stevie's were brilliant
(although the vinyl still sounds great).

the beatles' were awesome
(i think i prefer the remastered CD of abbey road to the vinyl)


the sly remasters i could have done without, like you said.
same goes for the stones' "exile on mainstreet," although the
"let it bleed" remastered sounds really great.




it really all depends.


mostly, i'm just curious... b/c sometimes
they bring things to life in a way that the original issue didn't
capture the same way.




and all of the Prince CD's sound terrible anyway
when compared to the vinyl, so i'm pretty curious
as to what they came up with.
