LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Bob Dylan says the quality of
modern recordings is "atrocious," and even the songs on
his new album sounded much better in the studio than on
disc.

Arny, you got a problem wid dat?
No problem, I probably would agree with him, if we both
sat down and auditioned the same recordings.
I think that the quality of many modern CD reissues of
recordings origionally issued on CD in the early-mid 80s
is atrocious because of the dynamic range compression
that also seems to be endemic in modern releases these
days.
The Dylan SACD hybrid box is still available at
yourmusic, sixteen discs for under $100 plus tax.
No doubt listed under "dead formats".
No, "box sets." :-) As players are available and these SACDs exist,
there's no reason someone interested in the collection shouldn't take
advantage.
So, do these recordings have their dynamics compressed or not?
Probably no more so than the masters. Certainly not the modern crunchy
loudness compression some of us dislike.
