re-press, re-issue - name those with poor quality

[leggo rocker]

I have a repress of Barrington Levi Bounty Hunter.

Jah Life JLLP 001, Matrix JW 001 A / B. Label White and RED with H.I.M portrait.

Great chunes, resonable pressing quality (no drop-outs etc) but AWFUL quality sound reproduction.

I can't listen to music being murdered like this.

Sounds like it was mastered off a well worn cassette tape (maybe it was)

Anyone wanna list similar BAD re-issues so we can all avoid buying them!

I bought the reissue of Cornell Campbells album Money on L&L. The music is vibrating all the way through. It goes up and down in volume with a quite high frequency. REALLY disturbing. Killer album otherwise

2 High Times LP's i have are truly bad pressings & a total waste of money.

Freddie McGregor- Freddie McGregor
Chinna Smith - Sticky Fingers

well there's johnny clarke's Superstar Roots Disco Dub on weed beat. JA pressing still for sale brand new but the quality is really bad.
Great music though.

[kalcidis]

I thought that the quality was OK on that one.

My copy of JC on Weed Beat is ok except the last song on one side (from memory) has a "swish" running thru it.

Re-press of The Viceroys- We Must Unite on Thompson Sound label is very poor

[Ites]

My copy of Presenting Mr Tuff by Tony Tuff on Black Roots from a few years back is horrible on one side, unlistenable...

[MustBeLion]

All my 7'' re-issues from Volcan & Power House Labels are very poor... impossible to listen...

[j j]

Yes my volcano & powerhouse are mostly bad press especially Powerhouse LP's, mustblion.

Also 1 side of Sly & Robbie Gamblers Choice LP on Taxi is un listenable.

Also 1 side of Big Youth/V/A - Chi Chi Run - Prince Buster LP has bad mastering with a bad crunching noise through every track on the B side except the last track.

Anybody know if the recent repress is any better?????
