Iggy mix on vinyl for the third time, see https://stoogesforum.forumotion.com/jesus-loves-the-stooges-f1/iggy-mix-of-raw-power-on-vinyl-t754.htm

This is pretty strange. My question is whether the Iggy mix is overly hot on vinyl like on CD. Anyone know?

My guess is that it can't possibly be as hot on vinyl or the stylus would jump like hell.

Jesus fucking Christ...talk about milking something to the hilt...

If it has the Iggymix in "undistorted" (if that even exists and the clipping was not already produced when mixing, i.e. pre-master ) ... I might consider buying it.

SWEET! This is now officially worth grabbing!

It sure looks better, but it's not certain the distortion is *not* present?

jpstooges, can you send me the vinyl track..? pretty-please

long time trawler, first time poster - hello!

the vinyl sample wav sure does look promising, although I'm pretty certain a vinyl issue in 2010 would come from a digital remaster, so in this case - bring on the listening party!

Welcome dfmb! You're probably right, but even made from the same source, a vinyl rip sounds different from the CD version (I didn't say it sounds better). If you want to check it out, here's a sample from S&D (30 sec of 1997 CD, then 30 sec of 2010 LP rip) (Dear HL, this is just a sample, please don't delete this post !)

My English is too bad to explain what I hear, but there's a difference between CD and vinyl (and I like vinyl more). But the cover of the 2010 2LP set sucks (looks like a 3rd generation scan):

On this topic JP, I'm assuming the vinyl version, while taken from the same master mixes as the CD version, might not be the same master. Going back to the S&D waveform, it's very similar to that of the Life Aquatic and Million In Prizes versions which are definitely the Iggy remixes. I don't know much about vinyl mastering but, as I understand it, it's a significantly different process from CD mastering. I believe the vinyl pressing is a completely different master but taken from the same mixes used for the Iggy remix CD.

Sorry if I'm being kinda redundant, I'm a little flustered at the moment. Just got to speak with a producer I've been trying to get in touch with for a while and my mind is still racing!

Ouch! Wall to wall clipping. Who mastered that CD? Looks like another victim of the old 'Red Hot Chilli Peppers' Loudness wars.

Ig was involved in the mastering of the CD. Supposedly that version is a hint less distorted than his initial master. The CD is actually considered the loudest release in existence, or at least it was in 1997.

Ugh! The loudness wars. I think that's why I hate so much music these days, almost everything sounds like crap now.

So, is the Sundazed vinyl release of RP taken fro the original Bowie mixes or from Iggy's?

The Sundazed pressing is the Bowie mix.

Interesting. So, with this 2 LP release and the Sundazed release all three versions are now available on vinyl.

What did Iggy say on the back? 'Everything's still in the red'. A very analogue idea. He could not know that that concept doesn't work in digital recording.

ElRoi. What do you mean? All three versions? Don't the 2LP and Sundazed both feature the same Bowie mix.

One guy John Diamond even claims that listening to digital audio makes people ill. Lou Reed apparently refuses to use compression at the mastering stage of his CDs.

Well, I assume that the Sundazed release came from the original mastering of the Bowie-mix and the 2 LP release is from the newly remastered Bowie mix along with the Iggy remastering, correct?
So that would be three different mastering versions. I may be wrong, but that is what I have gathered from all this.

is this really what the world needs, yet another version of raw power ?
this whole thing's strating to feel like some sort of pharce. maybe they should consider changing their name to the $tooges

Not really "another version," rather than both re-mastering's available on analog vinyl instead of digital CD. I don't really see this as some sort of money making farce, rather than giving people who like vinyl the opportunity to have one of the greatest albums of all time, in all its various sonic states and in the medium they prefer. Do you really think they are getting rich off of this? If you don't like it on moral grounds then don't buy it.
