Top sound quality vinyl pressings =Weird. But if it's the best sounding version $100 doesn't seem thaaaaat crazy. Shit I'm turning into @Mather and @NathanRicaud

Mars Hotel is also available on backorder at moFi last I checked. They do not charge until they ship but you also get no heads up on when it ships. I just got some charges out of the blue and that's how I knew they shipped haha.
Skull and Roses is expensive on MoFi but still cheaper than discogs and brand new instead of used...ebay might provide some better luck for a used one if you check regularly.
Is this the one you are talking about being AAA?I have it on backorder from Music Direct even though I already got the Rhino AAA version a few months ago haha
Yea--that's the one I have. I believe it is AAA.Is this the one you are talking about being AAA?

Yea--they jacked up the prices on Skull and Roses and in The Dark it seems which sucks...I was eyeing Skull and Roses. You also don't have to go for the best of the best if you're just getting into it. I really like the One From The Vault set as well.Yeah that's why I mentioned it. Mars Hotel and Blues for Allah are both backordered. Sounds like Blues for Allah is a must buy. Skull and Roses and In the Dark are available but $100 and $125 respectively.
I'll be honest, there's a lot worse ways to spend $100 particularly in the current 2nd hand vinyl market. It sounds amazing.Weird. But if it's the best sounding version $100 doesn't seem thaaaaat crazy. Shit I'm turning into @Mather and @NathanRicaud
Blues For Allah and Mars Hotel are both great albums IMO.Ok so where do I go from here? I have one more album to spin in the anthology. Music Direct doesn't charge until they ship right? So do I throw in an order for Blues for Allah? What about the other MoFi's available? Skull and Roses, In the Dark, and From the Mars Hotel?
For the $100, I'd go MoFi Blues and MoFi Mars personally. But I am far from an expert on these things!I'll be honest, there's a lot worse ways to spend $100 particularly in the current 2nd hand vinyl market. It sounds amazing.
I'd probably go that route to start, but I probably listen to S&R more than I listen to either of those albums though.For the $100, I'd go MoFi Blues and MoFi Mars personally. But I am far from an expert on these things!
I gotta give Skull & Roses another listen it seems! haha. In my limited experience so far, I'm good with just owning a handful of live albums from them. I've never been the type to have favorite live versions of certain songs from any bands.I'd probably go that route to start, but I probably listen to S&R more than I listen to either of those albums though.
You will with the Dead...live stuff is superior to studio imoI gotta give Skull & Roses another listen it seems! haha.

Maybe...but I'm also looking to avoid that! I've liked some bands that lots of people liked live in the past and never got sucked into the mindset of "ohh the best version of that song is from Oneonta in '94!" hahaYou will with the Dead...live stuff is superior to studio imo
I bought a couple live show CDs and honestly........ i’m a dead head now.You will with the Dead...live stuff is superior to studio imo

I did the same exact thing last week! I also have Blonde on Blonde MoFi on backorder and maybe a few others...Ordered the two out of stock MoFi's. The LP10 discount worked.

I keep a running list of what my preorders are and cancel when I see that it's getting too large haha.Being able to order them without any money commitment is dangerous
