The digital v. analog/vinyl debate doesn't much interest me, I'm fine with new technology so long as its practical, easy to use, and of course sounds good.
But in the case of these old Everests, most were made on 35mm tape that produced stunning results, but unfortunately could also deteriorate quickly. I'd be interested to hear the HD Tracks high rez digital versions, which were apparently made with special hardware and software to compensate for the tape damage.
Vinyl Phanatic has original consumer tapes that sound even better than the original LPs. It would be great to compare them to the HD Tracks reissues.
