Definitive Audiophile pressings

Any idea whether this Rhino reissue of The Nightfly, release date March 26, will use the Chris Bellman cut? Any opinions on those earlier versions by CB?

Just get the MOFI for ...THREE HUNDRED NINETY NINE DOLLARS, or the MOFI One Step for FIVE HUNDRED FORTY NINE DOLLARS...
 
I think this will qualify as "audiophile," and pre-orders are up at LiTA (as distributor): Toshiyuki Miyama & The New Herd - Tsuchi No Ne (Sound of the Earth) | Light In The Attic Records
I'd never heard of this until today but just checked it out on Spotify and really enjoyed it. Here are the highlights for this forum:
  • 180gram HQ press at RTI
  • Remastered from the 1st generation Nippon Columbia master tape
  • Lacquer cut by Kevin Gray (Cohearent Studio)
  • Old school style tip-on gatefold jacket with OBI strip
 
Per the suggestion in this thread, I bought this Kid A on Discogs, and I paid for it on Jan 26. So far no shipping details or any message from the seller. I sent a message yesterday to ask about it. This is the longest I've waited for a Discogs deal to ship. Am I wrong to think it's unreasonable?

Probably. They should do a better job communicating but it has only been a week.

Not particularly unreasonable, but some sellers are only shipping once a week and limiting trips to the post office due to COVID. I’d give it a couple more days and then hit the “seller not responding” button if they don’t get back.

Not sure about the Rhino, but this is another one where an OG or early pressing is going to sound great if it's in good condition.
I have this pressing and it's pretty impressive.

Yeah, If you get an original Masterdisk RL (Robert Ludwig) that is clean, that's all you need . Sure they are plentiful in the States . The CB is great too . Who knows what this new press is going to be ,

@Academy . The AB-1006 are the first pressing, done by Bernie Grundman and they are great, there are some that use the AB-1006 plates and have the B scratched out and then a A added for AA-1006 which are the later pressings , and then the 2nd pressings have AA-1006 in the deadwax .

I gotta agree with the others, while I would love to hear the MoFi pressing, I have an OG that sounds fantastic. There are 3 albums that always jump in my head for OG quality on the cheap, Aja would be one, Brothers in Arms and I Robot would be the others, finding a clean OG of any of these isn't that hard and they're reasonably priced.

I'm finding the Quality over Quantity rule to have a sub section called "upgrade must be staggeringly better", because while I would love the MoFi of Aja, as stated, the early pressings are stellar, I really should put some money towards albums I don't have :)

This is what I have at the moment -

The Parlophone SOE is still available, so you should jump on that, shouldn't be too expensive and comes with a DVD-A .

My Canadian OG (I bought it in '86) of Colour of Spring is one of my pride possessions. It is one of the records I would grab if there was a fire in the house. I have 2017 version of It's My Life on my way to replace my very beat up 80s copy. I also need to upgrade my copy of Spirit of Eden. Damn I hate this thread

This looks amazing and the pressing details are magnificent for this release! 😍😍😍

Elusive disc contacted me about a pre order and apparently AP are discontinuing 200g vinyl and from now on will be pressing only on 180G. So those who don't think it's a massive gimmick might need to fill your boots.

I didn’t really realize that they still did 200g! Thought they discontinued it awhile ago!

They could press at 120g and it’d still sound exactly the same. Weight is the biggest gimmick out there!

Edit: I suppose given how shit pressings can be these days the one upside is that it’s probably less likely to warp.
