Hoping these will be widely available as a repress. I slept on Pastel Blues and Love Supreme because I have other pressings but these are tempting.

Personally, I think they are gonna sell out again pretty quickly. They will likely repress again but who knows with the state of the vinyl industry/pressing plants. The Tone Poets have been taking forever to get represses done. I know the AS series is a bit different since AS owns QRP but still...they have more in the series to come out and will likely prioritize the new releases.

I have OGs of Heaven Up Here and Porcupine. I like the OGs more. The soundstage is bigger and airier, the drums are punchier, the vocals are richer in tone.
The reissues sound good too, with a nice balanced mix. Just not as good as the OGs.

Not sure where best to post this, and my searching didn't reveal a "The Clash" thread, so I'll just put it here.
If you are a Clash completist with relatively deep pockets, Acoustic Sounds has listed quite a few The Clash albums and singles from the Topper Collection: Buy Vinyl Records and CDs from acousticsoundsvault at Discogs Marketplace
(Just scroll down a bit and you'll hit a run of their titles.)

Looks like these were back in stock briefly. Nice to see they are still on the repress list.
Working like a dog yesterday so I missed the Instagram on my watch. 7hrs later the email announcement hit my phone but that was likely hrs after they were gone.
Strangely to the best of my knowledge the MoFi vinyl feature page never updated to show them in stock.

I am here to confirm that the Mingus x5 does indeed sound great. I bought the vital Vinyl reissue back a year or two ago and was very underwhelmed. This pressing though stands right up with the other AAA Mingus records I own. Definitely a must buy for Mingus heads or fans of this album.

Thx. I did a search and nothing popped up earlier. Maybe a typo. Grabbed the one in stock and back ordered the others. Problem solved.

I've been curious about the most recent remasters of Traffic albums and have read a bunch of reviews that hadn't swayed me one way or the other, but with some recent sales, I picked up Low Spark of High Heeled Boys and John Barleycorn Must Die. Looks like they're pressed by GZ Media, but I haven't seen anything definitive about the source, or the mastering. Anyway, both sound very good. For starters, they're flat, clean and quiet, and those last two are hard to come by with OG's in the wild. (I probably have had at least 6 different copies of JBMD over the years and I don't think I've ever had a consistently quiet copy.) Everything in the mix seems pretty well defined, and overall SQ is damn good for the price. Now I kind of regret that I didn't buy the Studio Albums 1967-1974 box when I had the chance to pick it up at a discount, since I think I've read that these individual releases are breakouts from that box.

Man, that price seems a lot higher than I remember. And at this point, I can buy the remaining 4 albums individually for a total of about $70!The Studio Albums 1967-74 6LP Box Set

Not sure where to post, maybe need a definitively bad cover art thread. Anyone have any bad cover art to share?
