Sometimes you see these so called cd acetates for sale on ebay. They are advance promos of a new album and sometimes they say "unmastered" on them. What exactly does this mean? Are they simply a straight copy of the master tape with no other tinkering??
I've been meaning to ask this question also. I bought an unmastered copy of Shivaree - I Oughtta Give you a Shot in the Head for Making Me Live in this Dump. It sounds fantastic and has different versions than on the final version. If anyone that could shine light on this topic it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Aaron
