I have plenty of these situations, too. Straight from AS or Mofi or whoever, and they have weird shading and marks that aren’t scuffs but look like scuffs. And I can’t hear a thing from them.

Exactly. Like I want to return them for "clean" copies but they sound good so might as well hang on to them.

Cisco? That thong-tha-thong-thong-thong Cisco?
Aren’t Cisco the people who make the junk routers and modems your internet provider gives you?

Cisco had albums? Plural? Thought it was just that single.

they also made what many consider to be one of the best sounding pressings of Aja!

That leads to an interesting question.
If you get terrible music and give it to a great mastering engineer and press it beautifully on fancy PVC, does the music stop being terrible?

@Joe Mac , I think @jamieanderson1968 nailed it, lol
That being said, we're again leaning on personal preferences. While I like Steely Dan quite a bit, I'd be hard pressed to go crazy, on Aja especially, when the mastering of the original pressing is done so well to begin with AND you can still find them at a reasonable cost. But, I did want to grab the One Step of The Nightfly..........so go figure

But back to Cisco, I have the pressing of The Guess Who - American Woman that they did and it's pretty killer.

Yeah, but times have changed (lol!), and, compared to other prices charged for nice releases, I think it’s still a good buy @ $39 if you like the album (and I do, a lot). It sounds great.

yep and median is $85 on discogs. MoFi had a huge turnaround in terms of desire-ability. their pressings used to be around for years. i got the MoFis of In A Silent Way and Sketches of Spain for $20-$25 each on amazon a few years ago because they had trouble selling.

Anyone compared this to the KG 2016 release? I have that one, but haven't bought a record in 5 days so my credit card is tingling.

i don't have the 2016 KG (I know....shocker), but this one does sound awesome.

Interesting since this is one of the upcoming SuperVinyl releases, if I’m not mistaken. I really don’t get all the different pressings (ahem, looking to you “I, Robot”) but people keep buying them lol

i'd probably rather have this pressing for $40 than spend the extra $20 for a supervinyl.

For sure, but it’s still a bit puzzling.
