<div class="entry-content" readability="48"><img src="http://www.tonepublications.com/media/de-la.jpg" alt="De La Soul – 3 Feet High and Rising" class="thumbnail large post-image" /><p><strong>Sounding like they were taped via a cassette recorder placed in front of an AM radio, the original digital and LP copies of this hip-hop classic sound positively dreadful, with not much useful information above about 5khz. The new “remastered” version has to be better, right?</strong></p>
<p>Wrong.* It sounds even more lifeless and rolled off, as if someone recorded the original on a cheap tape deck, re-broadcast it on AM radio, and then taped those results on a cheap cassette recorder.</p>
<p>In short, this is the worst vinyl pressing we’ve heard in years, and a huge waste of thirty bucks.* Pass. *<em>-Jeff Dorgay</em></p>
<p>Tommy Boy, 2LP</p>
