I picked it up from jpc. Also recently received the Lester Young repress from Sam Records, with the 10" bonus disc. Haven't had a chance to listen to that one yet.

New Vinyl Pressing Plant From MoFi and Music Direct to Open in California

The elite reissue label Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab and its parent company are purporting to open America’s “premier vinyl production facility”

veryyyy interesting.

"The increased production capacity will enable MoFi to “issue records that aren’t just the standard classic rock and jazz for which we are known”

Plenty more non-standard classic rock and jazz. Amirite?

What’s the better Beggars Banquet? ESS Japanese, DSD, or US London?

After listening to a US London and a DSD of Beggars Banquet, I have to give the nod to the US London. It's airier and has a better bottom end, with bass and drums that are defined and punchy. This doesn't, however, detract from the vocals and guitar, which have a very natural, electric sound. But my dad's old copy has some wear and surface noise, so I picked up a DSD recently, which is no slouch. It's well-balanced and is a little brighter/less murky (although aren't the Stones all about the murk?). The DSD just doesn't have as much air and punch, or that "electric" crackle for want of a better descriptor.
