Definitive Audiophile pressings

[HayesWeighsIn]

And 2 days before shipping, Glenn would through a fit about the colour on the cover and cancel the release.

For a man who cares so much about release details, he hasn't made anything that's sounded any good for over 20 years!

On the other hand, I’d like to find the guy that okayed the test pressing of Kid A Mnesia and kick him with the Katy Lied boot.

Fuck Chad. (Yes he is catching a stray, I don’t care, fuck him!)

That was a whole shitshow. Label said they would repress and send replacements for one of the discs. Then went actually nevermind. It sounds fine to us.

Radiohead should get Matt Colton to recut their catalogue. But I guess that would mean they have to actually care how their pressings sound to begin with.

As a connoisseur as opposed to a creator, obviously I am bias buts it’s completely strange to me that an artist can put forth so much effort to make a recording sound a certain way only to not give a fuck about how it sounds on the back end. To me, Neil Young and Wilco seem to genuinely care how their music sounds when it’s being played back by a fan. It’s strange that they are the exception as opposed to the norm.

I don’t get it either. Same with D’Angelo spending a painstaking amount of time recording an album to 2” tape then cutting the vinyl from a 192 file…
