Original Issue Vs Reissue Vinyl

When verifying the pressings of your record collection match all the information on the sleeve with the original pressing.

Original issue vs reissue vinyl.

I m new into vinyl and i m not sure if it s worth spending much more money in original pressings rather than buying an 180g reissue. Depends on the genre and release year and stuff like that too. Found an old record that looks and feels new. A looser term reissue applies to a wider variety of releases.

Different albums so the comparison isn t direct but you get the idea. I prefer original up until about 25.

That said many factors help determine whether you ve purchased a good or bad pressing of a record. For me this edition at 180 grams is pretty good maybe better than the original but the problem of this. This is a comparison between a 2008 remastered issue of ride the lightning and a 1986 original issue of master of puppets. I ve heard that most of these reissues are copied directly from a digital recording or a cd and the sound quality is not the best.

Purchased a new copy of cosmos factory lately. But the 25 rule holds pretty steady. Normally a reissue shows variances from the original including the sourcing of masters country of origin packaging and even format. Reissues is a recurrent topic among vinyl junkies.

I d like to know your thoughts about original vs reissue in terms of sound quality.
