Jeff Powell lacquers, MRP pressing

Not bad. Vinyl is flatish.

Mastering is nice. Detailed and lush, I noticed things I had not noticed in the ten listens prior to tonight’s listen. There is some surface noise but never distracting and this was a headphone listen so you know probably not prominent at all through loudspeakers. A solid B+
 
Here’s a nifty one:

Sinful Savage Tigers - Last Night of the Revels

Had a weird itch the other day and searched out an old article in a local newspaper about the NC roots/americana movement that spawned around the Avetts. This was how I came to start listening to Bombadil.

Will The Avett Brothers' popularity overshadow N.C.'s roots music past and sterling present?

If you saw Mitch Collman and Jim Avett together at a concert, you might not look twice: They are two 50-plus fathers, both gregarious, with grown children and graying hair. Collman is a cardiologist; Avett was a welder before he retired. But they share a taste for American roots music and rather...

Anyhow it talks about a bunch of bands I dig, Chatham County Line and Mandolin Orange.

So these guys used to play shows with the Avetts. Anyhow, Andrew Marlin from Mandolin Orange is in this band. I’m not sure if the band predates Mandolin Orange or not, this album came out after Mandolin Orange’s first album.

Found a copy of this for sale on Amazon of all places.

They sound like the Avetts without all the punk rock posturing. My wife asked if it was the Avetts. Pretty fun listen.
 
I listened to my '73 UK OG before listening to this remix and the simplest thing to say is it's much "cleaner". On it's own, it's a really nice pressing, sounds great, but I think it falls victim to the same thing some other remixes have. Where the original is a little raw/rough on purpose and the remix just cleans it up to a point that it does sound like a completely different recording. That said, this falls into the preference category because they both sound great on there own, which one is "better" is up to the individual. As for the outtakes, I love them, made the purchase worthwhile, but I'm a sucker for those sorts of things and glad I picked it up :)
