yet another post about poor sound quality in some reissues

[greg]

i came back from the record store today happy as can be with my new copy of Fred Locks cd black star liner, as soon as i put it in my cd player i realised that there was no remastering it was just ripped from the vinyl, and not only that but the copy they used to put on cd had a horrible scratch across my favorite track true rastaman it went thru the whole song!!!!!!!!
thats the last time i buy a cd, i might as well buy the original copy and burn to cd myself!
sorry just venting

would be good if there was a website that graded reggae cd resissues on sound quality. but that's asking a bit much I know...

Yes Breda Greg. It´s de sad reality ina too much stuff. Same happened to mi wid "Black Star Liner" some years ago. One of greatest ROOTS albums wat nuh hav a decent CD reissue. Besides ina dis time tings a going from bad to worst wid Blood&Fire´s collapse.
Mi always tink dat idea Breda Punxsta. Maybe nuh a website but at least a blog.

ROOTS WID QUALITY!

BLESS
