[kj] Absolute Dissent RSD Remaster

[Kevin Marion]

So there is a difference in the iTunes version over the CD?  I guess I need to listen to both again.

Thanks, Kevin

 Alrighty
 
 
 
 I compared the song
 Absolute Dissent on:
 RSD vinyl
 version
 Original CD
 iTunes purchase
 
 
 
 So let me preface
 that I was listening to the Rolling Stones - Some Girls
 before this (original press).  So I put the RSD vinyl on
 and I have to crank it up quite a bit more to get it to a
 loud level.  If Some Girls was
  at 12, AD is at 3
 
 
 
 Initial reaction is
 that it has much more high end. Which has it's pros and
 cons.  There are some guitar pick swipes and drumming that
 become more pronounced. But the guitar can get a bit
 brittle.
 The CD is what I am
 used to but is...not muddy but more...muddled.  Not as
 clear as I would like.
 iTunes wins
 overall.
 
 
 
 I am still glad I
 got the record but if I already had it I would likely be
 disappointed.

 Don’t
 get it for the packaging. I don’t know why but I was
 hoping for something comparable to the Pylon release. Not
 even close. And I should have known.  Looks like they got
 the art from a web search. And nothing new. All the content
  is the same. The poster is the one they’ve used years
 ago. Montage of them live.
 
 
 Sound?  Won’t know until morning. This is one of the few
 I don’t have on vinyl. I want to A/B it with OG cd.
 
 
 Still glad I got it.
