Bad Company
Desolation Angels 40th anniversary edition [Remastered]:
- CD from Amazon (2-CD set) $19
- CD from Target (2-CD set) $19
- HDTracks download (24/96 hi-res) $35
- Vinyl LP $35
Album is in my subscription and found on both streaming services:
- Tidal Streaming $19/mo 50+ Million track library.
album found at 16/44.1 CD Quality FLAC
- Qobuz Streaming $15/mo 50+ Million track library
album found at 24/96 hi-res
Not their best work but I thought I would give the remastered Desolation Angels a try compared to my 1979 physical CD. The remaster is noticeably better sounding whether streaming 16/44.1 FLAC from Tidal or 24/96 hi-res from Qobuz. And again, its the remastering that seems to make the biggest difference.
The point is, I see no need to ever buy another CD or vinyl LP because pretty much everything I want can be had at CD quality or better via streaming. And when a new remaster hits the market these streaming services pick them up too so no need to buy yet another piece of physical media to replace older poorer sounding releases.
