I-Roy - The Observer Book Of Roy Samuel Reid

Post by Peace Pipe »

Hello,

does anyone know how the sound quality on this recently issued LP by VP is?
I heard a lot of bad things about their recent mastering skills on some albums, but I still want to get this if it's at least reasonably mastered.

I don't know if this will help, but I got the CD box that that album is in the other day, and it sounds good. I don't know if the mastering would be different for the vinyl version? I don't know enough about the process to answer that, but if it sounds like the CD I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Okay, thanks flashman.
I don't think the mastering in this case would be different on vinyl, but to be honest, I don't know enough about it either.
But it's good news that it sounds good on cd so I'm going to buy this record.
Thanks again!
Peace

Why not get the B&F CD "Microphone Attack", it has 10 tracks on that compilation that are also on "The Observer Book of..." and only misses "Jamaican Girl".

Plus you get 8 other great Niney productions by the likes of Big Youth, U Roy, Dillinger, Trinity & Ranking Trevor.

And the sound quality is pristine.

What more could you want :)

Thanx for the advice, Rootsman, but I'm looking for vinyl on this one, and the Hotter Yatta LP that I really want is impossible to buy (too expensive!)
