That might be a great option since Dire Straits is one of those band I like, but not necessarily love enough to invest so much audiophile dollars into.

Not sure the prices on those SYEOR pressings near ya (or if you can easily get them), but you could probably get 2-3 for the price of 1 MoFi.

Yeah, I have this and an OG Brothers in Arms...I feel as I might want to also get self titled but that would be enough Dire Straits for me.
get Alchemy.
I don't understand why Alchemy has never been re-issued & given the definitive treatment.

Speaking of Dire Straights....Making Movies and Communique are back in stock at MoFi (if people want those but I imagine the SYEOR are plenty good for most people!) These will just continue to be repressed too.

10,000 copies is a big run. I would be happy with the $35 version of this one, I wonder if this and Pearl will get any more standard MoFi represses or if that will threaten the one step sales.

Great album for a change with them but another retread also. The standard mofi is pretty damn good, I think I’ll stick with that.

Grateful Dead - Blues for Allah
Mastered from the original master tapes, pressed at RTI, and strictly limited to 4,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45RPM vinyl 2LP set possesses seemingly limitless dynamics, reference-grade presence, expansive soundstages, and a wealth of previously obscured information. Strongly...

Blues For Allah is back too @Crabbers sorry not sorry.

Good question! They're both awaiting repress, so will they come out before the UD1S? Not sure, as you said, this could threaten the UD1S sales...maybe.

I think this and Pearl will get repressed. They are still on awaiting repress on MD and the MoFi site. Although I do wonder if the 33 of Tapestry will happen any time soon...not sure if they need an additional license for it but this is being released for the 50th anniversary so if they need a new license, not sure they'll get it with the other likely reissues coming out this year.

It's good to see them scheduling a few more UD1S lately, but man, do they have to do the what's in their catalogue already?

Interestingly, it's listed as UD-30 for the One Step Catalogue number....so somehow there are 14 missing in between the last announced one and this one...

Damn I just pulled the trigger on a Rocktober Rhino pressing of this that seemed like a good deal shipped from Italy. Wonder if I can offload it to subsidize the mofi....

I'm pretty sure it was already sold out by the time you typed that.

The Rhino sounds pretty great and you don’t have to flip it up over a bunch of times and you could use the $50 you save to buy another LP (or two) that ya don’t have?

You're correct -- sorry! I think it was showing "sold out" -- after the announcement that it was back in stock -- but it's obviously available again.

I don't know how I found the "back in stock" page originally, but I just have distill alert set up for it now and they are putting up whatever the next pressings coming through are a few days early it seems. Layla and a bunch of Dire Straits are back as well today.
