Board 8 > If a musician is going to put out a remaster of an album in a few months...

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm a fan of David Gray. I don't have his stuff on iTunes. I'd like to listen to it on my phone while I'm at work.

However, it turns out that he's releasing a 20 year anniversary remaster of his first album early next year. I'd like to buy that, but it doesn't make sense to buy the first album and then the remaster just a few months later.

If you were in a similar position (just pretend that instead of David Gray it was someone you enjoyed listening to), would you just buy both, buy the original one now, or wait for the remaster?

i would use a music streaming service because its 2019 or buy one and pirate the other

this. Then maybe buy the remaster when it comes out.

Cant you just buy his other albums aside from the first one and then buy the remaster when it releases

I can't fully answer because of lacking details. If the remaster costs more but is just marginally higher audio quality then no. If it has bonus content then yes. Considering the way you're talking about listening to it, buy the cheapest/most readily available version if the new one has no extras. I cannot think of how the audio could be much clearer on a perceptible level since you're going to down scale it anyway to listen on your phone.
