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.

I just listened to an early Vertigo West German pressing.
Unlike the SACD, it was not grainy sounding at all. I prefer listening to it. My sacd will be mothballed for the time being.
Some of these early non remastered cds are outstanding. If the hardware was better at that time, I think that the cd would have been better appreciated by the audio public. At the time digital playback was not ready.
