I Don't Like Remastered Music

Why is it impossible to find original masters of older records. I dont want to be obliged to these over compressed remasters all the time. I like dynamic music.

    I believe there is a thread somewhere that discusses this issue. I feel the same way. 

    Supposedly, not all original tracks are available to streaming services. 

    As well, I have read occasionally that not all remastered tracks are necessarily bad, and in fact sometimes better sounding on a well resolving system. Still, it would be nice to have the choice so we can decide what sounds best for us.
