Definitive Audiophile pressings

Boo! I actually own all but 2 of them, I’ll have to get onto picking those 2 up...
Maybe take it with a grain of salt as it's just from what someone on the interwebs says on SHF, but it does seem to make sense...MoFi released most of their early albums before the fires but I think they are pretty pricy now. You can occasionally find deals. I grabbed a clean MoFi of Murmur for not too much but Lifes Rich seems to fetch a decent price most of the times I see it on ebay.

It will, it and document are the two most popular of that period. That said I do love Murmor. I don’t actually need mofis tbh, if a nice version of LRP was pressed again new I might jump but I’m not paying mofi secondary market prices for it!

I lucked out and happened to search MFSL by recent on ebay one day and someone had just posted Murmur as buy it now for something like $45-50 so I snatched it up. It sounds real nice. I don't have an OG to compare to though and I have found some early pressings of Document and Reckoning so I'm probably not gonna go MoFi on those either.
 
We're on a budget here people, that $900 Lego Millennium Falcon isn't going to buy itself...
My director is like a big kid with a directors salary. After a pub lunch one time we stumbled back into the office and he spent the rest of the afternoon online shopping. The next day this HUGE (like washing machine huge) box arrived at the office for him and he had no idea what he bought. He opened it up and it was full to the top with lego. It stayed under his desk for a few years because he would have to get a car (in central London) to get it home, plus he didn't want his wife to see it. One of my colleagues said that surely its fine to have one big box of lego and he said the issue is that he actually buys lego and the house is full of it, he buys all the star wars sets and has the millenium falcon built already. We see it in the background during zoom calls and he gets asked so many times if hes working in his kids room.

It is kind of funny to see everyone's home offices the past year and how they have evolved. i was working on a job with Neil Patrick Harris a few months ago. My friend was in his own impromptu "home office" directing Neil and Neil asked him jokingly if he was zooming him from the bathroom haha.

That's hilarious. There was an awkward zoom moment at the beginning of home working when one of the directors said something along the lines of "remember to get up and leave your home office to walk around the house every few hours". Someone replied "what about those of us that don't have the luxury of multiple rooms". Talk about red faced with embarrassment.

yea--Andrew Yang just had a moment like that not too long ago...

“We live in a two-bedroom apartment in Manhattan. And so, like, can you imagine trying to have two kids on virtual school in a two-bedroom apartment, and then trying to do work yourself?”

Everyone in NYC was like uh....yea we can imagine because that's what most of us are doing here...

Probably a 2000 sq foot 2 bedroom Manhattan apartment too...
 
@Joe Mac someone on SHF was talking about the REM masters from the era you were mentioning and sadly, the original masters of the early REM might have been destroyed in the UMG fires...I think Capitol bought I.R.S. Records and in turn became UMG's property. Suposedly IRS was also notoriously bad for preserving things and just threw out a lot and didn't take care of the masters. REM seems to own all the masters post 1988 which is why Concord now has them.
The 80s originals all sound really great. Usually pretty affordable to pick up as well.
 
This REM talk reminds me that we need an audiophile quality level reissue of New Adventures in Hi-Fi. Would be excellent as a $30 buck reissue or a higher end release (yes, it's digital, but there's still a lot that can be done there). Since Wildflowers was reissued, this is at the top of my wish list for mid-late 90s albums by legacy acts to be reissued in audiophile format along with Dylan's Time Out of Mind
