that punched up bass that compared to an original,sounds unnatural. This album has a great deal of ambience,which the reissue does okay with.

With "Fragile," "Long Distance Runaround" has an enormous amount of Squire’s bass throughout the track. Can’t imagine it sounding any different from typical reissues (unless you have tone controls on your preamp!) That album is still easy to find in my neighborhood record store. CCTE however, most copies are a mess, but I’ve been lucky to find an almost MINT copy.

"I get up, I get down..." Almost a religious experience when the volume knob is at 12:00 o’clock. The illusion of hearing the pipe organ in a damp cave, along with Anderson’s buildup of the verse is hypnotic.

Sidenote: I had every Yes album in 78, as the 80’s progressed, I gave all my records away for that new shiny disc. I WAS DUPED!!! The last decade has been spent buying the albums I tossed!
