Definitive Audiophile pressings

Anyone else having trouble getting their settlement check from MoFi? Mine was on informed delivery the end of August but was never delivered. The post office said it was probably lost or stolen so I reached out to the MoFi settlement email and they said the settlement people needed an official email from the post office saying it was lost or stolen. They obviously wouldn't give me that but had me put in the info on their website where I got an automated reply that said I could report it as missing but without a tracking number there was nothing they could do. I sent that to MoFi and they've ghosted me since.

i pretty much just returned the ones that I didn't listen to anymore/preferred other pressings of like Kind of Blue. Had a few others I had been meaning to sell but they had dropped below MSRP on discogs. it was annoying but i knocked it all out in an hour or two one night while listening to music and having some beers.

Yeah same, also I never felt ripped off or like I was being taken advantage of anyways. I don’t fault anybody for sticking it to the man, but for me to jump through hoops, the process needs to be either super simple or I must feel really aggrieved neither applied in this instance.

These crap tapes are in the U.S. so it makes sense they would be cut there, and the distinguished Kevin Reeves because they are probably being pressed at the worst, cheapest plant - United.

Rush to pre-order!! Beatles!! In mono, from fourth generation dub tapes with added heavy reverb!!

My Dad had these records in his collection. He had just turned 16 when The Beatles played on Sullivan. I saw my Dad play these U.S. versions when I was a kid. While I have minty analog UK stereos and monos, my dumb ass ordered this set because these versions meant so much to my Dad.

That said, the reality of what they are makes me want to cancel the order because they won't get played. I have shelter, food, and potable water, but after reading your post I still feel a deep sadness that buying stuff isn't fixing.

I feel for the most part this type of nostaligia in the U.S. is what they are relying on to sell these. And sell them to a majority of buyers who already have the proper Beatles catalog.

I also feel that if your father had access to UK originals at the time he would have ignored these botch jobs.
 
some good deals here: Home page

shipping is priority so around $10+ but could possibly email the guy and get him to send media mail. Dylan BOTT one step for MSRP and Monk's Dream one step for $90 is a really good price. few other items are all over the place.

guy used to work at AS. ordered something friday got it monday. whiplash mailer, etc.

i'm a bit surprised by how low some of the prices are compared to discogs or ebay on OOP stuff. i grabbed sinatra at the sands MoFi for lower than discogs lowest sold.

I've definitely noticed him in a positive way, but I just had a quick look in my Discogs to confirm what I have of his lately and yeah, it's stellar:

Fontaine D.C. and Jamie XX's new albums, Elbow Audio Vertigo, Gabriels, Depeche Mode Memento Mori, The The Comeback Special Live.... very nice pressings.

the new Sampha plus the new 12" sampha that just came out too. Did you get the 3LP of the new Jamie XX? Can't wait for that one. Been hearing all sorts of hype for it. 33 but spread out onto 2 discs + the bonus disc with that Badu collab....mine is en route from JPC.
