Ok, I just listened to Side 1 at an uncomfortably loud level (for my neighbors) and can honestly say I think it sounds fantastic.

I have to pull it tomorrow and check, I'm pretty sure it's VG+ all around. Look for a pm then.

Those of you with the Let It Be 2021 pressing, have you had any issues with distortion in the highs specifically in the Get Back disc? But also just on the main album? I've seen lots of cogs reviews complaining of left channel distortion on the highs. I don't have the pressing, just wondering.

Not at all. But it’s in the queue to spin again so I’ll listen closely this time around.

Rumor I have heard is it’s out in about 6 weeks but I feel like people say that about every MoFi release and before you know it, it’s a year later and there’s no pressing in sight.

I really like the sundazed KG cuts of Bookends and BOTW:

But they are a bit of a pain in the ass to find. From what I remember, either the UPCs are the same as other pressings or people sometimes say they are the KG cuts but actually post other reissues. I lucked out and my local was selling a copy of Bookends on discogs and I trusted them to know which pressing they had. I think I grabbed BOTW on ebay and took a few tries before actually receiving the right one.

I bought an OG first release Bookends and it sounds awesome.. paid around what a newer release is for a NM copy..
I probably shouldn’t mention what I bought a VG+ Mono copy or Bookends for…
By the way, is mono the way to go for Sounds of Silence and Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme?

mono bookends is hard to find! hoping it sounds excellent. not sure about SoS or PSR&T...i haven't heard any of em in mono. i think the MoFi of PSR&T is gonna be repressed again and isn't limited if that interests ya at all.

I got mine a few months back. They just posted some restocks. A handful of online retailers have them. You can "pre-order" the next repress at Music Direct.

Yeah they sold out instantly, I had mine on back order for a looooong time
I had a lucky couple days on eBay about two years ago. Picked up the Bookends mono and Leonard Cohen’s first album in mono as well. Both are dedicated cuts and both sound quite great. Got Bookends for $5 and Cohen for $10. I actually gasped when I saw them as Buy It Now.
