Definitive Audiophile pressings

Yeah no thanks to this one. I've got the QRP AAA as well and the difference ain't gunna be worth it for me. Electric Ladyland is far better recorded and it's likely still going to kill anything they can do with this one in terms of fidelity. And you can also get that one for $20.

Yeah I mean *I* don't need this but please don't let me stop anyone from being happy about grabbing it. I'm sure it'll sound awesome. I know @marshall snagged one this morning and I look forward to hearing how it sounds vs the current family press. I think Marshall is trying to corner the market on the UHQRs.

Oh I don't doubt it, *I* just don't need to drop another $125+ on it vs my current copy.

Also I don't trust Fremers objectively with these releases any longer. Sure it sounds better than the AAA $20 pressing. I mean it had better. But does it sound $125 better? Can't help but notice he totally avoids that part of the equation. Because he's shown quite clearly over the past year that he doesn't even consider price when looking at the value of these expensive reissues vs older pressings.

Worst case scenario it isn’t noticeably better than the $14 Family version and you end up selling this for a mint when it goes OOP.

I mean yeah exactly. I'm just so curious to hear the difference between the two. It's kinda my litmus test for how much better these can be VS a really good standard press. But I'm actually more excited for the Lightnin' Hopkins Goin' Away that came with it.

I asked a while back in here about Acoustic Sounds duty charges and I think @Turbo or @avecigrec or @Hollywood had mentioned receiving a shipment and wondering if a further duty charge would arrive later. Did it ever? I just got a shipment with no charges, none listed on the tracking report and they didn't even ask me to sign for it. Just left it on my porch. But there's almost always those stupid brokerage fees at the very least. I'm wondering if the current shipping cost from AS just includes this stuff, even though it's not advertised as such.

Nothing yet. It's been what, a month since I received my order?

Interested to see some comparisons with other versions out there, especially the AP which I’ve got on backorder. Shocked it hasn’t even sold out yet.

Just a plain old $40 LP, and a good one at that. They need to do more like this at this price point.

I never listened to this full album in the past but preordered after a quick look at the song list. Decided to stream it today. True classic. Ended up streaming several times. Hope MoFi nails a good remaster on this one. Their other BW titles are good ones.

I’m sure it’s going to be great. As you said the other two Withers titles are excellent. I haven’t really gotten any duds from MoFi aside from some of the silver label series being a little underwhelming.
