Definitive Audiophile pressings

So let's talk some more Mastering Eng after KG.
It's apparent these are the guys behind the scenes making some magic happen.

I've got two George Piros' now.
LZ1 and AB Fillmore East.

Seems GP likes to crank it.
Maybe elevated volume for radio in the day.

Anymore good GPs out there to keep 👀 ?

Since I got my last set of PIFs out today, I have a new one on offer:

Arcade Fire - We (Indie Exclusive)

This copy has a defect that causes a noticeable pop every rotation for a bit during the Lightning on Side B. Cleaning helped a bit, but still noticeable and there. Picture attached. Otherwise it played fine. My replacement arrived today.

I think this may be hat worthy? I'll leave open for a day or two.

Bold move trying to change the entire direction of the audiophile thread and with Arcade Fire no less.
Kudos to you sir.

The LZII Piros is amazing, best you can get besides the famous RL hot mix .

Piros has a great The Band s/t cut too.

Well, I'm no Dylan expert but this 2LP 45 sounds pretty damn good to me. Have no idea why or how it showed up new and sealed at the local out of the blue with no current repress. Guessing maybe old new stock sitting on a shelf somewhere...

I'll check that out. All the LZ stuff is unobtainable price wise and the JP remaster is really decent IMO.

Seeing a lot AC/DC with GP signature. 🤘🍺

Yeah the JP remasters are good. The JP remaster of LZII is better than any US pressing I’ve heard that isn’t the 77 Piros or the 69 RL. I assume the Classic Records one too . All those are pretty outrageously priced though except the Piros

JP?

Are you talking about Jeff Powell?

I've not heard any of those, but got the impression they were all pretty bad. I'm going to have to look into them. I was thinking of going for Japan issues of the gaps I have. I only have a few 80's pressings.

For being digital transfers, they are pretty darn great. Fantastic sounding editions for $25.
