Am I the only person who finds the remastered version of songs that I know well an irritation to the point where they are just not worth listening to?
Who decides that the original version needs improvement - is it the record company or who? If its and additional version that the record company puts out why does Spotify seemingly always choose the remastered version over the well-known original. With George Martin just dying I decided to listen to some old Beatles tracks only to find that they were all remastered to the point where they sounded like a tribute band. Some of the tracks were actually flat.
The whole point of putting something like Sgt Peppers on Spotify is that people want to be reminded of what it sounded like at the time. Does the remasterer think they can do a better job than Geo Martin?
It's a way to sell the same album over again
I agree with all of you about the lost equilibrium in some remastered albums. On the others way around, it unveils impressing features for very of albums (78 rpm vinyls of the beginning of 1900). For instance the composer Pablo Martin Meliton Sarasate played in 1904 but his Gramophone are too difficult to hear even the melody is suspending our breath. The remastering brings to a new vision of his music but with a wonderful freedom and other interpretations are difficult to compare to the Composer’s playing. The thing to regret is the sound of the violon which is not a Stradivarius... If it is a full fake of the original music, it would be nice to know. If it is the real digital cleaning with respected volumes and tempo, it would be interesting to know how they did it.
Thanks for this Community for helping iur thoughts. Spotify would be. Elcome to explain things and let us know if they did other restaurations line that if it is a real one!
Can you ask the record labels to not include "remastered" in their metadata? It's ruining the charts on Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, Last.FM…
Remastering is bad enough but also remixing get included as remastered so you can get 5 min. of waffle or more just to extend the length, it just gets to the point that you might just as well listen to other groups cover versions because they sound better.
Soooo true,
I hate it when your favourite songs sound dull, lifeless, boring. They remove all dynamics & caracter.
So I stand up & search through my CD / LP collection, even if it takes me 15 minutes to find what I want. I'ts still better than having a remastered version in 1 second.
So what's the point of having Spotify then?
you can actually listen to all the original masters of their albums on Spotify you just gotta google search them instead of searching for them in Spotify
for example:
TDSOTM original master: https://open.spotify.com/album/4LH4d3cOWNNsVw41Gqt2kv?si=9PmjLhE_TU-Cq6wE2hHC6Q
Wish you were here original master: https://open.spotify.com/album/0bCAjiUamIFqKJsekOYuRw?
The Wall original masters: https://open.spotify.com/album/5Dbax7G8SWrP9xyzkOvy2F?si=Ld206c84T8edLamdpsai-g
so sound an awful lot like the official masters so think it's a jackpot - you can't either find them on the group's discography page
