Dire Straits Brothers in Arms Comparison


If anybody is interested a buddy and I just did a detailed comparison with the original CD, remastered CD and LP of Dire Straits Brothers in Arms. The LP was first with blacker back ground, smoother mids and much better bass than the other two CDs. The original CD was second with smooth mids but lacked the bass. The remastered CD was way down the scale in comparison. I would not recommend the remastered version.

If you have not heard the original British pressing, you are missing a real treat as it absolutely walks over the subsequent reissues. Please note that I have various American issues (vinyl) and the latest 180 gram reissue (which is actually very good) as well as the original CD and the XRCD. Of the digital issues, the XRCD is the best that I have heard but again does not equal the British vinyl original pressing. Note that the same is true for Love Over Gold.
