Ryko pressing has a sound more modern, with more body. It seems a remastered! and yes. A good remastered.


CD, 1990 (Ryko)

PS: I was listening to the Spanish pressing but I changed to the Ryko. Why?

02 Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed I heard it a bit shrill, unpleasant. Now it is better without any doubt!

Direct metal mastering - Wikipedia

Overview

The advantages of DMM (hard surface material) over acetate lacquer cutting (soft surface material) are both sonic and practical: because of the rigidity of the master disc medium, no groove wall bounce-back effects take place after the cutting has been completed. This preserves the original modulation details in the groove walls much better, especially those involved with sudden fast attacks (transients).

The improved transient response, as well as the more linear phase response of DMM improve the overall stability and depth-of-field in the stereo image. In addition, disturbing adjacent groove print-through sounds (groove echoes) are reduced in DMM.

Also, there is no need to rush the finalized master disc directly into a refrigerator for groove preservation, as in conventional lacquer disc cutting, before processing the master disc to produce matrices for the pressing of the records...

The years pass and they continue without being moved. What good is so much vocal virtuosity if emotion is not transmitted?

With such good material/songs it is a sin.

It is a special vinyl recording: Direct to disk

Direct-to-disc recording - Wikipedia

Advantages

Technically, direct-to-disc recording is believed to result in a more accurate, less noisy recording through the elimination of up to four generations of master tapes, overdubs, and mix downs from multi-tracked masters. The method bypasses problems inherent in analog recording tape such as tape hiss...
