Default Re: First pressings

As I implied earlier, "Out of Copyight" material is nowadays just copied/dubbed off a CD or a File sourced from a CD or LP (which itself may have been a re-issue) so you are hearing 2nd or 3rd generation content. The companies issuing these will have no direct or legal access to the originals held by the 1st generation pressing companies EMI, Decca, Philips, Blue Note et al. Just how carefully these copies are made is the issue.
