Vinyl Vintage VS Modern - Dire Straits - LOVE OVER GOLD
Today we have a listen in-depth to 6 of the 14 copies of Dire Straits 'Love Over Gold' I bought in a massive Battle Royale.

Six original pressings are compared: the USA Bill Kipper mastered OG, the 1982 Japanese, the Aussie 'light aliens' OG, the Aussie MAXICUT II cut, a Dutch original with Howie Weinberg mastering, and the UK orange label Vertigo 1st pressing with both HW and Robert Ludwig mastering.

Each pressing audio edit was first volume matched using Foobar2000 in FLAC format, before being used in the final video, so the only differences you're hearing are from the mastering production itself.
