If anyone heard any more about the audiophile version I would love to hear some more details other than 2xLP 45RPM, which is all they say. My VMP version is poppy as hell. Although, splitting it to 2xLP for a 31 minute album is pretty silly. I'd rather they do an audiophile 33.
From the announcement email:
We recently found the original master tapes for Mother Earth’s Plantasia, recorded by Mort Garson in 1976, and thought to be lost for more than 40 years. Although Mort had kept and stored a large amount of his analog tapes over the years, they were often in large unorganized batches. While initial versions of our reissue of the album were taken from a carefully transferred mint copy of the original vinyl pressing, we were fortunate to finally discover the original master tapes while going through a surprise box of Mort Garson tapes that turned up much later than the first archive we had access to. An unremarkable mislabeled tape in an unmarked box turned out to contain the stereo master recordings of Mother Earth's Plantasia. All forthcoming versions of the record will be pressed from a new, pristine remaster of these original tapes.
So it sounds like even the preorder for the single 33rpm LP will be a new remaster from the original master tapes...
