Pretty similar in sound both this and the Sterling cut but this copy sounds just a bit cleaner on the top end, maybe it's just in better shape? But definitely will be my go to. Gonna listen to the Back to Black tomorrow, I remember it sounding great, it was my go to copy for years after all!

My main curiousty now is comparing the <3 cut to the Abbey Road Halfspeed 👍🏼

I will say though, I was rather blown away listening to these originals, this is one of my favorite albums ever and I definitely had alot of moments where it felt like I was listening to it for the first time again. Really good stuff!

I've got the Halfspeed that I think is pretty great, but haven't compared it to any other pressings. Nothing like a clean original, though!

I watched the video and Michael’s Waiting For Columbus video, he was a fan of the Grundman Cut reissue but said he liked the “OG” Los Angeles pressing slightly more. So, I went out to my local today and they had the reissue in stock for $32 but they also had a VG+ Los Angeles original pressing in stock for $14, so I went with that instead. The jackets a bit rough but the vinyl looks clean. We will see how it goes.

Nice. I've got the same one; it rips. That's got to be a top 10, maybe 5 live album.

Sooooo, I came across a (visually)NM/NM Wish You Were Here Half Speed in the wild today... it's the Canadian Press and it looks like it's never been played.

So um... I have 3 copies of this album now.

Oh also I bought a NM/NM Beatles White Album Mofi from @OMC so um... now I have two copies of that album and um... in other news I need to sell some stuff...

Might be the 2 greatest albums of all time though. I think I have 3 White Albums, and 2 WYWH. I need to hunt down one of those half speeds sometime.

Yeah this is kinda my thought process. I have no problem getting more, in fact I know I will have that 82 Half Speed WYWH at some point...

And @wmeugene I bet that Mofi Aja will sound incredible. Enjoy it, because you're old now so the hearing will be shot soon anyhow...

Had the pleasure of listening to that pressing myself, but was years ago! I could listen to this album through a tin can though it's so good 😂
