- The latest reissues thatI I have purchased new MFSL pressings, Pallas Germany pressings,
R.T. I. pressings Rhino reissues, compared some are better some are not. watch the video to find out my findings.
Very interesting video,ive found the same thing as i've recently returned to playing my vinyl after many years in the CD only category, i fell into re purchasing some of my favourite albums on the remastered vinyl and i would say that in 70% of the cases my old original copies sounded better,sometimes way better
Ron can you place your mic closer, I have my iPhone maxed out and can barely hear you. Love your content! Keep up the good work.
The microphone is in my camera I bought a camera with a microphone input but it didn't work for some reason I I am trying to get a new camera with the external microphone but they're really hard to find I've had this complaint before I've tried moving the camera closer this particular video is loud and clear on my Samsung phone not sure why it's not coming up loud on your phone thanks for your feedback and so happy you're enjoying the videos thanks for watching
Ron, you should do a
on Fleetwood Mac
albums.Such as the
Blue Horizon years.
Thanks again Rockinroni for sharing your trials and tribulations with the VC. The situation with the Dire Straits Brothers in Arms record really was counter-intuitive regarding the British pressing to what I would have anticipated in that circumstance. Great tips on the shipping side of things so we can have a professional point of view on what to look for and what to avoid as well.
Thanks for sharing again excelant video. The yes album is my favorite yes album. You got that right to. Rave on bro
Thanks Mick glad you're enjoying the videos lots of stuff in these older videos they're packed with info enjoy
My original 85 UK Brothers in Arms still sounds fantastic, look after your stuff and keep it clean 👍
AMAZING video, my friend. What great taste in music, you have. I had fun watching this video.
Another good video. I'm not a high end listener - I am a thrift digger, so I don't buy new reissues - but it always comes down to; it depends... there is never one cut and dried answer. However, I am so glad Rhino and Sundazed have been doing such great work and keeping the art alive!
I know this is an old video but I also own that rhino reissue of the soft parade it is a very nice sounding reissue I've never been disappointed with any rhino reissue some of the best sounding I've heard from rhino are their early reissues from the 80s I have a rhino pressing of the turtles first album reissued by rhino in 82 or 83 back when they actually had a cartoon drawing of a rhino on the label fantastic sounding very low noise floor
The most recent mono reissues of the Buffalo Springfield catalog from rhino are worth checking out as well they were mixed and mastered under the supervision of Neil Young and do sound better than the originals imo
Ron, Just in case you were unaware, The Mobile Fidelity "Lab" series (Silver header)is different from the "Gold Header" for a reason. They began using Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab at the top of titles when they were unsure or unable to source the original master tapes. There may be some older titles that have OMR but didn't use the original tapes before they started using the differentiator. I hope this clears this up , a bit.
Thank you for your comments on the Silver label.
I explain my position on the silver label in this video starting at about 12.20 thanks for watching hope you enjoy the video

Ron, Nice review and records. Those Dire Straits albums are so good. Take Care Edward
thanks for watching Ed I have many informative videos on my channel some folks learn a lot about records from them. Glad you enjoyed the video Cheers Ron
pallas Germany do brilliant pressings
Did you ever do a video on Japaese vinyl? Japanese vinyl has always been hit and miss for me. I have a Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy on an early Japanese pressing. and it sounded bright with no low end. Then I purchased a Eric Clapton Slowhand on 180 gram japanese vinyl and it sounds terrific. Is there a secret to know which Japanese vinyl is good?
I talk about jaanese records on many of my videos. With the Japan Vinyl you have to have the original pressing or first issues. Those are great sounding the reissues are not so great they are a little bright sounding and a little Bass shy. Problem for the older Japan records the original issues in nm condition can be pricy
$16 for that T. Rex record is a GREAT price.
Bonjour Ron Beaudry . I am André. I am originally from Gaspé side. Ron are you from New Brunswick? I like to watch you're channel and I got a lot off quality pressing. it is very educative to ear you taking about the difference between the pressing. Sorry for my english je parle français first.
A Canadian seller got mental when I asked politely if he could ship my album with extra protection like the one you showed us. He even implied I was attacking him AMD his reputation by simply asking something normal.
That was a Discogs seller.
Suffice to say I cancelled the purchase.
Some people think they're doing you a favour by selling you anything. Completely unaware of how customer service works.
BTW, I''m looking forward to buy the Dire Straits box, but there is the Abbey Rodd half. Speed master8ng of Brothers in arms and a single disc one.
I haven't heard of the one you showed.
I will go definitely for that one and re-sell the one in the box.
LOL, sounds like a lunatic. I found most of the people on Discogs quite weird. Why is this?
I used to buy Japanese imports through an importer named YSL. The records were dead quiet which was great but they sounded like they were several generations down from the master tape with quite a bit of tape his.
Hi Ron
"Love Over Gold" is one of my all time favorite albums. I have a German Vertigo (red label) pressings of it. But I'd like to get the best sounding copy of it. What is the best sounding pressing, in your opinion?... What are those "domestic" pressings you're talking about?... I've never heard about those before :)
Your German original is probable the best one you will find and probable better than my copy it just breaks my heart the way mo fis sound today.
Domestic is used to describe products that are made in your country
Domestic is for me USA or Canada.
Domestic for you europe pressings Holland makes some of the best sounding records, Germany and UK as well
OK.. Thank you for the explanation :) I had never heard that before. Now I know :)
Very informative. Thanks for sharing
@8:18 You could hear that the mofi was digital. Way to go, and @8:30 good you didn't continue buying mofi.
This video shows that good old pressing still sounds, if not the best always, most of the time the best! (if you take care of your records)
ABOUT THAT BROTHERS IN ARMS: I have not heard the reissue yet, but I am sure you are right about this. The record is DIGITAL, yup this is one of those vinyl records that had digital in the signal path, in fact it was even recorded digitally it says it on the sleeve. I am not a big fan of digital transfers to vinyl really. However, with that being said, without even hearing it, I am about 100% sure the reissue beats out the original. The digital technology of today is far superior to what was available in 1982. It is unfortunate that such a great album comes from a digital source, there is not way around it. Thanks for posting!!!! I did not know that reissue existed...You the man ronnie.
you are right on all counts buddy and this new reissue is so much better as I say in my video thanks for watching, liking, and subing
Ron Beaudry And what is that Brothers In Arms reissue? Where can I find?
I have the original issue from 1982 on a Dutch Polygram pressing and that one is superb! Dead quiet vinyl and pressed straight, not a trace of being off centered at all. Tell that to today’s pressing plants! This Polygram plant from Baarn, Holland, was, in my opinion, the best pressing plant in the world. They pressed for Polydor, Philips, (Phonogram), Fontana, Decca, London, Deutsche Grammophon and if they had the capacity for several others, too. Oh, and the weight was what was the usual weight in those days, roughly between 100 and 120 grams. The best was invented way back when, not today.
Hi Ron love to see whats for sale on ebay where will i find you stuff Cheers from Ireland :)
I am rockenroni on ebay
Ron Beaudry Tks Ron Some nice stuff there hope you ship to Ireland. keep the vids coming :)
Great video! Ron, my man, when you gonna make a new video? I'm always entertained by your opinions on record's! I trust your judgement the most!
Thanks George we're still finishing up the flooring here in the house hopefully I can get my stereo set up soon and make a couple videos for you appreciate your comments

@@vinylcity1599 thanks buddy a little under the weather for the last few weeks and a standstill but should be getting back in the swing of things very soon
Sir, you have a collection of
reissued albums.
The name of the video is new reissues compared some are better which are not. Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed the video
Fleetwood Mac, Dire Straits,
T.Rex and a few other things.
Great video Ron
Thanks Peter Glad you enjoyed it
I have a japanese press of rumors first press nr mint sound awsome best I ever heard missing obi and English lyric sheet though but has japanese sheet
jamespartington5 cool i really like the Japan originals they sound better than most half speed masters
Yes they do I have 3 half speeds meatloaf bat out of hell ruce springsteen darkness and Simon and garfunkle bridge and they dont sound to bad but dont have any other bruce or simon ro compare them but I have a phillipiens bat out of hell and the both sound verry different
yes big hits were not talking about ed sheeran
Mobile Fidelity are snake oil IMHO.
Too bad you think that I love High Fidelity
Yep, it got proven that they are snake oil. In 2022 it finally got settled.
ABOUT THAT MSFL: with the mofi's I have been on the fence much like yourself, weird EQ, very hit or miss with their stuff. I never know which Mofi is good and they can cost a fortune, look at the OOP UHQR mofi records. Can you say Insanity.
I an talking about the new mofi stuff older stuff was really good back in the day
Ron Beaudry Is that the rule for Mofi, New = Hit/miss, but old=good ? I know some are out of the world good but some are not and at the prices that the MSFL records are fetching it is tough to gamble without knowing if it is going to be a stellar sounding LP ahead of time.
ok what i was saying is back in the day 1970's MFSL were at the top of the food chain at around $25.00 for a new record but now with all the really good reissues and the availability of Japanese pressings I am not paying $100 plus for mfsl or even $50.00 but the new mofi from music direct I have not found any new reissues that sound superior . Like I say in my video they sound nice but when compared to even a original standard domestic pressing they are not as good sounding so wow what happened at mofi half speed mastered? and when i called them and told them of my findings they are like what? why are you calling? everyone else loves our stuff. We still have the same old guys doing it the same old way so how can it not be great? Go away you crackpot.
I was at a audio show Axpona in Jacksonville Florida a couple of years back when the new Santana mofi reissues came out I got Abraxas and in one of the best rooms the guy had just bought the Santana first lp,so I asked to hear it and he told me it sucked and when i got home I compared my Abraxas cbs half speed to the new mofi half speed I got at the show and the guy was right on, it sucked and went for sale on ebay.
Ron Beaudry The wear is in the grooves, or rather the modulation in the grooves. That is exactly the same groove as in a standard pressing except that a 180gramm pressing has more redundant vinyl between the two sides. Shortly: a 180gr pressing wears exactly as quickly as a standard one. Furthermore, when you set your vertical tracking angle (VTA) correctly for standard pressing, it's wrong when you play a thicker record and vice versa. This has a huge impact on the sound. 180 gram is in no way audiophile, it's just a marketing hype.. Far more important is the process of cutting the master lacquer, the plating and the pressing.
Ron Beaudry Not really, I have a original domestic KENDUN master of Fleetwood Mac S/T and it knocks the piss out of my mofi copy. Also, I think a lot of those silver label MOFIs are cheaper and not necessarily from the original masters.
I was confused today when I saw KICK half-speed on Amazon US today. The obi had the Atlantic logo. As far as I knew, all reissues use the original labels and packaging of the ORIGINAL release. The original release of anything INXS is of course Australian pressings. INXS were on WEA, not Atlantic. Makes me wonder if AC/DC reissues use the Albert's label for reissues. I am guessing not. Kinda pisses me off that reissues of Australian music do not get the same respect in that regard.
A Shaw well I guess it all depends on who's reissuing it and if they can get the rights to the original labels but I agree with you 100%
Ron Beaudry Thanks for the reply! One thing with the reissues that annoys me is when they do not have notes about the source. I feel that every release should say what masters were used. I know that most companies are not aiming the reissues at people like us, but it would be nice to know. I recently bought a reissues of ICEHOUSE's "Man of Colours" as it is one of my favourite records ever. It sounds awful, definitely a digital CD master. My original I bought when I was 8 sounds far better. Very disappointing.
yes I have talked about this in some of my videos its a red flag when the record producer is not proud to say what the original source was and what the source was that the record was remastered from.
This Information is very important. some records companys may say from the original master tape, but omit they digitized the tape and remastered the record using digital. Most of these are not good sounding at all but there are a few exceptions.
The folks that that do it right like Quality records, Analogue productions always have a hype sticker on the shrink listing all the important info, they do it right, and their records sound awesome
Why all that old stuff? Buy new music.
Did you not read the title it's about reissues not new issues But you're right there's very little new music that I would buy If you have some suggestions I would like to know I'd listen to it ty
