Definitive Audiophile pressings

About a month after I turned 15 the airline I was flying back to South America went bankrupt and their planes were repossessed. But not until I'd flown from Detroit to Miami, so until the airline could find a way for me to get home they put me up alone in a shitty hotel a couple blocks from the Orange Bowl Stadium. I had no money but there was a Chinese buffet in the hotel with the same food on it from morning until night that I got two vouchers for each day. Despite my mom freaking out that I was there alone, I spent the couple weeks I was stuck there wandering around the area on foot. I've had a soft spot for Miami since then. It was a hell of an adventure for a 15 year old.
And Steve Miller played...
Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
 
Not sure if it's been mentioned already but I recently picked up a 33rpm copy(320 dead wax) of Morrison Hotel that's supposed to be cut from tape. Comparing it to the AP 45 I can say the sound is very similar, with a bit more bass while maintaining the same clarity. At half the price, I'm happy with a version that'll allow me to stay seated in my ass. Picked up the LAW 33 as well and might try their pressings of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Additional info(in German) that goes further in detail:

All this story needs is a hooker with a heart of gold and we're set

Did you find it in the US or order from overseas?
 
We have four (!!) cats, and they largely have been well behaved around the hifi, sans a couple tumbles of one of the speakers on a stand. Had to replace a cable and some minor cosmetic blemish (as the retailers call it!), but otherwise relatively unscathed. That speaker stays off the stand when not in use now, and they conned themselves into a deluxe ass cat tree as a result! They’re smart 🙃

They knew EXACTLY what they were doing ;)

No, a local Discogs seller. Looks like most listings are overseas unfortunately. Picking up Zep's Untitled with the same dead wax, hoping it's just as excellent.



If anyone was listening to 45rpm Audiophile livestream with Kevin Gray I believe this is the LP they were speaking about that was 1st (and only at the moment) vinyl done on KG’s new rebuilt vintage tube system.
I have this, sounds excellent

What are the chances this goes through if I place an order? War - Greatest Hits LP (Color)

I grabbed the Juno but Newberry would be a better option maybe. I don’t get much from them.

FYI…..They also confirmed once again that Chet Baker Sings Tone Poet is in fact being repressed. I think Chet Baker Sings is only TP I missed out on.

I’m Waiting. Just waiting.

I have a clean OG pressing of this and it sounds very good, so I can believe BoomBoom would have worked his magic on it.
