Embarrassed Just noticed the 25th Anniversary edition of Bonnie Raitt's Nick of Time is actually from the original analogue master tapes.

There was nearly a full page interview with the guy doing those Abbey Road remasters in the Independant today. The main paper too...not one of the supplements. I'm tempted, but prices put them in the same ballpark as a 70's near mint, though I've also seen original Island copies on sale for a lot more. Either way it's an album I want, though I do have a decent CD copy.

I've often wondered about the pro's & cons - 40 year old vinyl that was mastered from new tapes or remasters from restored 40 year old tapes? Usually I'd go for the first option but with some albums the cost gets silly, so I'm glad these reissues/ remasters are around.

If makes a difference check out the below link from Analogue Planet where there has been some discussion between Miles Showel at Abbey Road about the half speed matering and why he doesn't use the original analogue tapes.

BEWARE of these "Abbey Road" half speed mastered albums, they are mainly taken from digital sources and may not sound as good as one would expect...I'm waiting until they're released before deciding

I am in a bit of a quandary at the moment as the Roxy Music box set is on offer but MF's review was that it was patchy and it started of the discussion about words files. Since I have none of them (may have Avalon) it may not be an issue.
