Definitive Audiophile pressings

The new Mingus- Modern Jazz Symposium reissue from New Land is sooooo good. It’s a oddity in his discography but it’s still amazing with some fantastic playing. I’ve never had the stereo version so that was a new experience. Highly recommended.
 
So Can't Buy A Thrill was the 1st UHQR pressing I've ever purchased and I gotta say, it's stunning, worth the $150, hard to say, but it is one of my all time favorite albums so we caved.

That said, the packaging is just as stunning, but honestly, I would be more than happy with a nice "regular" jacket, some additional liner notes and $50 less on the price tag ;)

The UHQR boxes are nice but just a complete waste of space. Glad to hear you enjoy the pressing though!

I'm sure no one particularly cares but for what it's worth in going to revise my review of that pressing of The Slider. It is softer than the remastered high res stream but it's much warmer and smoother and the stream can skew really harsh and tinny on a lot of tracks. Something right in the middle would be nice but really it's actually pretty good compared. I'd prefer more detail but it's a more pleasant listen than the stream so it's a keeper.

@Turbo I have a rip of the Sounds Marketing System japanese CD and think it sounds really solid. Might be worth seeking it out (or PM me).

Thriller arrived. It’s great… like really really great. I know we all know, but SuperVinyl is so goddamn quiet - and even better with a louder record than a quieter jazz or something.View attachment 158210

Thanks, @Ethos99 !!

It’s really great! I think every song is better than the original issue outside of Wanna Be Startin Somethin which sounds good but MJ’s voice is a touch back in the mix it seems. The clarity of the mix is stunning and my record is completely noise free.

Been waiting for this one for a bit. It didn't seem to want to fill my backorder so I put in a new one, if I get two I'll work on a return then - I want this baby haha. Thank you!

I just called them. I was worried about the same thing. I've had a backorder on this for 2+ years. They mentioned they just got it in the system today and will try and allocate oldest to newest. They made it seem like they didn't have enough stock to fill the backorders they already have. FWIW.

Eff it, I'll leave both then just in case. I doubt it'll be hard to move at cost if I end up with two. Thank you!
