U2 joshua tree remastered vinyl

Posted by: mason63 on 09 March 2015

just ordered my 3rd copy of the joshua tree album , the 2 i have are the original Island label, i`ve ordered the audiophile remastered vinyl edition this time, is there much difference in quality over the original? cheers

I doubt it. If you have the original first press then you already have the best 'audiophile' copy. It wasn't a particularly good recording originally. As the saying goes 'you can't make a silk purse from a pig's ear.'

Steve is right. That record has been recorded exactly that way. They say because they wanted. Like Rattle and Hum. In those days i heard a lot complaining about the same thing. In this case recording is a part of the whole idea. Btw i have 3 copies myself
