captainwrong Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 So, can just anyone call up EMI and get the Blue Train, Something Else, Moanin', Cool Strutting, etc., masters shipped over? Isn't this going to be at least the second vinyl reissue in '08 for some of these titles? And aren't there still "audiophile" versions of these records avaliable? Inquiring minds...

adhoc Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Stereo or mono? Just thought I'd ask since the Japanese are - for lack of a better description - mono crazy, believing that it's more "true sounding". Which, given recent revelations, is merely an exercise in delusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkertown Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 The way that's worded...hmmm... I suspect these may be using the RVG "digital" masters... Pass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
