Definitive Audiophile pressings

[MikeH]

Picked up my first S&P pressing. Nat King Cole's "Just One of Those Things". BoomBoom/Hoffman cut. Really excellent sounding pressing + cut and is still pretty affordable on discogs.

Interesting change to the emails from MOFI about restocks

Visited Michael Hobson's previous record store again, probably wasn't a good idea. Will never be able to afford the 1step so this will do.

I grabbed a really nice play copy yellow label of Second Helping a while ago. Very impressed with the sound. Haven't heard the AP 45 yet but this yellow label recording is as good as everyone talks about and I'm fairly content.


Rolling the cogs dice for a S/T. $35
It was a radio copy so not sure if that's a positive or negative.

The AP is crispy. Of course, probably due to the 45. Sure would be nice to not get up twice as much though.

The APs are extremely impressive. I haven’t heard OGs though to compare. I ended up getting the APs for good deals (got the self titled for $35) but definitely would prefer a 33. They were really well recorded albums so not shocked the OG sounds great!

Going to spin Free Bird. Have the house to myself so volume level will be, unlimited.

We all have 45 demons we battle.
For classic jazz, I turn my head. Classic rock is difficult to break up the album. It's really a hard conversation. No easy answer except a mint OG 90% of the time.

As a matter of fact, I'll be in Muscle Shoals next week and I need to finally stop in the museum.

Usually going through when it's closed but will try to find a day they are open.

Look for that one Cher album if they have any on display. I sold one to a lady who was connected with them.

Their best tune, IMO.

Phish does a great rendition.

Freebird and Stairway To Heaven can put a live brand to sleep, while they're playing the music.

Don’t worry, it’s one of those dang digitally sourced ones.

If that’s the image they chose, I’d love to hear the lawyers talk about analogue vs digital sources and the pressing process

I, for one, am glad they are using an accurate image of a record being played. Everyone knows that the proper way to get audiophile-grade tracking is to firmly press the top of the cartridge down into the grooves so it properly engages. In fact, it looks like we caught this turntabilist doing the oft-overlooked inner-groove repress so as to get rid of any IGD.
