- Right before Christmas it became known that A.Beat-C would release its entire catalogue online in 2021. Those are great news, but I was a bit disappointed to learn that the reissues would not be taken from the master tapes, but rather be sampled from vinyl. I must admit that the sound quality is quite good for vinyl, but I cannot ignore the distorted ‘s’ sounds and occasional clicks/pops, as well as the faint crackling sound as the tracks fade out. To be fair I have heard far worse, but I just do not understand why the master tapes were not chosen as the source instead. I sure hope it is not because they have been lost. I must also stress that the cover artworks look fantastic, so this project was probably not done in a hurry.
Whilst I will buy my favourite maxis once they come out, I still hope that new versions taken from the original master tapes (no matter if the tape is analogue or digital) will be released eventually.
