Other times you get part of the story, the most important part of which is, was the original master tape the source of whatever was used to do the cuttingwhether a high resolution (96/24) digital file or a 1:1 analog copy of the master, which is what some labels have to use if the tape's owner refuses to let it out the tape vault door. The quality of vinyl that consumers buy is actually the responsibility of the labels and not the pressing plants, labels should monitor what they are putting into the market and withdraw any faulty pressing runs, it's labels quality control that is failing vinyl, too many people skipping test presses or not even bothering to listen to them, As a newb vinyl listener (largely influenced my MF articles in Stereophile, thanks!)
