Yours is an interesting response and it makes sense. When "The Wall" came out, it was engineered/mixed for vinyl not CD. Trying to take a modern day CD and simply transfer the same mix onto vinyl it would probably lose some audio qualities also.

Now that's got me thinking about what I own that was originally on CD first that I also have on vinyl to test that theory out.

Thanks. I first thought of it when I got George Strait’s box set on CD. I had listened to “All My Ex’s Live in Texas” about a million times on cassette, enough that every note was burned in my brain. When I heard it remastered on CD for the first time, I heard the harmony vocals behind George on the chorus...and it wasn’t necessarily a good thing. I realized that maybe I wasn’t supposed to hear that the whole time, that it was just there to boost the lead while going mostly unnoticed. On tape that subtlety was possible, but CD couldn’t strike that balance as originally recorded.
