Definitive Audiophile pressings

[Ghost]

Might spring for that Simon & Garfunkle. Does anyone own it? Worth the moolah?

 

[wmeugene]

me too. Big Brother is the only tempting one. I was hoping it wasn't Blond on Blond this week hah

I'll say that Big Kev did a mono that's available for $20. Boom Boom knocked it out of the park as usual, not tempted by the mofi.

For Big Brother? If so, I'll probably pick that one up eventually. I prefer the 33s over 45 in most cases.

Yeah, Cheap Thrills.

Word is the sundazed is better and can be had for cheaper. I researched them last year.

My dylan and the band came in such shitty condition. 2 for 2 on mofis lately from them and music coming with massive seam splits. This one has them on the top and side and huge corner ding. No way Im accepting that on a $50 album. Sucks that theres likely no possibility of a replacement too.

Damn. I was surprised that my Santana and Dylan/TheBand both arrived without any seam splits this time. Did you order directly from MoFi or MD out of curiosity? If it is just the sleeves, they might have extras for ya. Fingers crossed. Someone mentioned you can ask MoFi to double box for you.

Also weird to have a "Part 1" without a part 2 so that's probably why I accidentally wrote Part 2 hah

Another winner from Boom Boom came today:

The Guess Who - American Woman

I think it's my first Cisco album but this thing sounds awesome. Apparently some of the pressings had a weird white streaky looking residue on the vinyl but it doesn't affect play at all so got this one for a good deal from Acoustic Sounds directly on discogs.

Will MoFi not take them out of the jackets for you, if you ask? Far more effective than double boxing.

Not sure. They probably would if you ask?

 

[dhodo]

Not sure. They probably would if you ask?

I would hope so. The only foolproof way to prevent seam splits in my opinion.

Unfortunately some retailers refuse, like Music Direct. Haven't ordered from them in years though, so maybe they have changed. I think Soundstage even had a box to click before they disappeared.

Mofi for this one. So hopefully thats the case

Ditto, that was the only one I paused on for a minute, but passed.

I have Big Brother, it's good but from what I've heard the Mono RSD is very close and about a third of the price.

 

[Mr Moustache]

Yep, same here.

 

[Joe Mac]

Also just looking at that list. Has any audiophile label ever put out another record by as terrible an act as twisted sister? Bring back the Canadian dude who pressed an audiophile de Burgh, all is forgiven!
