Definitive Audiophile pressings

[Joe Mac]

Yeah it's tough, there's one review which says they like it but it's got a "DMM brightness" which could be fine but also could be horrible. Tough for like $100

Ouch! I feel there were loads of them on record City for much less than that when I bought the waits ones I did get!

Yeah $70 USD NM with Obi. So that's about $100 CAD. Then you have the shipping.

Ah right. I’d happily buy without the obi myself and I suppose it was almost 3 years ago when I bought those. But it was about $30 back then.

Oh wow, it seems like it went up in price. Closing Time and Foreign Affairs seem to be the most common JP Waits out there these days.

 

[Mather]

Yeah I've got a real motley cart going on right now. Considering I really don't know how good some of these are gonna be. Diamond Dogs, Beggars Banquet, Closing Time and Some Girls. I can't get all of them and I really only have heard that the two Stones are definitely good... DECISIONS

Some Girls is exceptional. That should definitely be a keeper.

I really like the OG Some Girls with the uncensored die-cut cover. The Beggars Banquet I have is good, and definitely acceptable, but not amazing if you know what I mean.

Miles Davis - Jack Johnson is in stock at Music Direct. Just grabbed one.

Haha, that's what I was just saying. Emphatic yes.

Which Beggars you got?

 

[Turbo]

If it helps any, the Some Girls JP uses the original Sterling plates, so you get the best of all worlds with that pressing.

And In a Silent Way!

Which Beggars you got?

I'm not home so i just checked my discogs and it seems to be the 1978.

 

[Turbo]

The EAS ESS series Stones are all quite good IMO. Maybe Goats Head Soup is a little more raw than the others I have, but it's not the best sounding to begin with and still sounds about as good as I heard it. EAS ESS Some Girls, Black & Blue, Emotional Rescue and Sticky Fingers are all really great. Those are late 70's press. Beggars Banquet is on London Records so it's not from that series and it's a little weaker, but still decent.

Yeah this is the second JP King pressing from 73. But still, no real idea if its any good

You mean ESS yes? I think EAS is Beatles..

 

[Turbo]

You mean ESS yes? I think EAS is Beatles..

Probably, yes. I'm old now.

EDIT: yes, that's what I meant. fixed the original post to not lead people astray.

 

[Mather]

Probably, yes. I'm old now.

Oh, me too, I had to check on Cogs first.

 

[Turbo]

The other Stones I have is It's Only Rock & Roll and it's the 1975 and not from the ESS series. It's about like the Beggars Banquet I have. It's good, but doesn't rise to the level of the ESS pressings I have.

Picked up the 2 Miles represses at MD.

Id say this one needed it, given the prices on Discogs.

Edit: also kinda feel bad for the person that paid $276 for this yesterday
