All this Marley talk figured I'd share this!
Did some digging online after getting the Rastaman UHQR to see which pressings are best for the rest of the catalog. Seemed to be mostly arguments between German Box or UK, Japanese, or German first pressings. Well this was the cheapest of all of them. Vinyl is just as quite as the UHQR (no joke) and sounds incredible! Kaya is an amazing album btw.
Anyway, highly recommend original Japanese Marley. This is my first vintage Japanese pressing (other than some Beatles MoFis) and I'm super impressed by it in every aspect.

This is a prime example, imo, why obis are not simply a throw-away item.

Yea this one is rad. Was thinking that myself. I‘m not usually one to want to pay extra for a record just to get the Obi but checked discogs just to see how much this pressing is and found myself skipping over the listings that said no obi

@Oldwhitelincoln11 AS now has exodus up available for backorder. I’m assuming they will cancel some orders for multiple purchases so more may go up for sale

a prime contender for a remix. I’m honestly surprised it hasn’t happened. The album is just terribly mixed with vocals buried, drums panned way right and too loud. Does anyone have the original mono singles? Mono is definitely the way to go but even that isn’t great (I have the RSD edition from a few years back that was better than an early mono pressing). Essential album nonetheless.Craft has a new AAA press of Born Under A Bad Sign up for order.

one of the top comments on an instagram post about Albini's Steely Dan rant was something like "Albini is a 60 year old professional poker player. he's a real-life Steely Dan song."

Okay which one of you did this?
That was really funny . . . until I had the sad self-realization that I know who all the people mentioned are, and the first song that came to mind wasn’t Marley’s Exodus but, instead, Beck’s Loser.

oh my god
Can't happen. Most Atlantic multi-tracks from this era are gone, the infamous Atlantic storage unit fire.
Born Under A Bad Sign has been done.
Live Wire - Blues Power is the masterpiece that needs a solid reissue. A truly seminal album.

First spin of the Kirsten Edkins was magnificent, really blew me away. What a gorgeous album, and the recording really is top of the top.
Can’t wait for more!!

Got mine in today along with the Intervention pressing of Gene Clark’s White Light. Haven’t had a chance to spin Edkins yet. The Clark is really fantastic though!

Anyone know what the best pressing of Ananda Shankar's self titled debut is?
