Definitive Audiophile pressings

I haven’t listened to Inner Spirit yet, how is it? If the recording quality is as good as Morning Glory I wouldn’t be disappointed, it’s great!
It’s in my “to clean” pile so will let you know if I get a chance to listen to it before you!
 
I don't have it yet. I ordered from Jazzmessengers this afternoon along with Mingus & Pepper Adams. (I'm sure I have enough).

I did manage to pick up Art Pepper yesterday, which I'm listening to now, sounds great.
Jazzmessengers really are fantastic, I have picked up a few Resonance releases from them in recent years. I ordered the Mingus from them too.

I just saw that they also had the Ayler set for €125 which is the cheapest I’ve seen it by far, but it’s sold out. Might be for the best though because Iwas in 2 minds about that set. I like Aylers music but I really have to be concentrating to appreciate it and I cant quite work out if listening to the full set would be too much for me. I have In Greenwich Village, My Name Is Albert Ayler, Something Different!, New Grass, etc which I do enjoy but I definitely have to be in the right mood.
 
Ok, so I'm spinning this right now for the Monthly Vinyl Spin Challenge in that other thread on here. I'm reminded how great this pressing is.

Pressed at RTI. The dynamics are superb. And it's crankable as hell.

Yeah, DFA does vinyl right.
 
The UHQR is defeintiley the best out there. You can get that great sounding Marino cut for pretty cheap though. Was like $13 on amazon the other day which is insane for a AAA/QRP record.
Thanks. I have the purple Newbury comics version already. Trying to see how much of a difference there is and if it’s worth spending on the new one. Struggling to pull the trigger on the UHQR.
 
When in doubt, go to the archives: (royalties to @MikeH's avatar).

This reminds me of an interaction over the weekend.

I was listening to the Bill Evans RSD release yesterday and was flicking through the booklet. My fiancee asked what I was looking at and I excitedly told her it was a great booklet that came with the record, full of interviews, stories and cool never-before-seen photos. I showed her the front as I said the last bit and she just obliterated my enthusiasm by saying he looks like the kind of uncle your parents would tell you to stay clear of at family gatherings....

I bought this a few months ago and showed it to my wife. She said she didn’t know Ruth Bader Ginsburg made an album
