I have the abc records' Teresa Teng 25th Anniversary labeled with Direct Metal Mastering (DMM) Vinyl Series 180gm Made In Germany that come with a CD version as well.<BR/><BR/>I feel cheated with the audiophile labeling of this LP and CD. The sound is colored and compressed. I have compared to the original LP and CD of the respective tracks either from Polydor HK or Taurus label and it's like day and nite. This ressue LP and CD by abc records sucks!!! Both these LP and CD are collecting dust!<BR/><BR/>My suspicion is remaster is done not using the orignal master from Polydor HK and Taurus? <BR/><BR/>No where in abc records mentioned the source, whether is original or otherwise? The website talks about HD-Mastering CD only, to me is useless - Garbage In Garbage Out.<BR/><BR/>For eg, Track 3 Side A of the album, Moon Represent My Heart, the RM80 (from Amcorp Mall) Teresa Polydor HK orignal LP version eat the abc version like biscuit:)<BR/><BR/>Track 3) Side B, "I care for you", compared to the original Taurus LP version, its like summer and winter:)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Go listen and compare, you sure get what I mean.<BR/><BR/>Listening is believing:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15183108.post-35446756374112566372008-09-19T12:54:00.000+08:002008-09-19T12:54:00.000+08:00ABC remastered terasa album better than XRCD versi...ABC remastered terasa album better than XRCD version.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15183108.post-84514419980453736892008-09-19T08:49:00.000+08:002008-09-19T08:49:00.000+08:00best of the best.best of the best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
