On the original silver CD release explains exactly what's wrong with Redbook CD. It embodies the digital hash and earsplitting harshness that can ruin Redbook CD.I'm not saying that all Redbook CDs suck because some of the original AAD discs were great. Some ADD and some DDD discs are also fine. Its just the terrible harshness that can exist on Redbook and the subsequent loudness wars made them the problem medium they turned out to be.
Its a shame so many a$$holes have to ruin the potential of a new musical medium but we have what we have. Now thats its a forgotton medium there are more likely a larger number of quality releases.
I don't care because I stopped buying silver discs almost 20 years ago. Hell...a similar story is behind SACD and DVD-A. Too many people don't care about quality and produce the crap that they do to make a buck.
Nothing changes. Caveat emptor.
Forget all of the above. The reason so many people seek out the original Parlephone's and Apple pressings is true. They are very high quality and worth what is charged for them.
Try one...you'll understand.
