Brothers in Arms 1/2 Speed Mastered


Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms LP is one of my all time favorites. I have been tempted, lately, to buy the 180g 1/2 Speed Mastered version. For those who have listened to this version, how does it compare? Is it a "must have"? Thanks.

What is the label? The Stan Ricker mastered jobby, pressed at RTI (WEALP49377). Good names there. I'd like to hear it.

As you probably know, this was originally recorded digitally, probably among the first rock albums cut entirely on a 24-track Sony digital recorder.

Regards,
Metralla is right. Any vinyl pressing is going to be a DAA at best (digital recording, analog master, analog pressing) but more likely a DDA (digital recording, digital master, analog pressing) so you wouldn't really be getting anything special for your money, at least not insofar as "analog" recording is concerned.

However, I own both the commercial CD release and the XRCD release of Brothers, and I can tell you difference is amazing, as is the XRCD version of The Eagles Hell Freezes Over album.

It is a must have. The one I purchased is on two records. It is the finest piece of vinyl I own.
