I'll start off the thread...
On Tommy Boy's Hip Hop Essentials Vol. 1, the song "Supersonic" by JJ Fad is taken from a very poor vinyl source. (Pure laziness on the part of the producer, since this track has appeared on numerous discs from tape source.) |

All CDs with the song "Rocky" by Austin Roberts are mastered from vinyl, as the Private Stock master tape (like many from that label) was lost/destroyed.

"Uh! Oh! (Part 2)" by The Nutty Squirrels on SMSP's "Fun Rock" is definitely from vinyl... you can plainly hear the crackles through headphones.

There has been a recent thread on the Steve Hoffman forum where he indicates that "Surfin' Bird" on the DCC Beach Classics CD was mastered from a 45 (using Wesson Oil, no less), and that no master exists. This implies that all CD appearances of this song were mastered from vinyl.

On the Casablanca Record Box Set, the 12" version of "Flashdance...What A Feeling" by Irene Cara sounds crackly in quiet sections. I suspect this means vinyl noise, unless my CD is in poor condition.

I posted this one a long time ago on another thread... Vanity Fare's "Early in the Morning" appears to have been mastered from vinyl on the various artist CDs: Super Hits of the 70's Volume 1 (Rhino 70921) and History of Rock Volume 6 (Collectables 5066). I detect groove distortion at times on higher frequencies such as "s" sounds and crackling is evident during the fadeout.
If I had to guess, all CD appearances to date are probably mastered from vinyl. If that's indeed the case, does anyone know if master tapes still exist for "Early in the Morning"? Edited by Todd Ireland |

Earlier this year, there was a discussion on the Both Sides Now message board (www.bsnpubs.com) claiming that most, if not all, CD appearances of Gallery's three Top 40 singles are mastered from vinyl. In fact, it was our own EdisonLite who initiated the discussion and wondered why all three Gallery songs appearing on the Rhino Super Hits of the 70's CD series came from vinyl sources. I haven't had a chance to re-listen to those CDs yet, but I will when I get a chance.

What does Wesson Oil do? Is this a mastering trick, or am I missing a joke? |

Ever since it's been available on CD, sounds like "Skyhigh" from Jigsaw is mastered from vinyl. Especially in the opening 3 seconds or so.
