Follow up on The Wall discussion, I have this OG-ish US Wall (Santa Maria Press, First Sleeve), and it slams. My copy has some surface noise, but I didn’t pay enough to get a totally clean copy. Pink Floyd - The Wall

Being in the east, I don't see Santa Maria pressings out here much. I think Columbia sent mothers from a master location anyway; not sure it's that big of a game changer. Nonetheless, there are nothing but good things I hear about Santa Maria releases.

Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky

Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed at RTI, and afforded the luxurious groove space of a 45RPM LP, this numbered version of Eye in the Sky features succulent warmth, magnificent balance, low-end heft, and see-through transparency that takes you into the studio with Parsons and...

I've been waiting 2+ years on some represses from MoFi. Which is kinda fine with me because I backordered and they were locked in at the old price...

I bought my wife the JP first pressing of Duran Duran “Rio” for her birthday bc it’s probably her all-time favorite album and that particular press came w/ a full-size poster of the band that is probably identical to what she had on her bedroom wall when she was in middle and high school. Like your poster, the poster in this record looked untouched, like it had never been removed from the sleeve. I feel like I need white auctioneer gloves to remove it bc of its condition and the premium it commands for that particular release. (And the vinyl is also pristine)

Is that the 33 or the 45 or skynyrd? All the AP pressings they did are so awesome.

It's the 45, I was tempted by the 33 but I caved after hearing the debut.

The mofi communique has really been tempting me from target especially since I have a coupon...

The original US and Canadian presses are so good and are a dime a dozen though.

I almost went for the 09' BG cut myself but they seem to be going for a similar rate as the Mofi, sealed anyway. Very happy with the Mofi!

I have the 45 of “pronounced…” and Nuthin Fancy, then the 33 of second helping. They all sound really great
 
Just noticed something mildly interesting. Record City Japan rates things Excellent on their site, but the same item VG+ on Cogs. Does anyone know what their version of NM is on their site?
