While the LPs were likely cut from a 24-bit master (possibly 96kHz) the experience for human ears, given the mastering was the same, will be virtually identical. Certainly A Northern Soul comes off as a bit more polished and focused, yet in the same breath, it contains very fragile elements, and why shouldn’t it, the songs sound like they barely hang together, as if they and the band could evaporate at any moment. That music is drug infused psychedelia with absolutely no restrain, an ode to this senseless shitty life filled with disillusions, pains, absurdities & broken hearts; but regained thru the haze of the incredible guitar riffs of Nick McCabe who's influence on the band's compositions, directions & sound was very strong before being castrated by a (on his way to become) megalomaniac Richard Ashcroft; megalomania that will kill the extraordinary band's identity; only this record remains to testify that those four guys touched the sky and above.

Would I have got the same nostalgia and feeling from this film if I didn't? Excellent release. Use the HTML below. Sounds great to me cannot imagine how much better the original could have sounded

If you're not one of the lucky few (I put myself in that bracket - not through talent but by being in the right place at the right time), 'social mobility' is but a pipe dream. I have my doubts - and at times you could see Steve's frustration pouring out. Drawn from a never-before-seen cache of personal footage spanning decades, this is an intimate portrait of the Sri Lankan artist and musician who continues to shatter conventions. "A Northern Soul" is their masterpiece, this evidence seems to surface lately; mags like Stylus expressed the same opinion in a very beautiful article I posted 10 days ago or so.
