Second guessing? Listening? Does it matter if you don't know?

i was hoping for a less cuntish less humorous answer. does it matter? why the fuck would i bother to ask otherwise? this is not because i hate 26 mixes for cash, genuinly i would like to know.
a lot of 80s albums are being "remastered" this yr i want to know if ppl are being ripped off or not.
i appreciate i'm a fucking idiot 99% of the time, i was hoping for a genuine answer on this one. thanks.

I was being silly as it's obvious it doesn't matter as you can't tell the difference. You can't guess how anything was intended to sound.

Ah ffs and to answer your question: i don't know. I don't think you can unless it's a bootleg of a proper release and you can actually compare stuff.

it DOES matter to me russ. this isn't about being an anal idm wanker, this is about a technical side to music. it's a genuine question, not an opinion i'm after.

And feel free to explain why it matters to you, appart from wanting to be sure you listen to the highest quality possible.

no, it's ok, i guess i didn't express myself in the right way. And i should've realised the replys that i got.
*deep breath*
i'm after a technical answer. i blame WARP for the replies so far. Wankers.

not to say i'm not against it, totally i am. over the past 2 years there have been numerous releases that apparently have been sourced from soulseek users. it's about time this stopped. i'm in contact with several labels and involved with court cases over edsel & salvo fabricating "mastering". and this week i get another one from demon.
for me it's fucking disgusting. if you pay for a product that (well, at least) states what it does on the sleeve, you're entitled to the best quality of what is available, not just what they can afford.
there's a band who released a cd last week and (apparently) nealry half of it was sourced from mp3s. i want proof.
and no im not a lawyer!

this is about misrepresentation, but it's also about quality.

yes, there's definitely software out there to do this. just ask around on torrenting forums, people are always griping about whether a file really is one bit rate or another.
it's called spectrum analyzation - mp3s cut out certain frequencies, and by looking at the frequencies present in your file you can see what it was sourced from.

How do they remaster tracks is you exact question I think..is that even possible without using computers nowadays?

Well how did they find out about the 26 Mixes ones? Use the same thing, what hedphukkerr says.
I have both boxes of Sapphire & Steel by the way, but then I would.
I've made a mint reselling Retape's album under my own name on Bandcamp, but that's another matter.
