Definitive Audiophile pressings

I own both of those AP Beach Boys titles, they are excellent. The next AP Beach Boys title I hope to pick up is Summer Days (And Summer Nights) my older copy is in rough shape. I have a Great older copy of Sunflower or I would probably grab the AP of that as is a pretty wonderful record. I wish they did a reissue of 20/20 good older pressings a hard to come by at a good price,
My next two are going to be Summer Days and Sunflowers as well
 
Surfs Up AP just arrived! It’s really great. @Russ I did yours arrive yet?
Got mine today. It rates a big happy smile from me! Haha. Feel Flows sounds more trippy than ever. Also really impressed with the gatefold jacket. Very nice package all around. (Of note, looks like it was a USPS delivery, which is unusual since all previous Acoustic Sounds shipments have been FedEx.)

I think I've had better and quicker service from USPS as of late to be honest.
 
@Plaid Room / Colemine has the Allen Toussaint speakers corner pressing in stock now. It's very excellent. boomboom + AAA. really great album.

Plaidroom 15% sale and picked this up. Thanks @MikeH for the recommendation.
 
Plaidroom just started 15% off sale. Some body (all bet the same person) got all 5 Speaker Corner Monks I’ve bern watching for days. Grr

My pick if I didn’t have it would be ….

Ornette Coleman - Round Trip - The Complete Ornette Coleman [Box Set] [Blue Note Tone Poet Series]
Wasn't me, but I did go a little too hard on that sale and grabbed some damage markdowns on albums I'd been avoiding because of their price. Like the live Oasis and Pink Floyd Division Bell. Then I finally pulled the trigger on Phish Story of the Ghost, cause that's never on sale anywhere.

Here is the picture of my shame 😂

I had that art farmer and new big thief in my cart. Forgot about it and both are gone now!
 

One of these left. Killer sound.

I was meaning to ask about this. Seems pricey in the UK, but didn't really see any detail to indicate if it was audiophile type pressing. Also what's the album like?

I never heard of Evosound b4 but I heard/read something good about the recording process of the album somewhere b4 I bought it. Pressing is top notch. Flat and Quiet. Cover is full color basic, a little thin, but looks really nice. Sound is top quality. Makes u put down the phone and listen. Music is relaxing jazz.

There is a limited colored/# pressing also that maybe avail at Acoustic Sounds at list. I'm really happy with my blk one from PlaidRoom. Sale price makes it a better value.
 
I just finished spinning "after the snow" from Modern English (Kevin G rm) -- and I just can't recommend those KG remasters from Drastic Plastic enough. great pressing and really satisfying.

(admittedly, I'm having a hellish workday, exhausted from trying to train to to the boston marathon, and had a narrow window between my relentless punishment of Zoom calls, so my degree of relief/joy may well be subjective....)

Also hey, when I was loaded the other night: 1st pressing of Leon Thomas, Blues and..., a couple early John Mayall pressings, John Morales 3LP of Teddy Pendegrass, Floyd, Piper Mono, and some other pre-order that don't even count because they didn't charge me yet!

also... loaded is a very relative term. ah youth, I miss thee so...

Let me know hat the Teddy Pendegrass is like when you get it. I'm interested.
