"The Harder They Come" Jimmy Cliff LP on Simply Vinyl

Can anyone comment on the sound quality of "The Harder They Come" reissued soundtrack LP (Jimmy Cliff et al.) on the Simply Vinyl label?

Thanks.

 

Anyone? This release must be someone's else radar, other than just me.

 

Why should the fixed version (are you referencing the CD here?) be the one to avoid Steve?

 

Are all digital versions fixed? BTW, I picked up an original copy of the CD for 6 bucks.

 

I understand that there is only one digital version of the soundtrack available so you're good!

 

That can't be right, can it? I had a single disc club CD, probably from the '90s, and then gave it away when the 2-CD Deluxe Edition came out. I'm assuming the latter is a remastering, no?

Then there would have to be one or more Japan and UK digital versions as well, I'd imagine.

If you can prove me wrong, I'd be interested in seeing the evidence, of course!

 

That is incorrect. There are at least three different masterings. Details and continued discussion here: http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threa...-pleasant-surprise.172329/page-2#post-8879921

Yes. There are at least three masterings, see the thread I linked.

 

Thank you for pointing this out but what I understand from reading about this is that they are still using the original digital transfer of the recording...

 

Get the Artisan orig sounds excellent.

 

Have you compared it to the STERLING cut?

 

The 1990 Mango is the one to get per our host. I agree.

 

I agree. That or the Mango CD. I heard the Simply Vinyl on a friend's system and it sounded lifeless to me. Avoid it.

 

I didn't feel the need once I determined that the Artisan cut preceded the Sterling, and the stellar sound of that original.
