Definitive Audiophile pressings

I listened to the '69 Bayou Country copy again and just love the sound.
It was pressed at the RCA Hollywood plant and is really quiet.

Anyway, took a discogs shot on a Cosmos pressed at RCA Hollywood.
$10 gamble. If it doesn't work out, I may go for the KG.
The roll of the dice worked out on a Cogs '70 Cosmo's Factory gamble. It sounds really good. The seller advertised the deep groove version but shipped a non deep groove. Very annoying a seller can't see a big ass ring indentured on the center label.

For $10 and a clean copy of this vintage CCR, I won't complain. It's still stamped with the H in the dead wax, which As Long As I Can See The LigHt, it's fine.
 
It’s actually a 2015 UMe back to balck that is decent. Also that record was released with a bunch of different track lists… that UMe did a good job with the track selection.

It was one of those records that had changes made to it for the US release after it had been released in the UK. I have that 2015 pressing and it is good and uses the original UK track listing from what I remember, I haven’t listened to Costello in ages, I’ll have to listen to some again soon!
 
I got a box from Rhino unexpectedly today...I think it's the Sabbath and Devo.

My tracking I was sent for that shipment never worked so really couldn't track it on the Fed Ex site.

But since I only got it on Wednesday, I wasn't expecting this package until at least next week.

I received mine today too. Well, most of mine. I received Sabbath and Devo today; I also ordered the Doobie Brothers get over the “free shipping” threshold but that was shipped separately and won’t arrive until Monday.
