QuoteBig Al Here's one: which is better? 40 Licks, or the 40-track edition of Grrr? I know the latter is more well-known for it's 3-CD and deluxe incarnations, but there was a 2-CD, 40-track version released, too. In terms of continuity and 'flow' (historical order) 40-track version of Grrr! is better. In terms of mastering - the 1st CD is about the same both for 40 L

Quoterogerriffin QuoteIrix The digital release from 26-Jul-2023 has an mastering issue with 'Losing My Touch' (Track 20 / Disc 2) - there're dropouts at positions 4m:38s, 4m:40s, 4m:47s. It's e.g. on and Qobuz. I listened but I thought it was my pc ram or ethernet connection... Dont think the vinyl had that issue. If vinyl was cut from that digital source - it will have.

Quoteliddas Quoteironbelly The situation with CD1 is a bit more complex. It seems that they utilized 2016 mono versions for many tracks. I am not sure about stereo, need to dig a bit more. It is quite possible they used versions that were prepared for 50th anniversary editions of TMSR, BB, LIB and related singles. Don't know if this helps, but on Apple music I read Street Fighting Man

Quotefrankotero Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the best remasters the 1994 Virgin pressings? No, the best sounding are those in hands of RSTG But seriously, in terms of sound quality to price value - yes, Virgin versions are overall better. But this is a gross oversimplification.

QuoteSpud This seems to have developed into a technical argument about what constitutes a remix or a remaster. In simple and none technical terms a "remix" is a reworking of the original multi track studio masters and a "remaster" is a modification to the original stereo mixdown of those same multi track masters. After that we're splitting hairs and just annoying
