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.
So you have no actual practical knowlege?
Certainly not the
modern crunchy loudness compression some of us dislike.
There is no guarantee of that.
