    Definitive Audiophile pressings

    I'm with you. It's not only that the VMP press sounds more than solid for the amount of plays I give it, but I also consider the shelf space I'd be sacrificing to upgrade. I may be in the minority but these fancy deluxe boxes some audiophile pressings come in are a pox from the depths of hell...

    I gave Heroic Losers a watch last night after your rec and it was pretty solid -- thanks. You're right, nothing mind-blowing, but the characters are extremely entertaining, and just really great faces to look at. The rural 2001-era Argentina setting was a nice escape as well.

    Always glad to offer recs for whatever they're worth -- hope you enjoy. Cindy Lee is definitely not like the others, and may be more of an acquired taste given the boundaries she pushes. But yeah I'm a huge Sarah Davachi fan. Prati Bagnati Del Monte Analogo is also pretty special. Let us know...

    Definitely legit. Check their eBay store too before you buy in case you can get a better price...

    Definitely legit. Check their eBay store too before you buy in case you can get a better price. They often run a 20%-off $65+ special.

    I had a first-time shipper send me a record wrapped in an old (clean) bath towel inside a large priority mail shipping box. The record smelled like Downy but arrived in good shape!

    Definitive Audiophile pressings

    I gave it a full listen tonight and can confirm it's an awesome pressing, highly recommended. Very glad to have it as a companion to my 1971 pressing of Time Out. I'm not all-pro at sleuthing out pressing plants from the run-outs, but I know I've seen that kind of "Y" antenna etching before...
