Definitive Audiophile pressings

[jamieanderson1968]

Feels a bit weird to say this with this album, but Pink Flag by Wire, the 2018 repress is really good. I'm sure an OG would have a bit more of that raw punk feel, this is definitely very... clean. But man it's got good dynamics, good stage, punchy and it's dead quiet. Optimal pressed. And the jacket and inner are actually decent quality. Really nice for only about $30 CAD. Very impressed
@yukbon this update is for you.

Yup, this and 154 and Chairs Missing all sound very good. All digital but mastered nicely and pressed well.

They played the dumb punks but were all intelligent musicians. They signed with EMI because they knew they would get access to great studios and engineers

What was the final cost for this from Tuff Gong, after shipping?

For me it was $288 for both shipped

RIGHT?! SO WHERE IS MY GOTDAMN GRACELAND YOU COWARDS

I've got a Graceland that I could sell you for $125.

@Mather I’ll sell you my Graceland for a hundred and throw in the enhanced cd anniversary version.

They are doing Monk with Coltrane too it seems. Crazy it’s $40 though but I guess that’s the going rate for something like this…

Thelonious Monk With John Coltrane Thelonious Monk/John Coltrane - Thelonious Monk With John Coltrane [LP] - Amazon.com Music

This is one of those I’ll hold out for 6 months!

The one that comes with an Obi can double the price.

I’ll add an obi and keep it at that price.

I have Graceland, it's good, but I think it could be way better.

I mean we have you but we want @nightmather.

He's gone now, likely till at least Saturday.

But seriously, I guess consensus is that the RTI RSD Graceland it's pretty much the best copy out there? It's very clean and it's good but I feel like there's a lot more depth and high end that could come out on that one. But maybe that's just how it was recorded, but after hearing the Bridge Over Troubled Water Classic Records pressing I feel like there is definitely more that could come out of Graceland. That BOTW Classics is stunning and it's absolutely full of detail and depth that I didn't know existed on that generally muddy recording.

My ogs sound great. I see no reason to spend a crap ton of money to replace great sounding records.

Management would like to once again apologize for the prior forum posts. Apparently said persons have figured out how to pick the lock on the time out room. Adjustments are being made. Please bear with us.

I've got a umm, white hot stamper of it. I'll cut you a deal. $400 shipped and I'll ship it as a gift with a birthday card to fool the authorities.

@djdavedk just scored Etta James’ At Last and I know for damn sure I will never find that digging, but I should really have it in my collection. It has been sitting in my wantlist on Discogs for years. Does anyone have a good reissue they can recommend? The Boom Boom cut any good?
