CDs with songs mastered from vinyl

Aaron, I do own two, mint Atlantic promo 12" singles for "I Can't Wait", and I also own a never-been-played 45 on its original, small-label issue (Poolside 1001). Maybe better sound can be found here somewhere, although Andy's "Oregon home recording turned smash" comment is 100% correct, and those nasty "artifacts" could really and truly be found everywhere for this one - we'll see.

Speaking of the Have A Nice Day series, if I'm not mistaken, Cyndi Greco's "Making Our Dreams Come True" is mastered from vinyl.

Todd Ireland wrote: 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 have to wonder if the master tapes for Gallery's "Sussex" label-mates, Wadsworth Mansion, are also missing. I have the faded and cold-ending versions of the 45 version of "Sweet Mary" on Rhino's "Super Hits of the '70s Volume 4" and Varese Sarabande's "Dick Bartley Presents Collector's Essentials: On the Radio Volume 4", respectively, and both master this song from vinyl.

Does anyone know of a CD that masters this song from a tape source?

I recently purchased the various artist CD Smooth Grooves: Cruisin' Classics (Rhino 78263) in hopes that the complete "hit" 45/LP length of Tierra's "Together" was mastered from a tape source. Much to my disappointment, the song was dubbed from noisy vinyl. Has anyone been able to acquire the stereo 4:24 length on CD that isn't mastered from a record?

Aaron:

I have "Making Our Dreams Come True" on the Tube Tunes Volume One - The '70s CD (Rhino 71910) and it sounds like Rhino was able to secure a tape source for the mastering on this CD.
