Original Issue Vs Reissue Vinyl

A looser term reissue applies to a wider variety of releases.

Original issue vs reissue vinyl.

I ve heard that most of these reissues are copied directly from a digital recording or a cd and the sound quality is not the best. Depends on the genre and release year and stuff like that too. That said many factors help determine whether you ve purchased a good or bad pressing of a record. Normally a reissue shows variances from the original including the sourcing of masters country of origin packaging and even format.

This is a comparison between a 2008 remastered issue of ride the lightning and a 1986 original issue of master of puppets. Found an old record that looks and feels new. Speak spell sony music legacy 2016 180gram vinyl vs original mute records stumm5 1981. For me this edition at 180 grams is pretty good maybe better than the original but the problem of this.

Different albums so the comparison isn t direct but you get the idea. A quality reissue can offer a great alternative to owning a scratchy original or spending big money on something scarce. I d like to know your thoughts about original vs reissue in terms of sound quality. But the 25 rule holds pretty steady.

I prefer original up until about 25. I m new into vinyl and i m not sure if it s worth spending much more money in original pressings rather than buying an 180g reissue. When verifying the pressings of your record collection match all the information on the sleeve with the original pressing. Reissues is a recurrent topic among vinyl junkies.

Purchased a new copy of cosmos factory lately.
