Very jealous of those Max Romeo albums! War Ina Babylon has been on my want list for ages!

I was happy to find it both the Romeo and Junior Murvin have been on my list for awhile as well. Unfortunately, I think only readily available copies that have been available recently have been shitty 4 Men With Beards Reissues.

“Shitty” isn’t even half accurate when it comes to 4MWB. Literally mastered from CDs.
 
A few recent grabs in an order from Aux 33 Tours in MTL.

I think @avecigrec will appreciate a few of these since I discovered them because of his recommendations.

This was pretty solid order quality-wise. My quick needle drops suggest that the Kokoroko and Wu-Lu are excellent, quiet pressings.

Was pleasantly surprised to see that the Kiwi Jr. is pressed at RTI with a cut by JJ Golden. Needle drops are extremely promising here as well. Very quiet for a crystal clear vinyl. I believe @TenderLovingKiller® is a fan. Did you pick this up yet?

The only disappointment is the Aretha. I can tell the KPG@CA cut is very good, but GZ did their patented GiZZ Crackle(TM) number on it. Maybe this will clean out, but just by the way it sounds, my hopes are not high (sounds more like their usual baked-in crackle than dust or static).

Nice gets!!!

That's very disappointing to hear about the disservice done to Aretha. No bueno.

I really need to pick up that Wu-Lu! I've put it down or removed from cart at least 4 or 5 times now to grab something else instead. Ridiculous.

Playing it now... pressing is very very nice! Looks like it's from Optimal. Very crankable.
