Yes. The 4MWB pressings of Allen Toussaint albums basically take all enjoyment out of them.

The entire Westerberg solo catalog on Plain. Also most of Bon Iver’s catalog is noisy to the point of distraction.

I was noticing because though I love the album the vmp pressing of plantasia is filled to the brim with pops and I dunno how much is Gz's fault

@kvetcha maannn, it’s really bad that an album from 2019, as good as it is, is already in dire need of a remaster

I'm not really a huge fan of the quality on any of the Sturgill Simpson records I have. Still love the albums of course, but I rarely spin em, because even streaming them sounds better

Re: Plantasia, the recent reissues are sourced from a needle drop of an OG copy due to not being able to get the original masters, right? I think it sounds pretty good all things considered, but it's unfortunate that they'll never be able to do a full analog master release

Nah. Nothing has ruined an album for me. a bad pressing doesn’t make me like the songs any less.

Most Polyvinyl records, Phantastic Ferniture comes to mind. Love that album, but it's a chore to listen to on vinyl!

Yep - the Baby Huey pressing I have is TERRIBLE! I don't listen to Baby Huey on vinyl, just stream it now.

@Teeeee the RSD 2LP Huey is flawless. I think they released a single LP version after?

EDIT: yep they did

@wokeupnew It's probably more accurate to say it's ruined the pleasure of listening to the album on vinyl. It's never a fun feeling to be like 'yep, wish I were streaming this.'

Like, change my opinion of the album? No. Are there quality issues that make a particular copy or pressing of an album not worth playing? Absolutely.
