So is it a "flat transfer" of the original master tape what we want to hear or do we want to hear what the mastering engineer did to the original master tape back in the day? While still hit or miss if you get an original pressings of an LP's signed in the dead wax by the original mastering engineer at least you know he was working with original master tapes and made adjustments he thought sounded good. While not necessarily the best sounding versions at least the signed original pressings are what people heard back in the day which I find interesting and one reason I enjoy collecting and listening to LP's.
