Steve Hoffman Forum (http://stevehoffman.tv/forums/) is my go-to forum for finding out about various pressings. A big community of obsessive vinyl fans over there. Fremer's Analog Planet is another good place to look, as is My Vinyl Review (http://myvinylreview.blogspot.com/) (though it is less frequently updated).
How can I tell what version of an LP is best ?
After 27 years I am coming back to vinyl . Should've never left !
Anyway , I would like to know if there is some kind of rating service , web site etc. that rates the different LP pressings. When I left , most everything was just the original cut . Now I see remasters , UK versions , Japanese versions and etc. I have some original albums that are just sublime and some that are , well not so much . I have heard three different versions of a Doors
CD that were all bad quality .
Does such a service exist ?
Thank You
