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?
Of the masters? Of course not.
No silly, of the recordings. If the dynamics are
objectionably compressed then you would be able to hear
it if you had any real-world experience with the
recordings, right?
Certainly not the
modern crunchy loudness compression some of us
dislike.
There is no guarantee of that.
No, there isn't, but secondary sources lead me to
believe it.
Other sources tell an entirely different story. So now
we're down to dueling secondary sources.
Let's be clear.
OK, here's the OP's reference, again:

Dylan was not talking about *HIS* remastered recordings.
"Well, why not? It ain't worth nothing anyway."
Thats what Dylan said about modern recordings.
A DJ in town said his concert last weekend was terrable. He could not understand a word
out of Dylans mouth.
