You won’t regret it.
Please note I am repeating the last part of my comment. Damn this thread.
Definitive Audiophile pressings
- Thread starter Mrjay07
- Start date
I have the French 2016 2lp, which I really like. I think it sounds great. I don't know what the other presses are like, or if I was just lucky. I think the second disc is quite neat as well.Anyone grab this or have an opinion on it? Seems to be mixed reviews on sound quality.

It's a great album, go for the LITA, see what it's like.

I don't have the mono, but regarding other issues, I have the RSD version of this & it's pretty great.

Edit -
@AnthonyI It appears the 2016 French reissues were all remastered from the original tapes, so chances are they all will sound better than the LITA pressing, if that is getting mixed reviews. If you don't want to stump up for the double there are 2 listings for the single disc version that will probably use the same plates (2016 French) & it is cheap.

You can almost certainly get a clean original pressing for the cost of the 75th. It’s a great sounding album.

Not sure what to make of this but may be relevant to anyone who wanted the Craft One-Step of John Coltrane’s Lush Life and missed out. The site has a notice that the item is sold out, but it also allowed me to put one in my cart and check out (I didn’t submit payment, but I’m certain the transaction would have been completed).

I'm currently in a place that has no record player. I have 12 shrink-wrapped records sitting next to my feet. ~8 are coming over the next 10 days.

I may have had a bit of "late afternoon Mather" that influenced the outcome.
Also: Though the Miles Davis Relaxin' (AP) has been backordered for at least a couple of years -- they sent me a shipping notice almost right away. I can't imagine it will actually ship... but.

funny... I thought I saw them coming.
Also: sad face update... I got a second email from Acoustic gently revising my shipping notice to exclude the Miles Davis. (a guy can dream)
Also Also: I did the prep call for our event with Brian Owens today and the he couldn't have been a more decent, gracious, generous person. He's going to broadcast from his studio with a pretty tight set list of 6-7 sounds. (@soulsteprecords is just awesome)

Two questions on joy Division/ New Order
- Does anyone have a recommendation on which Joy Division's (Unknown, Closer) are the right pressings?
- I've got the Temptation 12" (flipside, Hurt) and the sound is good (2019/2020). Does anyone know if the original factory EP or Singles are a better sound quality? It is a moderately meaningful record for me, etc

I have distill set up and got an alert at 5:45 that it was back in stock.

1. The 2015 remasters were fantastic. They did a really good job with them. It’s not audiophile label but are more than worthy and it is post punk. The same plates were supposedly used for the 2019 & 2020 represses of each in colour. I have the red unknown pleasures with the inverted colour jacket and it’s really good. Didn’t bother with the clear Closer last year because had the black from 2015.
2. I don’t know but I do want to pick up the repress of the Blue Monday single that they did recently!

Can't comment on comparisons, but the original sounds really great. I believe all of their 12"s have really great reputations. Was gonna say might as well keep an eye out as they are pretty cheap, but damn prices keep shooting up on everything lately. You can always try a different single that's worth it to you and see if the difference is enough to justify the splurge on a second copy of Temptation.
