Genuine question. The reason I ask is that remastered stuff is usually compressed and had its analogue warmth knocked out of it by the digital process. Putting that back on vinyl cannot be as effective as when the original analogue recordings were used to make it.
I have bought a few new 180 gramme vinyl pressings recently, and TBH quite dissapointed with the quality of some of them, dynamic range being poor, vague separation of the instruments, pops and clicks etc. I have played 3 of my older LPS' after my lunch (Thompson Twins into the Gap, Tears for fears Songs from the big chair, and currently Tina Turner Private Dancer, sonically they are light years ahead of modern digital to analogue pressings. That said, my lad recently got me a Vinyl of an album he plays on, of which I also have the CD, the vinyl recording clearly separates his notation in the mix.
