TWO AGAINST NATURE ON VINYL?
Below is WB's text written for a recent newsletter
There have been questions now and again about the prospect of vinyl
pressings of the "Two Against Nature" album. We have not mastered such a
disc as of this time and so anything that you see out there along these
lines is an unauthorized version. Such a pressing would
incorporate all the limitations of digital audio (frequency response limit,
converter artifacts, etc.) plus all the limitations of vinyl (phase shift,
limited frequency response, noise, distortion, etc.). Also, such a
pressing would also not have been done by us and so the aesthetic
compromises made to master the album to vinyl would represent someone
else's taste and judgement (or the lack thereof) and so I suggest you give
this one a miss.
However, at the time the album was mixed, a set of high quality analog
master mixes was made along with the digital ones, and, knowing that some
people still prefer the vinyl format, we are exploring the idea of using
these tapes to make a vinyl pressing at some time in the future. We'll
keep you posted on this possibility as time goes on.
