Hey Vinyl Eyezz do a video about Japanese pressing ,they are the best pressing on the world because they press small batch and the kept their use vinyl in mint condition ,they don't sell scratch record (often they are the most pricy first press ) and do a video about discog

[@sokargo2194]

I prefer the remastered ones. The reason why I think they're better than the original pressings, is because they improve their quality and they might sound amazing. For example, I have "Bonnie Tyler Faster than the speed of night", I was SHOCKED from the great sound!

[@benmillikan2724]

I have a question. I have a Audio Technica AT LP60X. When I press automatic start button, the tonearm lifts up and moves a bit too far into the record before dropping. It skips the first one or two grooves. It skips even more when playing seven inch records. I saw a video showing a adjustment screw towards the back of the turntable that would fix my problem but his turntable wa different and I dont have a screw where he did. I also dont want to turn any screw I see because I feel I might make the problem worse. I just want to know if anybody knows where this adjustment screw is.

[@BlueNeon81]

Here are my thoughts about it. 'Audiofools' are hunting 1st pressings of each albums and usually mono versions, because "this is how this album should sound". But it is a bit complicated. You see, the technology has improved over the years and even in the late 60's or early 70's, mastering engineers couldn't get the record as good as it was on tape. That's why there were experimenting with half speed mastering in order to get better treble. Maybe in late 70's the cutting technology and skill of engineers improved a lot and in a dawn of DMM, they managed to get the sound right. That's why many represses sound much better than original pressings. Right now there are maybe two different pressing of each album, one for US and another one for Europe and other territories. But there were more than 30 different pressings in a past, nearly each country has pressed a record for their market, so if you collect every existing 1st pressings of one album, you'll be surprised how different they sound. And no, every record label used the production master made from the original. Even the "original original pressing" was pressed from the production master. I own some albums, which sound better on represses. Remaster. What is remaster? It's basically creating a new master from an existing master. Remaster can be just a 1:1 copy of an original master, or heavily tweaked with EQ, limiter&compression, noise reduction and other stuff. The question is, what remaster is good? The answer is: just hunt for some reviews and discussion forums. Why remasters exist? Just make a record from the original tape, for Christ's sake! Well, it's not very easy. The tape can became very fragile if not properly stored and nearly all Ampex tapes need to be baked right before any manipulation. Or the tape is so worn out, it could be saved only with clever editing with other sources and some digital manipulation. And even when the tape is in the perfect condition, archive would not allow to move the tape out of the vault, not even to another country for pressing. That's why the remasters on a digital file is the best solution. I have worked on a project 2 years ago, when the record label decided to release rare recordings of one band, recorded in national radio. But they didn't allow us to even see the tapes, not even to touch them, or moved them out of radio's vault. They just digitized them and they sent us files. And when we complained about bad transfers, they did new ones. At first, I was mad, because those recordings were mono and they transfered those tapes on Studer A80 with stereo head, but I later discovered that there were so many dropouts, so it was good, when I used one track and in case of dropout, I spliced that portion from second track. And yes, I kept the noise there, even between the tracks, I kept also pre-echo in the beginning of each tape. I just tweaked the songs in EQ, because every song was recorded in different recording sessions. No compression, no limiting.

Hey vinyl eyezz make a video on how to get started in vinyl in a tight budget

[@austins.2495]

Tip #1 don't start

[@azharborhan5406]

I just started with very limited budget.. here what i did: 1. 2 choice of player, sony PS-LX310BT and audio Technica AT-LP60XUSB.. this is my lowest standard to start, under 200usd. i think it is no point to start with briefcase type and will sound horrible. I went with sony. Maybe you can find used one, this will save you a few bucks. These 2 models also have built in phono preamp, so you save some money there. 2. Find bookshelf active speaker, save you a receiver. Many decent brand like jbl, edifier, marshall. Your preference. Under 100 usd. 2. Find used records but never go to original pressing or 'collectible' limited edition. So around 10-20 usd. 3. When im really don't have budget, i buy used EP. Around 3-5 usd.

[@alparslanesmer4251]

Jarrett, this is one of the best postings you have made over some time. The information you provide is extremely useful, so telling people not every record pressing is worthy of obtaining. Congrats 👍🤘

[@Yardbirds777]

Hi, have commented before. I'm a 66 year old avid collector. My first lp was the Beatles white album back in the '60s. Stereo was just coming in. I didn't want any mono records. 'Cause of the Beatles I was into hifi. Now when I go to record fairs I find that the sellers all look at me as if I'm strange if I say I want a stereo pressing and not a mono pressing of, say the Beatles or the Stones. Song of the day - Little Red Rooster, the Doors.

[@DFWTexan42]

Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab is legendary! Best analog album issues I've ever heard. First experienced them in their heyday of the early 80s. Besides virgin 180g vinyl, they use other techniques, such as half speed cutting from the original master tapes, and pressing in limited batches. Highly recommended!

[@mordaciousfilms]

My girlfriend and I for reasons we couldn't pinpoint, realized that listening to some 70s Jean Michel Jarre on vinyl sounded more "real" and "resonant" than a digital file would. I tend to stream music but I have noticed some incredible dynamics from vinyl, almost like each instrument can be heard with greater clarity, less compressed, less blocky. Maybe not as loud, but somehow a very tactile experience. If I'm gonna get a record, I'm gonna grab a classic pressing over any "special edition remaster" because I want the authentic, original analogue sound.

[@nmrartisticgroove]

Hi! Some of my metal LPs are 'full dynamic range' release. I was reading that it was meant to solve the 'loudness wars' issue but im not really sure of the difference as I dont own two copies of the same album with two different version (e.g. FDR vs non-FDR). It'll be nice to see you explaining this :) I enjoy your content, they are bite size but have substance. Good luck with everything there!

destroyer resurrected sounded great, awesome remix

[@taffyloo]

Thank you for this video! Very well explained. I would always prefer a repressing to a remastering. I like to hear how it sounded "then." The remastering can make songs sound better, but I like to think that the original sound is a record of the song's history. A part of that time. To me, it would be like taking an old chair that was assembled using wooden dowel pegs to hold it together, but then removing those and using screws instead because they hold the chair together better. That is true, but it is not the same chair as was built way back when. Just my take on it but again thanks for the video and I know you have helped many understand the differences of these pressings and remakes.

The steps people need to understand is the "master tape" is the one that the music was mixed down to. A 'remaster' is tweaking the sonics of that tape but the mix stays the same. A "remix" is going back to the original multitrack source and making a new mix by changing the level balance or placement between instruments or changing the effects on those tracks. The new Beatles releases are "remixes" which in turn MUST have a "remaster".

There's one more term - reissue. Repress is the additional pressing of the same release, the same cat number etc... Reissue can be made by a different label, different cat number, can be different in cover artwork.

[@KvatchIsInDanger]

Between a repress or reissue, which would be closer to the original pressing? I’m assuming a repress quality degrades over time as the number of times it is pressed increases, but how does that work for a reissue?

[@UsamaMnemonikk]

@@KvatchIsInDanger ​ It depends on what source do they use. If the label uses the master tape - that kind of reissue can be closer to the first pressing than some repress. You never know :) Besides, reissue can be remastered or not (but rather yes than no).

[@kelseymnegron]

Hi Jarrett! Thanks for getting me into record collecting! I've been watching your videos for about a year and a half now, and I'm a big fan! I know you've made a few videos about colored vinyl, but in a future video, could you discuss the differences between opaque, translucent, and transparent vinyl? I feel like a lot of people and product descriptions get these terms mixed up. I also feel like there are so many variations of "clear" vinyl. For example, I have colorless transparent vinyl (i.e., my Urban Outfitters exclusive pressing of "Neotheater" by AJR), but some other records I have that are labeled as "clear" are actually translucent white (i.e., my first pressing of "Meliora" by Ghost) or even a translucent light blue (i.e., my "clear" pressing of "Pray for the Wicked" by Panic! at the Disco). Then there are terms like "coke bottle clear" (AKA "mint green") that really just mean that the pressing is tinted, transparent, or translucent light green. I'd love to hear your opinions on this, and I think this would be a great discussion to have on the channel! Thanks, Kelsey

Music On Vinyl pressings are o.k., IF the MOV pressings are done normally! I have heard from my local recordstore that they tend to ignore quality control if they are in a hurry! I have had several of these hurried pressings, and the either sound terrible or have damaged vinyl! The wax is still too warm, when removed from the presses, so they are warped frequently too! MOV told the store not to tell customers this, which makes them very sneaky indeed!

[@cliffordhodge1449]

Also, as I understand it, a promo copy is very desirable, since the promos are the first batch pressed after acetate or test pressings, while the master disc has still not been used much. (And I think it is quite seldom, if ever, that a label will send out promos with re-issues or later pressings.)

[@VEXUS920]

Audio engineer here: Most mastering processes use a type of compression. Mastering is usually thought of as a type of compression known as limiting. I'm not a mastering engineer but I just want to state that searching if a new master uses compression is useless most if not all masters use compression in some form.

Ok. Two things: 1. CAN'T ONE JUST ENJOY THE MUSIC? (Whether or not it's a bootleg - WHICH actually means something that was never meant to be heard by the record buying public - or Pirate - WHICH is an unauthorized pressing of an official release. "Introducing...The Beatles" is an album that falls into both categories, though. ) 2. On the subject of Repressings, would something like, say, a change in record companies fit in this category? (Say, and I'm using this as it's featured as the picture, The Beatles' "Abbey Road", which itself has numerous pressings. Would the 1976 CAPITOL issue be a repressing or a reissue? The catalog number didn't change, just the record label - from Apple Records, the original label of issue, to Capitol Records, which distributed Apple in America from 1968 to the closing of the label in 1975.) Long comment, I know.....

I also agree that where it is made, who made it, how many was made from the same mold or whatever you want to call it etc makes a big difference.

There are soooo many opinions when it comes to this stuff. I've been buying records for about 50 years. You brought up several valid points. I'm not a fan of remastering because that usually equates to digital. Not a fan. I have many original first pressings. Most are very very good some amazing a few not so much. A lot is based on the vinyl its self, the weight, who mastered it, who cut the lacquer and where it was pressed. Robert Ludwig, Kevin Gray, Bernie Grundman are mastering geniuses. Former analog master tapes from Rudy Van Gelder (Jazz) put in the hands of any of the former (Ludwig I think recently retired) and mastered using todays analog solid state equipment will be a guarantee for an amazing sounding record.

[@Visaliaipa]

For me part of it is the hunt for the original and for the collectibility and being able to listen to an original. Since I started collecting vinyl again I like looking for originals. I love the Abbey Road album and was able to get an original 1969 first pressing with the mid-aligned Apple on the back. But, I also bought a Japanese pressing, an Australian pressing and looking for more. I bought the 50th anniversary album so I don’t play the original very often. My wife asked, “Why do you need so many copies of the same album?” I didn’t really have a good answer.....lol.

[@anthonyvasquez1259]

Remasters usually don't sound all that great. But the 2012 Michael Jackson's "Bad" remaster sounded excellent on my turntable. And the recent Chicago remasters sound better than the originals due to their very good engineers. But most of the time I prefer reissues from Amazon cut from a good digital master, or a Very Good + condition original from discogs.
