Original Issue Vs Reissue Vinyl

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

Original issue vs reissue vinyl. But the 25 rule holds pretty steady. 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. If the original is more than that then i will look at the reissue.

Although i do prefer to get the best master so if there is a reissue with fairly better mastering i ll get that or vice versa. That said many factors help determine whether you ve purchased a good or bad pressing of a record. This is a comparison between a 2008 remastered issue of ride the lightning and a 1986 original issue of master of puppets. I d like to know your thoughts about original vs reissue in terms of sound quality.

Purchased a new copy of cosmos factory lately. 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. You will need to match the catalog number year of release exact artwork colors and liner notes if available. When verifying the pressings of your record collection match all the information on the sleeve with the original pressing.

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. Reissues is a recurrent topic among vinyl junkies. For me this edition at 180 grams is pretty good maybe better than the original but the problem of this.

Normally a reissue shows variances from the original including the sourcing of masters country of origin packaging and even format.
