Out of curiosity, have you heard the MoFi of this one? I've been tempted by this japanese press but also really like the MoFi...

Does he have a contact info? I wanna ask him if he plans on getting any MoFi pressings.

I have not. I have the Sticky Fingers Mofi which is good but I think this one is better. But obviously apples to oranges...

I think he addressed that at some point as a no. Because he’s one of those people plus he’s so far up Chad’s arse you can only see his feet..
Edit: There is a contact page on his site Michael 45 – quality vinyl / Buy UHQR Records in Europe.

Might just stick with the MoFi then! I think the Some Girls MoFi is better than Sticky Fingers. But pretty happy with both!

I have the MOFI - it’s fantastic. Had a NM OG US that was also great but the MOFI nudged it out.

I think the JP is the same plates as the OG US so there's your answer. Mofi is the weiner.

I figured he wouldn't. It was more of a joke since i saw that the Thrill One-Step video is titled "Goodbye to MoFi". He seems to be all in on being a AS spokesman and OG pressing "expert" which is something he has always been and totally not something he started on right after MoFi broke his brain.

but dat japanese vinyl formula....I'm assuming the japanese pressing is cheaper than the MoFi is at this point so it probably is a true toss up.

Oh yeah, dead dead quiet and cost... $38. With original uncensored jacket.

Such a great pressing. Plus you gotta love that original die cut jacket.

I mean I am FULLY addicted to the Obis.

This might make me a heathen to you but, I don’t particularly care for them so I try to save money by buying really clean copies with no obi, or a damaged obi I can toss…

You keep doing that because it means more for me and my INSATIABLE APPETITE FOR SPENDING MONIES ON FANCY THINGS

JP pressings with no obi are akin to my kryptonite, especially with Ella bc they seem to discount pretty heavily for lack of obi.

Anyone have good/bad things to say about specific pressings of Elvin Jones/Richard Davis “Heavy Sounds?” I missed out on a seemingly pristine 1st press on eBay, and it’s apparent I need to focus on cheaper options if I want good condition.
I’d buy a Japanese press, but they’re mfd by Victor, and I’m worried about an album with punch losing that edge.
Edit: I missed the positive reviews on Discogs for 1979 JP press but just saw them.
Apropos of nothing, the cover is f-ing amazing!
