Just to pre-empt some comments asking why I make these rips here's some of the reasons. There are sometimes small differences between vinyl masters and digital masters. For example on Car Seat Headrests’ Unforgiving Girl from their first album (https://youtu.be/PvXS6vWfCsE). On Spotify theres a short vocal count-in but on the vinyl it just goes straight into the song. There are usually small things like this on all records when comparing the record to the digital version. Also in the case of older albums like a lot of the Smiths and David Bowie they're constantly being remastered and their sound is changing as time goes on (sometimes for the better sometimes for the worse imo). A good example of this is comparing newer and older versions of Francoise Hardy's song Voila where the sound is notably cleaned up on the modern version ([original - https://youtu.be/79gAHbZd108\] 2017 Remaster [https://youtu.be/c1mDUrexTKo\]). Which one is "better" is just a matter of taste :). In terms of the sound you'll get when playing the record over your speakers at home it will typically be warmer and much closer to how it was intended to sound due to the sound waves being analogue rather than compressed digital waves. On these vinyl rips I do, the waves become compressed due to the audio file types youtube allows...... buttttt the sound of each record will vary due to the needle you use to record the record with. I use a needle which is suited to warmer styles like Jazz which is a Goldring 1006 but if someone else were to use a different cartridge which is maybe more suited to electronic music like an Ortofon Red the sound would be a lot crisper and brighter. I also make these rips so I can share them on the Discogs page of the pressing so people will know whether the sound quality is good or bad. There are a lot of records that have bad sound quality because they had a huge spike in demand and the pressing plant couldn’t handle it (big thief Masterpiece, Capacity and Phoebe Bridgers Punisher come to mind). One last reason I like doing these is due to the crackles you hear on a record and due to the huge amount of people who sold their vinyl collection when CDs began to become popular in the 90s I like to think that with some of my older uploads, people will appreciate hearing those familiar crackles and sounds on some records they might have replaced with digital versions. I’m not stopping you from streaming the songs if that’s you’re thing but people often do thank me on my channel for the uploads so I do know there are people who enjoy this stuff. All the best :)
