Definitive Audiophile pressings

Was planning to wait to get the Acoustic Sounds pressing, but I picked up a boomboom mono Speakers Corner cut of Ella & Louis on ebay last week for $25. It is excellent.

Son of Schmilsson already arrived too. Haven't had a chance to spin yet but no seam splits--woohoo!

Enjoy Mike! Still looking forward to the Ella/Louis single and double AS coming here. Still listed as Oct 22, but someone pointed out might get slightly pushed with the Mingus pushbacks. My dad haf the Classic pressings, were so nice.

Any good pedestrian pressings of Money Jungle out there now or best to wait for a Tone Poet repress or live with the good digital ? The Groove Replica lp from Spain has good reviews but is it likely digital ?

the BN site has more in stock than i would have thought. guessing because their prices are higher than other places. also i think people had some bad experiences ordering through them direct.

I ordered through them a few times now and didn't have any bad experience (other than no free shipping, even on $100+ order).

I will for sure. It's going to be tough because I can't get a loaner to test at home so comparison's are going to be really tough. I'm hoping they have another set of speakers in the room that are similar to mine in timbre.

I think the issue here, is this is a strictly zero identifiable contact black ops situation. If I were to remove the speakers my wife would definitely know I was up to something. I need to go in dark, identify the target, acquire them, and then move into the vitally important Shock and Awe phase of the operation.

Also given you don’t drive she might notice them in the boot when you ask for a lift to the hi-fi store 🤔
