i’m making this thread because i’ve gone through a multitude of kanye records trying to find the best sounding versions so you don’t have to
College Dropout - 2016 Reissue (TML-M in the deadwax
Late Registration- 2016 Reissue (avoid the original like the plague)
Graduation - Bootleg from Holland
808s - i have both the original and the reissue and the reissue sounds miles better than the original
(MASTERED BY CAPTIOL in the deadwax)
MBDTF - 2016 Reissue (TML-M in the deadwax) avoid the original this one is mastered better
WTT - Original press only option you have so far for this album
Cruel Summer- Bootleg from Holland
Yeezus - 2018 UK DJ Promo Bootleg (Mastered from the iTunes master but sounds phenomenal)
TLOP - 2018 UK DJ Promo Bootleg (contains Saint Pablo and is the most recent master and once again sounds phenomenal for being a bootleg)
Ye - Standard first pressing with STERLING in deadwax, later reprints have pressing problems
KSG - see above, STERLING in deadwax
hope this helps
