It’s just mostly bad quality control in my experience, not necessarily bad masters…I got a copy of UFOF recently and it’s in my “to clean” pile. I’ll give it a listen and let ya know.
funnily enough I just finished spinning UFOF 10 mins ago. The pressing I have sounds pretty damn good honestly, some passages can sound crowded perhaps but they’re outnumbered. I even wasn’t bothered by my Capacity pressing.
They're all the same plates from the looks of it, and the same barcode of course... Just due to cost I'll probably just have to go with whatever the currently available one is. Looks like it's MPO or unknown in terms of who pressed them. MPO can be good but man they love pressing stuff off centered.
