Yeah sure. The remaster comment was an example of how one recording can be better than another but obviously the original recording can be as or much more important. Close mic in a booth is a terrible way to record vocals IMO but almost all recordings do that! My comments are purely about SQ not artistic merit. Most of my favourite music isn't recorded that well and I put up with it!
