I've ceased being surprised at how *bad* a lot of dubs are that people cream over. The old "Original Master Recordings" boot is a great example. Then again, so are many of the things I've heard coming from some people over at SH.tv.
Yeah, it was amazing how many people drooled all over themselves re. OMR. Belmo wrote in one of his books that you could hear the musicians' fingers on the strings of their guitars....[i]isn't that amazing[/b]? Three CDR copies later, I still hadn't found one that didn't have the hilarious phazing glitches throughout With the Beatles, and that didn't have some of the heaviest click reduction I had ever heard.
Re ATMP, though, Chris's rip is really fairly good. It's the version I listen to nowadays.
(generally, I save myself from this particular comparison problem by only doing vinyl rips of titles that nobody wants. Yeah, my version of the mono Let's Live For Today might not be a sonic orgasm, but if anybody wanted it, they'd have no choice in the matter. Score!)
