    From your post #80:

    Sure, maybe "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You" were/are considered Pop or filler or "trite" for their time,
    What I said stands for itself. I questioned those words, I damn sure didn't agree with them.

    Re: Vinyl Reissues - From Analog Planet

    So interested in this re-issue:

    Forrest Gump OST


    Here's the blurb about the production:

    Mastered for vinyl and lacquers cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio

    Hand-numbered "All-American" limited red, white and blue edition

    180-gram vinyl plated at RTI, pressed at United Records

    Triple-panel gatefold jacket, matte paper finish

    Three matte 11" x 11" full-color inserts

    To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the motion picture "Forrest Gump," SRCvinyl is proud to announce the first ever North American vinyl pressing of the movie soundtrack. All 32 tracks have been placed across three vinyl LPs to ensure maximum audio fidelity, in addition to vinyl mastering and lacquers by Kevin Gray, and platting at RTI. The album will be available on 180-gram "All American" Red, White and Blue vinyl LPs, pressed at United Records in the USA. First pressings will be hand numbered and limited.


    Seems like some good credentials being put to this pressing, but what does it mean 'Mastered for vinyl'? I've seen this wording from the same label (SRCvinyl) on a few of their albums (if not all). Intentionally vague so stay away if I wanted to be a purist?

    Thoughts?

    I think it means it was sourced from digital. There is no mention that the LPs were cut from tape so I would assume they weren't.

    Re: Vinyl Reissues - From Analog Planet

    Considering FG was recorded in 1994, what were the chances it was recorded on tape? Sure was just digital transfers.

    Re: Vinyl Reissues - From Analog Planet

    Is there anyway to tell the new Blue Note reissues, the ones from digital masters, from the analog ones. There is now quite a few out there on the used market that are graded mint or look mint. While I appreciate what Don Was is trying to do, I can't readily tell the difference when in a store or using Discogs for instance.

    The analog were released by either Music Matters at 45 or 33 rpm and usually have a MM prefix; the Acoustic Sounds use an AP prefix and are 45 rpm. All 45 rpm AFAIK are analog. All others at 33 rpm should be digital.

    Re: Vinyl Reissues - From Analog Planet

    the consensus among BN collectors puts the Music Matters remasters at the pointy end of reissues. If you stumble upon the Toshiba EMI Japanese reissues they're excellent. Released between '89-94 they were superlative in many respects and all-analog. This is a good discography for them:

    Re: Vinyl Reissues - From Analog Planet

    Rob, I googled "pointy end" and I got references to an episode in the Game of Thrones. What do you mean by "pointy end?" Good or bad? Sharp sounding, perhaps? Thanks, Larry

    at the top, the pinnacle (non standard english). I follow the British motorsport press, they often refer to anything at the top of heap as the "pointy end."
