There is an earlier release of hers also released by RoG on an RSD that is terrific. I had a slight issue with the first I'd bought, but the sound was good enough that I found another. I think you can find them on sale in "post-RSD" bins. First record has a stronger soul, R&B. Great record.Been checking out a few of these tunes. They sound great, and I can just imagine how that might translate to a top-notch pressing. Thanks for the heads-up! I'd never heard of this artist before.
I have the KPG reissue and it’s pretty great also!All these mofo screaming about a $1K Mofi.
Have you really heard the magic of the OG 1970?
It's badass. Had a later year before but this is really good.

I hear you. For some things, though, money isn't a factor.$300+ however. Sooooo, that a no. For one third of that cost I'm willing to give this one a try. But in the future, who knows...
Pretty stuff!View attachment 165055
Man this thing looks untouched, the 2 posters, booklet, postcard look like they've never even been handled. Very curious to get this on the table. 1974, nuts.
Your reflection in the outer sleeve of DSOTM feels like a Rorschach test. I see the painting The Scream.View attachment 165055

Sorry yes that was taken by NIGHTMather in his ethereal black smoke form.Your reflection in the outer sleeve of DSOTM feels like a Rorschach test. I see the painting The Scream.
Fuck that. I live for maple syrup and maple flavored anything. One Canuck insult, and I’m aboot to have bad maple juju forever. Also, I learned from that Letterkenny documentary series how “nice” Canadians manage anger:

This one?Not to burst any bubbles here (any record that sounds good is ok and competing for a 'holy grail' pressing is IMO a fool's errand) - but - if one is going Japanese for Dark Side, the Toshiba Pro-Use is the gold standard and still holds up today. And it is the quietest pressing of any.
That it is.This one?
Haven't played it in a while. Good time to spin it.
My name is Jason and I have 4 copies of DSOTM.
Haven't bought a copy this year so I'm on a good rode to recovery

I stopped with a '73 US Wally pressing.That it is.
Before you start your recovery, which I wish you well with (there will inevitably be relapses), you may want to check out the equally excellent Pro-Use Abbey Road.
Now I feel the need to find the pro use dark side. I have 3 versions already….I stopped with a '73 US Wally pressing.
I think it was the most crankable rock sounding pressing and least expensive ( go figure)
I do agree the JP Pro is incredibly quiet.

I would not chase it TBH. Get a really clean Wally and smile.Now I feel the need to find the pro use dark side. I have 3 versions already….
