For my money I find that many AP 45s are better to my ears than Mofi 45s

Now I really want to watch a video of you comparing any MoFi Steely Dan reissues against these new AP ones…
That’s the only one I have from her, but it’s really good - the best sounding Big Thief on wax. She might be a name to watch for the future.
Although, are we sure it’s not just Carrie Brownstein moonlighting as a mastering engineer??

I have the 20th on the way so I can if no one else can. I want to say @JohnnyCashFan had a comparison link too?

Revolver was the first record I ordered from Record City. I got the ODEON 60's pressing in stereo. Could use a bath in one of those sonicator machines but It's otherwise quite excellent.

I saw that etching but didn't realize it was essentially a signature. I completely agree Grizzly Man and the latest Big Thief sound great. She's an up and comer for sure!

From Discogs?
Mines a 74 Apple Records, also stereo. No idea if it's thought to be good or bad. But it's completely mint. Like one pop on the whole thing.
Yep.

I’m with @Mather in that I tend to like AP better even though I have WAY more MoFis (84 MoFis vs 39 APs). But it’s a bit of a toss up and I’d say they are comparable plus you get the actual album art with AP. Do you have any of the AP 45s? The Skynyrds are awesome.
AP and MoFi are some of the top tier with Impex slightly behind for me, but mostly because I don’t have many Impex and they don’t seem to have a big catalogue. I’m not a huge fan of the 45 format as most of you probably know…I’m skipping out on those Steely Dan reissues because I’m not a huge fan of those albums. But I’d grab some of the earlier albums for sure.

Obviously not replying specifically to your question to someone else, but Ella seems to list on both Discogs and eBay, and the Discogs prices are better (not surprisingly). I’m not aware of another way to order from them.
I’ve got these 3 items on the way from Ella.

I don’t know, but can you get more Portland than looking like exactly Carrie, being a vinyl mastering engineer, and wearing what looks like a Nirvana x Sub Pop x Trail Blazers mashup shirt?

Also the name “Amy Dragon” has gotta be a pseudonym.

Plan on giving it a spin on Sunday. Glad to hear that it maintains the reputation of the series.The new Acoustic Sounds series Duke Ellington meets Coleman Hawkins sounds spectacular. Highly recommended. Disappointments shall be none.
Does it ever! I can’t speak for others, but for me, this is the best reissue series out there. And this particular release…

This thing is seriously impressive…really great sound quality too. Would have no clue it’s from a digital source.
