Yea I’m between Best of and Night Beat, if I buy any at all!

I would go for Night Beat…Best of is cut from a digital master And sounds a bit flat.

I’ve got this version of Portrait of a Legend, and it sounds great to me.

If you don't have any Sam Cooke, make sure you check out Live at Harlem Square Club. One of the best live albums of all time.

Pretty sure the Analog Spark version is KG too. Excellent record.

I have heard it is the mix that puts the audience quieter. That may be a plus for some, but I really like the original 1985 mix. For those interested in buying one I think both mixes are on YouTube. I'm sure that the Analog Spark is the best choice for anyone who likes that newer mix.

If anyone is interested in some early Van Morrison this is a great album and it's the "Boom Boom" pressing

I’m bummed I missed out on quite a few Analog Spark titles. Missed the boat on a bunch of them.

Angry Young Them is also very good indeed, got that a while back.

Pardon the inquiry, but what the hell is a “boom boom” pressing?

Is that the 21st Century nomenclature for “hot stamper”?

Does anyone have any opinion on the Sundazed Cohen Songs of Love and Hate? It's KPG but I'm sure it's just the lacquer.

I have it and think it sounds great. My copy had no pressing issues either.

Mine also sounds good but don't have any other pressings to compare to! Didn't have pressing issues either with mine.

I have a 1972 US stereo repress I'll be able to compare it to, but I know it will be a while before I'm able to do that.
