Definitive Audiophile pressings

Haha! This is good to know. I recently picked up a 2016 repress of Blonder and Blonder that also was mastered by Boom Boom. Going to have to find this one.

Also copies of Tigerlilly, which I know some here have been looking for. At normal retail $49.99. Definitely a stellar pressing.

Both of these are fantastic, and look for green label WB of St Dominic’s and Tupelo, those sound very good!! Into The Music is great as well, should be able to find that pretty easily in the States I’d guess.

There's been some mention of Van Morrison. I'd add to the mix these two records:

1. Astral Weeks Live at the Hollywood Bowl. It's a great live performance, captured very well.. copies on Discogs at near mint should be able to be grabbed for $75-100. It's a pretty great record, double album, and ....it sounds real pretty

2. Common One -- you should be able to still find it for $25, but I think they stopped pressing it. It's also a real nice record that sounds pretty great

Could it be a foot tapping?I’m away at the moment I have a good Japanese CD at home I can have a listen to tomorrow see if I can hear anything on that.

Okay, question for those of you familiar with Monks Dream... I've got the Impex pressing and starting about halfway through the first track I can hear these occasional clicks here and there on the remainder of that track, but the strange thing is they're showing up in the centred stereo image, whereas pressing issues pretty much always pop on the left or right speaker, or both. But this is dead centre in the horn/bass position. I streamed it and I could hear a couple of them but not to the extent I hear on the Impex. Am I just hearing a very clean master of the horn player or the bass player messing with a mic or doing something with their gear on mic during the track? Because I don't think it's possible this is actually a pressing issue with it coming through dead centre.

It certainly might be? It's not something I've heard this forward in the mix before but I have heard some of it on other streams, but if it's a pressing fault then it's a new kind I've never heard before that presents as centred in the mix which makes no sense to me.

It’s Too Late to Stop Now is pure fire. His performances of Caravan and Cypress Avenue are incredible.

Just discovered I have an OG of this. Listening now and I agree, great performance and sounds great as well.

 

[kafunis]

What track is it, only have a listen when I get home tomorrow and see what I can hear.

You're welcome! Just checked and it was last Saturday that @zdkaiser posted about it's availability. I saw it 20 minutes after he posted and missed out. Glad you were able to snag one! I've been listening to a pretty clean OG pressing lately and it's one of those that sounds really good, which makes me look forward to seeing just how much farther MoFi can take it.

 

[HuddieLedbetter]

Thanks to whomever recommended the Rhino/KG hissing of summer lawns by Joni Mitchell. I'd never listened to it previously, and what a fantastic record and a stunner for sound.

I received the MoFI from Plaidroom. That first Santana album isn't the best recording overall, but that MoFi sounds pretty spetacular given the source material. I cranked it the other day and had the whole house dancing. Incredible album. Would've loved to live during the time when they were touring that album. Jingo and Soul Sacrifice would be so incredible live! Just unrelenting energy.

Is there a Rhino KG? Seems Bellman mastered the Rhinos. But it looks like there's a Speakers Corner Boom Boom pressing.

@MikeH found a hell of a deal on 30th DSOTM...add another Boom Boom

 

[kafunis]

Bellman did Hissing for Rhino. Sounds great.

To clarify, i got the last one . It will be my first Santana record. I’ve never been a huge fan, but Soul Sacrifice and Evil Ways are my favorites by them.

Ha! So at least 3 of the 5 available were purchased by N&G-ers.
