I'm not sure exactly where it is in the lineup.
Rumor is Eagles are next.

I bet they're good.
The '75 Stereo Reissue of Bitches Brew I grabbed sounds pretty good that I probably will not splurge on the one step.
If Sketches can come in under $100 and I get it on a decent sale in the future, I may bite.

Thanks for a reminder. I have almost all of them going back to the 80s.

I bought a mosaic box a while back and the seller threw in a load of those catalogs (the ones with the "coming soon", etc). Really cool.

how can the Thriller one step have 40k copies from one master tape? MoFi and other labels owe it to people to be more transparent with sourcing, especially on $100+ LPs.For those of us who are lazy…care to summarize ?
It's kind of an argument people have been making for decades now....these guys are just trying to put pressure on the companies to do so.

I only watched the 45 video, but he essentially is asking how they can do 40K one-steps if they can only use a stamper for 750-1000 presses. So he asks: are they going back to the master 60/70 times to make stampers?For those of us who are lazy…care to summarize ?

All kidding aside, these are all valid questions and boil down to what we often chase around here, transparency. And I'm on board with one simple fact that was brought up, if I'm going to drop $100+ on an album, no matter how pretty you make the box look, I'd like to know the source AND how it was used. The problem is there is too much grey area and word play.

As someone who refuses to purchase anything even remotely associated with Michael Jackson I'm just kicking back with my feet up enjoying all this "drama"

Is it possible to make multiple stampers from one spin of the tape?
Not with their one-step process. In the one-step process 1 lacquer = 1 stamper. Normal process yes. That is what the mothers are for. This kind of explains.

His swooning over Thriller was a bit weird, but my point was more about the process and transparency than the album.

Theoretically, I guess you could be running the master tape out to multiple lathes cutting lacquers at the same time. But I'm sure there's some sort of sonic degradation or issue that could occur.
Good point. Zero idea if MFSL has this capability. They've never done a one-step in that volume before. 10k I think is the largest run so far. It would be nice to get some transparency on how they plan to do it though.
