There's acoustic guitar during the chorus of "Nude"! Holy shit!Listening now... Beginning of 15 Step is a little jarring at first. But only because it's so quiet behind the "scratch" sounds.
Very happy so far!
The vinyl was really pristine. No signs of any play.
I don't inherently mind 45s even though I am a self-proclaimed lazy bastard a lot of the time, but if I do have a choice of 33 vs 45 mastered by the same person, I'd usually go 33. Don't know that my system (or my ears) are always good enough to notice a difference between the two most of the time. The only 45 that bothers me for being a 45 is the MoFi One Step of Marvin Gaye. The flow of the album does seem to get interrupted due to it being a 45. And I do prefer the 45 of Rumours over the 33 (and MoFi 45 of Electric Warrior over the KG cut slightly but that's a totally different mastering job).
Yeah, Nude is when that pressing really starts to shine. Then the rest of the album continues to sound perfect on it.
Same...now what to do with my extra one
I'm just gonna hold onto it for awhile I think...and then eventually trade it for something I don't have. Forgot this was limited to 4,000.Same...now what to do with my extra one
They knocked it out of the park on these. I pre-ordered when that was an option. Never sounded better (even besting my original MoFi from the 80s or maybe it was the 90s) of Mars Hotel.
They did a nice job on this and a steal at that price point. I think the AP is better but I don't mind getting my lazy ass up every so often to flip the record.
Definitely a great pressing for the price. I've been pleasantly surprised by most of the Superior Viaduct reissues I have. Most are $15-$20 on sale and sound solid. It would be interesting to compare this one to the upcoming Acoustic Sounds x Verve reissue (assuming it's the same series as the other AS ones) but I don't feel the need to upgrade my SV copy.
I don’t understand thinking there is a meaningful difference between the interruptions for 33 and 45. Obviously, there’s a mathematical difference, I just don’t think it’s material.

Is it really part of the AS series, the preorder going around is 10 bucks cheaper
If it is that one on Discogs, I have it. It sounds really, really good and it is analog. Has 'Mastered by Capitol' in the deadwax, along with Ron McMaster's initials.Anybody know if this pressing is any good?

It’s in the video accompanying the press release that talks about the Acoustic Sounds reissues and Chad has said they aren’t only using master tapes for the AS series...the whole thing is confusing but I’d be surprised if it’s not part of that series. Chad said they will be focusing on Impulse this year for the Impulse anniversary. some of the albums in the Impulse videos were already announced by AS and I truly doubt that Verve is going to be coming out with multiple reissues of the same albums at the same exact time. The video had A Love Supreme and Out of the Cool in it...
What preorder? I don’t think the future titles in the AS series are up for preorder yet... but this was in the video that accompanies the press release @kafunis posted, along with other previously announced titles In the AS series, which leads me to believe it will part of that too
I was going purely based on the fact the Amazon item says 1997. And there's only one 1997 release on Discogs...
