Binaural / Riot Act / Avocado Vinyl Re-Issues?

[Strat]

As I have an original Binaural on vinyl, I am looking forward to doing a side by side comparison with the new reissue (vinyl). This is absolutely my favorite album so....

I'd love to hear your report on this.

I can try - though I dont have the technical ear that you do!

My ears are likely no better than yours, I just have a better vocab to express what I'm hearing.

i think you just called me dumb.

I'll have to check when I get home but I'm pretty sure Lightning Bolt was a 44/24 release so it's basically the same as the CD.

CD would be 44/16 though.

Now I said basically, not exactly.

Which is why I love reading those posts.

I just feel like it's important to leave some sort of trail of crumbs for the future consumer to know the difference between a track sourced from a 44/24 download and a 44/16 CD.

This might be the most trag post of all time, considering you are assuming 99% of "future consumers" don't even know what you are talking about, but you say it like they all should.

Looks as though I won't be donating any of my hard earned money to your irrelevant ice cream venture.

All I'm saying is that do you think the people over at the Pit, or most PJ fans, for that matter, the ones who just smother themselves in everything band related, care about something like that? I just don't see it being the case. It is a small minority of people (mostly here on RM, lol) that take stuff like that seriously. And in this PRAMG era, it just seems like the band's focus is not on things like that as much. That much is obvious in the production of the last 3 albums, as well as all this re-release crap that is failing.

i can confirm that riot act from hdtracks is no different than the original, but there is no claim that this is the newly released version either. i will be waiting on binaural until i read some reviews, and about to just give up on trying to find these re-releases digitally anyhow. avocado was never even announced as going to be remixed (that i know of), or where the hell to download it, found it on my own. stupid that they cant even give you the direction where to find these as digital downloads.

Ouch man. You know I wasn't really trying to make you sound dumb, right? Your vinyl collection is way bigger than mine, and I have no doubt that you are regularly listening to music at a higher fidelity than I am (I'm typically just using AAC on my iphone). But I'm endlessly intrigued by how people convey their experiences in consuming art, because we all see/hear the same things, and then struggle to find the right words to share our experience. I was just suggesting that I have better verbage because I've spent a lot of time with the chuds of the world.

You grew up in a studio and you have plenty of knowledge regarding mixing, mastering, and recording techniques. I know what you meant. I was just poking you.

The avocado album was remixed for Vinyl, the rip going around is some sort of WEB rip.

I would like Pearl Jam to be more considerate and careful regarding these issues as well. Since i've gotten into the Vinyl and spending money on the entire setup - it would be fantastic if my favorite band in the world seemed to care as much as I do and other bands I love.

Im not a purist to the degree of only buying certain original pressings, but I should be able to count on them to deliver me a high quality vinyl product or at least provide me with an avenue where I can hear the highest quality recording.

I sense the slightest whiff of sarcasm.

I think you are inhaling your own smugness.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Nah, I hear you. It just pisses me off that one of the most successful and ROCKING bands of all time doesn't care about the details.

I would like to introduce Exhibit "A", a t-shirt sent to their fan club members, MANY OF WHOM THEN WORE THEM TO PEARL JAM CONCERTS:
