Duped again

I believe this reissue of "The Wall" did involve the original engineer and/or producer so this would not have helped. I also bought it and have listened to it just once, but was underwhelmed as well. My other copies of the record were bought used and are quite noisy so I do like the lower noise, but I agree that it sounds a bit as if life has been sucked out of it. I think it might be due to the fact that it seems to have been recorded at a much lower volume compared to the original. I noticed the same thing with Led Zeppelin "Mothership." Touted as an audiophile release mastered at half-speed, blah, blah, blah, sounds just...well blah, and the box is now gathering dust.

I do not understand the endless seeking for a 'better copy' of the same old stuff.
Jeez, if you HAVE a copy and it plays OK, why the Holy Grail search for another copy?
I buy tons of stuff, but I have never bought any item just because it was supposed to be a better copy of something I had.
(unless I knew my copy was all scratched up..)

I am not telling folks not to do it, just it does not make any sense to me.. (So if you have a good explanation.. spit it out...)

IF all there were in the world was a dozen bits of music, yeah, find a better playing one of the dozen might make sense. But I have lists of stuff I want to buy, and cannot see wasting time on some stuff I already have that plays..

?????????????????????????????????????????????????
Just really curious is all, not bitching.. really...

Elizabeth, Think upgrade/better and it makes sense. It's what we do.

I am like you and NEED to have at least one copy of everything but some would be satisfied with the best copy of ten records and listen to them everyday.

Different strokes.
