Definitive Audiophile pressings

I bought the Highway 61 and Blonde on Blonde Mofi's a couple of years ago because I hypothesized that there might be a time in the future where Dylan suddenly clicks for me.

Friends, that time is not yet upon us.
This, I've tried too, at a couple points in my life, and I'm not there yet. Maybe someday, like Anthony Soprano Jr's girlfriend, I will realize that It's Alright Ma sounds as if it could have been written today. Then my car will blow up.

I'm camping with the Beatles who are/were BD's biggest fans. Wait, now we will have two say they don't like the Beatles :ROFLMAO:

So I picked up a copy of New Order's debut on Quiex II vinyl. Been kind of obsessed with getting more vintage Quiex pressings since the success with R.E.M.'s Reckoning a month ago. This was pressed at RTI. The copy I got sounds brand new. Discogs doesn't say when this was released though - it's a repress but I imagine it's from the 80's but not sure.

Anyway, this absolutely kills my original Canadian Cinram pressing, which was quiet and damn good too. But the soundstage on this RTI/Quiex copy is phenomenal. Incredibly quiet considering its likely age. Two big big thumbs ups.

This reminds me that I need to track down Murmur on Quiex vinyl! Do you have a Discogs link to yours? (I think you said you had it in that Reckoning thread?)

I have these two pretty sure they’re Quiex, they are the translucent brown vinyl…

No, my Murmur sounds great but it was not Quiex. But it's what started me down this rabbit hole towards getting Reckoning.

But.... I did look and these are all the Quiex Murmur pressings I could find:

Thank you both!
