RE: SEND NO MONEY: The rise and fall of the Columbia House record club — and how we learned to steal music

Posted by Iron Knee on November 11, 2011 at 11:17:55:
Having not yet read the article I can tell you that a significant difference in mastering and pressing of the Columbia house releases is heard. Fleetwood Mac 'Rumors' was so far off that it was shocking. This did it for me and I also strive to stay away from 'greatest hits' or remasters as the original album is the best source in so many cases.
