Guest Kibreg Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Anyone here checked out the recent R&S remasters of Classics and SAW? Curious as to how they sound compared to the originals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekta Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I was curious about this too, wondering if they are worth buying on vinyl again or not. Someone help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyrex Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I asked this when they came out, and had no response to my best recollection. I would assume they were struck from the original plates. I'm also going to change the topic title to 'reissues', since it's a bit misleading since we're not sure if these are remasters or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josso Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Was it 85-92 that was remastered? I'd say that was quite a tricky job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kibreg Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I'm also going to change the topic title to 'reissues', since it's a bit misleading since we're not sure if these are remasters or not. well both of the new records have "200 REMASTER" written on the front cover... don't know why they'd lie about that.

Guest Kibreg Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 theres no question that both those 2006 R&S reissues are REMASTERED... I don't know why joyrex changed the topic title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 i dunno why they would have to be remastered though.. the originals sound freakin' amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hexagonsun Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I purchased the remastered SAW 85-92 through WARP. The amatures sent me classics remastered the first time, and since I'm in the US I didn't get SAW until a month later. It was well worth the wait though. The remastering did take a lot of the tape hiss out and therefore other sounds come through clearer. noticeable improvement for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kibreg Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 hmm... sounds like i should pick these up... thanks hex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josso Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Interesting, overal I wonder whether it'll sound better or worse without that nice "warm" tape feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest combatvet101 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I also got a copy of the remastered SAW 85-92 on vinyl, and it is a greater improvement over the original release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josso Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 There was some discussion a while back saying that the production is a unique part of 85-92 - I'd kind of agree with them but if it's been done REALLY well I think you can still keep the unique feel of the music and take away the bad qualities.
