Definitive Audiophile pressings

This reads like it was written by a SHF regular, which makes it more annoying than anything he complains about.

Record collector vents about 10 annoyances of the vinyl revival - Goldmine Magazine: Record Collector & Music Memorabilia

Vinyl, vinyls, vynnnnills.... call them what you will. There are some things about the revival that are even worse than getting the name wrong. and don't get started about etchings!

Who is JJ Golden and why is this a Benj?

JJ Golden is the son of John Golden, owner of Golden Mastering. They're not the "big 4" but they've been around for 3 decades and do a solid, respectable job. JJ Golden does the mastering on a lot of the Colemine Records releases, for example, which are consistently very well done.

I mean, I saw STP on the Core tour back in the day, people were jumping off the balcony of the Masonic Temple where they were playing, and even I don't really think we need 4 discs of Core.

I absolutely LOVE stone temple pilots. I am struggling with $100 For this though.

Thanks for this, I don’t own this album on any format. Miles Davis on Mobile Fidelity is sublime.

Well...I bit. I'd love to hear a 2 LP cut of this...it also helps knowing it's cut from JJ Golden. I've never had any issues with his (or his dad...or his sisters) cuts.

I have the MOV release from 2013, and the 2020 Wal Mart release. Both are just ok. I'm hoping this one is better.


For those that don't know JJ Golden's work - listen to The Frightnrs - Nothing More To Say

Wow

ROG’s SuperFly is cut by KG. What a wonderful surprise.

Wow

ROG’s SuperFly is cut by KG. What a wonderful surprise.

Awesome! I picked it up today but haven’t yet spun it. The packaging and slip mat are excellent. I hope to get around to it tomorrow.

working late tonight so I’m in the same boat. Tomorrow it is.

Ooh…do I buy it and sell the MoFi?? I’m torn…maybe if I see it for cheap enough…

4LPs for $99. I like JJ Goldens stuff too. Done a bunch of the Daptone and Colemine records. I also have some Bill Callahan records he cut and the Almost Famous soundtrack reissue. All are solid!

Ooh…do I buy it and sell the MoFi?? I’m torn…maybe if I see it for cheap enough…

The KG What’s Going On was as good or better than the MoFi, right?

What’s the sourcing on the MoFi?

The ROG states:

“Original album lacquers cut directly from the master analog tape source for the best possible Sonic experience”

You could probably sell your MoFi and buy 5 copies of the ROG.

The MoFi is AAA as well. The KG WGO is slightly better but the 33 over 45 is a huge improvement for the flow of the album for me. Don’t remember the flow of Superfly being affected a ton from the 1 vs 2 disc but will give it a spin and see. And I’ll keep my eye out for reviews of the ROG. I’ll probably pick it up though!

Just give it a few months and it will be sub $50.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Just give it a few months and it will be sub $50.

Yeah, I wouldn’t pay $100 but if I can get it on sale for $45 I would jump on that.

 

[Jbraswell]

I played the CD to death when it came out.
It was solid. Shouldn't need a lot of touching with a remaster.
The prices on the previous Rhino release are nuts, but 2017 box can still be had for a decent price.

Yeah, You never know with the Rhino boxes, I managed to pick up the Black Crowes Shake Your Moneymaker for under $30 and Lou Reed’s New York box for the low $30s.

I take back my last post! A re evaluation of the fucking eagles! They’re like everything that’s wrong with humanity. Terrible terrible people making music so laser sharply aimed at selling as much as possible that it lacks any soul or depth. Music for sociopaths to sociopath to…

I listened to the album Hotel California for the first time tonight, it starts off okay and then just gets progressively worse the further it goes. I don't understand the appeal at all. A greatest hits is literally all you need and even those will wear on your patience.
