In Reply to: then DVD Audio would be a scam. posted by Duilawyer on January 11, 2007 at 11:46:52:
...according to the fansite, there are no master tapes in existence from the recording sessions. The only source left is the mother. The mother isn't just an old record. It's what the stampers that make the records are made from. So, saying that the DVD-A was made from an "old record" is rather hyperbolic, don't you think?BTW, there are a lot of commercial CDs out there made from mothers, and even off-the-shelf records, because tapes no longer exist (or never existed).
I wouldn't buy this disc because I'm not much of an Elvis fan; however, if someone is an Elvis fan, it might be a good buy because a DVD-Audio made from the mother is probably going to be as good as can be got from these old recordings.
