Definitive Audiophile pressings

[Melt Face Molly Drop]

Would it help if it was a Joe Walsh Eagle’s song, as opposed to a Don Henley one?

I play strictly The End of Innocence in this household

 

[Jbraswell]

That's the version I have - it's Pallas USA, so likely pressed at Furnace like mentioned by @zdkaiser a few pages back. Furnace does a generally good job though.

It's an awesome box. Glad I picked it up.
Haven't really heard this since my 90s CD and it's great on vinyl!
Appreciate everyone's input.

yea i'm glad this one is pretty much being kept in print now. it was WAY too expensive for way too long.

 

[zdkaiser]

wait...you mean new seller BostonJimBob is a scammer?? He doesn't actually have Sea Change MoFi for $70?? or the Zeppelin classic records albums for $80?? shit.


but yea. discogs is rubbish now. i'd bet almost anything they move to a paid subscription model within 6 months and list combatting fake sellers as part of the "benefits" of it.

That's exactly who I was looking at.

Glad you like it! Didn't want to produce big expectations about it, since this is the "audiophile" thread, but I very much enjoy my copy.

He also has the Santana One-Step for $80!!!

On the second listen now, it needs some treble to open things up a bit more.
But I am completely content with this sound. Sublime compared to the old CD.

Glad I never bought an amp without tone controls.

PSH! You guys are missing out. I just put in a massive order and he instantly messaged me!

 

[Ghost]

I didn’t get scammed! Cleaning it now and hoping it doesn’t have any defects

"Peter Frampton @ 50" Box Set Rights a Musical Wrong!

these albums deserved a far greater audience then— they'll hopefully get one now

Anyone have the Queen Complete Studio Album boxset and can comment on the pressings? Trying to decide if I go that route or og Japanese pressings.

Man I’d be all over this one if it was cheaper…I love supporting Intervention

 

[MikeH]

Anybody get the new Nina Simone live album? You’ve Got To Learn? Would love to know how it sounds. The performance is excellent

Well, it depends on how you look at it. You gotta really want all 3 albums, if that's the case, think of what you spend on a AAA pressing of an album like Chet Sings, like I just did. When it's all said and done it still cost me about $50, so 3 albums for $160 isn't that far out of whack. But again, you gotta want all 3 albums. I think it's a great selection/content, I'm just not ready to spend $160 on Peter Frampton, if that makes sense.

That’s where I’m at with it. Don’t know that I would listen to them enough to justify the price. If they were individually released I’d get one.

I might just be crazy enough to go for it, mainly because Intervention is so good and I do enjoy some Peter Frampton.

I think I saw in one of the marketing releases that they will be sold separately. I’m not certain that’s the case, but would be a nice option

EDIT: From Fremer’s article: “Hopefully this limited to 2500 copies box set will sell out and it, and the individual LPs available separately on vinyl and on SACD will finally reach the audience they deserved to reach fifty years ago! Then musical justice will have been done!”
