Definitive Audiophile pressings

Anyone have the Let It Bleed (50th Anniversary Press)? How does it sound? Worth picking up if you need a good copy of this album?

I don't have it, but read that it's really bad, and to go for the 2003 DSD master. I was looking into this a while ago, but got distracted with T-Rex & Mofi releases. I need a good copy of this album

edit - looks like everyone is in agreement
 
Was reminded of these as I'm spinning one for the monthly challenge...

For punk/post-punk fans out there, have any of you ever looked into the Drastic Plastic reissues? I have several and they're quite nice.

These are Kevin Gray remasters, QRP pressings. There was some limited color and black vinyl editions for most.

I have these:





They also did The Clash, Ministry, The Damned, Modern English, The Rezillos, Love & Rockets....


Just noticed they did a Manic Street Preachers and a Girls Against Boys reissue as well. Hmmm
 
I just got the 2003 DSD Between The Buttons and it sounds fantastic looks like it was pressed at Pallas too. I have been holding off on Let It Bleed since I hadn’t heard good things about the recent represses but after my recent experience I will probably go the DSD route.
 
Is this the 2003 DSD master? I wouldn't have expected it to be for sale anymore

Well, the product code matches, but the link doesn't provide any other identifiers.
I have this one, it's definitely the 2003 DSD and widely available over your way:

back in stock.
Not yet at MD. Should get there soon I hope!
 
I was gonna say I need to get that Damned x3 but it appears to be one of the ones out of print.
I actually sold that one a while back. I got lucky and found a NM first pressing for a steal. I preferred that one. Just had more bite. The KG Drastic cut was no slouch though. I’m not sure what the status is of Drastic Plastic but I know they repressed their Cramps titles so I would bet they would at least repress Damned x3 if they can.

Out of stock items let you "waitlist" so that means there might be a new pressing. There are several titles that are no longer on their site so I assume they will not be re-pressed (Agent Orange)
 
Same 🤞. I wasn't expecting to get repressed so soon, as it wasn't marked as "awaiting repress".
"awaiting repress" actually means that it'll be longer before it's repressed. MD told me that OOS means it's closer to being back in stock.

i also noticed that MoFi's site added a "awaiting repress" tag and an "email when available" notification

Oooooooh, good to know! Just noticed the new tags as well yeah. So my order from MD now says "shippable" for Electric Warrior! Stoked!

Nice, first US or UK? I have a first German and it is crap!

Edit:JK, I forgot their wasn't a US. Was hoping you were talking a cheaper US one that I could start looking for. Great find!
