Definitive Audiophile pressings

Yeah, that's what I thought. If you have it in hand, no rush but I'd love to hear your thoughts on the album.
I gave it a full listen tonight and can confirm it's an awesome pressing, highly recommended. Very glad to have it as a companion to my 1971 pressing of Time Out.

I'm not all-pro at sleuthing out pressing plants from the run-outs, but I know I've seen that kind of "Y" antenna etching before. I'll share some pictures and let you guys have at it. Can confirm it's 180 grams and US-made. If you need it, the inner pressing ring is 32mm, and the outer 100mm.

Also just looking at that list. Has any audiophile label ever put out another record by as terrible an act as twisted sister? Bring back the Canadian dude who pressed an audiophile de Burgh, all is forgiven!
You wanted 80s! MoFi gives the people what they want!!

I don't want that album...but I could probably think of a lot worse...at least it's...different for them?
 
Does anyone own this Hall & Oates Mofi? Thoughts on sound/pressing quality?
I own Private Eyes. I bought it as some discount sale. The sound was so great I went out and promptly bought a non mofi greatest hits 2LP collection.... which instantly made me a convert to audiophile records and good mastering. It was early enough in my vinyl run that I think it tipped the scales for me on buying the Music Matter Jazz subscription.

I can't attest to the quality vs an OG -- I can say that it change my view on mastering and has made me happier and poorer ever since.
 
This week's MoFi Represses:

Simon and Garfunkel - Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme - 34.99

Hall and Oates - Rock n Soul Pt 2 - 34.99

Vanilla Fudge - s/t mono 45 - 49.00

Big Brother and the Holding Company - Cheap Thrills 45 2xlp - 49.99

The Spinners - Spinners 33 - 34.99

Twisted Sister - Stay Hungry - 34.99

Sisters of Mercy - Floodland Silver Label - 24.99
I have a few of these already, not too interested in the others. FWIW, I'm very happy with Hall and Oates, Spinners, and Twisted Sister.

I’ve seen that etching before, but not sure what it is.

great to here that it sounds good, I’ll order a copy today
 
Today, on things I did not need to know about 😂😅

I wish I lived in a Japanese house though, love Japan so much 😍 eat ramen for breakfast and go digging in the afternoon 😂

And eat ramen again at night because we would have spent all our money on records. Let's be honest, we couldn't stay there more than a few days and we would have to go back home by boat because we couldn't afford a flight.

It’s so easy to go to one record store and think it’s the best store you’ve ever been to, so you blow your planned record budget. Then you walk into the next shop and it’s even better hah. That’s what happened to me at least when I went to Japan...

This exactly what happened to me as well😅. Luckily restaurant ramen there is about as cheap as supermarket ramen here 😂

if you @Skalap or whoever else likes jazz ever go to Kyoto, hit up Chez Quasimodo if it’s still there...it’s a whiskey bar with floor to ceiling shelving of jazz records. The owner/bartender is obsessed with American jazz music and turned his garage into a bar. It’s really cool. Had a swanky vinyl setup with the two tone arms (one with mono one with stereo cart).
