I'm looking to backfill some holes in my collection... mainly Led Zep and Jimi Hendrix... but also the Who. I can't imagine what a modern recording of the Who would be like, wow!
There are some new remastered cd's out there and 'who' knows how many re-issues on vinyl. I
found this on Amazon.. is it good? Or, is it better than
the one I have? This is the 4 cd set from 1990? CD's back often sounded kind of harsh... but not always. I don't know. I've never heard an original album from LZ or Jimi or any of these 60's and early 70's bands when they came out. I didn't have a bank account yet. I was just born, had to learn how to roll over or something.
I am not interested in collector level stuff.. I just want the most natural sounding versions of older music. I bought a remastered Van Halen 1984 on cd and it is definitely better than the original. Better meaning, less tinny/thin. It's still kind of 'tipped up' sounding but there is bass where there wasn't before. If anyone has recommendations or links to properly done classic rock, that would be helpful. Thanks.
BTW, I thought there was a thread on AC about this subject somewhere but I can't find it.
