Definitive Audiophile pressings

I really hope they do Led Zep. Their stuff is really hard to find. Not sure if you guys have heard them but I think their stuff is on streaming services. Their song Stairway To Heaven should have been a bit hit.

Oh wow. They're kinda like an...old man's Greta Van Fleet. I see why you're into them!

Sometimes we ask questions, not realizing that we are better off not knowing the answer.

I will not be replacing my original Collins. Lol. I have perfectly fine copies of Charles (75th crystal) and Mingus (older reissue posted somewhere). I am interested in the other two Mingus, Dock of the Bay and Soul Man, as well as Zeppelin… if it materializes. I have deluxe versions of 1 and 2 - might even replace those with AP copies.

I have great Collins japanese pressings, AAA done by outstanding mastering engineers on vintage equipment. I have the Genesis and Zep Classic vinyl which are the same masterings as Chad is bringing out, but better as they are all at 33. I'm not a huge Ray Charles guy, but have a few Rhino AAA which is good enough for me. I have a complete Rhino Otis, all decent, and the recent BG Love Man which is my favorite Otis record. I have the Mingus titles done by Speakers Corner - better. I have the KG Yes-Fragile and the MOFI Close To The Edge, and splitting CTTE over 4 sides is just stupid.

Foreigner's first is not bad, but the MOFI is all I need, the rest is supermarket muzak.

Bad Company with Paul Rodgers - no. Rodgers, after Free, became the Engelbert Humperdinck of rock.

I have the Classic CSM/Y and Crosby, again, same BG mastering but better at 33.

Coltrane's Atlantic have been well covered with superb 33 releases. I have the BG Giant Steps 45rpm. All done.

Uninteresting and not necessary for me.

When mine gets done in Illinois it will be Willie Nelson.

Spoiler: The joke

i added rock to swap for the and Family Live record and my box inexplicably went to Illinois from Harrisburg

When mine gets down in Illinois it will be Willie Nelson.

I don't know what this means. You're going to smoke it?

I explained above.

ALL - if you could give me time to edit before you reply… I’ll look smarter than I am.

As a fellow old person whose avatar gives away his senior status (and for most people, including my wife, horrid taste in music), your avatar already gave your elderly status!

It's 4 dudes in Led Zeppelin costumes trying to act original.

Neither sound good. The recording is what it is.

Then again, red is best. Until blue comes along, then blue is best. Then when a yellow comes out, yellow blows aways red and blue. Until orange comes out.

But by the time green comes out, red, blue, yellow and ornage are forgotten, so that is the best.

Many years later, someone online says the yellow was best all along, so re-buy the yellow on Discogs.

Much later, there comes a realization that the original red was perfectly fine all along.

Yes we are all aware that this was not well recorded or mixed, but there are still good and bad pressings of poorly recorded and mixed albums.
