With all of the music icons leaving us lately, we need some new music for a new year. Here's one I'm enjoying....Aoife O'Donovan "In The Magic Hour". Any others?
jafant, Assuming you have heard the RS mono box, or part of it, can you give us some listening notes? I'm chomping at the bit to hear mine when it arrives.
dgarretson, I've owned/own these copies of "Meddle"... MFSL & Harvest (UK). Do you have any experience with these? If so, how does the latest re-issue compare Thanks.
I forgot you listened to cd only? The RS are one of those bands that, as much as I liked them, I never really bought very many lps. I don't own any original UK monos, so I couldn't really make any comparisons in that way. Supposedly, the lp mono set are limited to 10,000. I ordered mine the day it was announced and just received it yesterday #5056.
If you're reading this , I was inquiring (about the PF lps) in order to decide whether or not I should go for these new re-issues. I prize knowledgeable member's reviews more than Fremer's in my decision making. Thanks.
Hi dgarretson, I appreciate your candid response. I purchased the re-master of WYWH a couple of years ago and was not impressed. Is this (one) advertised now, the same pressing?
I played my UK "Obscured By Clouds" earlier today and thought it was on the bright side of what I'd consider a true analogue pressing would sound.
I own around 5 pressings of DSOTM, hard to recall which is best off hand.
I recently compared two of the latest PF re-masters to my original UK/Harvest..
"Meddle" & "Obscured By Clouds". The latest re-masters sounded better to my ear. Even better than my (now sold) MFSL "Meddle".
I then re-listen to my 2011 (repress) of "WYWH". Compared to the two PF lps above, this one was unimpressive. I was informed by another member to look on the SF site. The 2011 "WYWH" is a (repress) not a re-master.
(I do own a domestic re-issue and a CBS Mastersound of "WYWH")
The proof is in the listening.
No, I will not spring for a box. I may try another single lp though....
I had an interest in this lp for some reason. Maybe because the RS started off as a blues band? I recently heard that KR said this was MJ's best record ever, even though it was recorded in record time.
I'm interested in your take. Could you elaborate on the music and sound quality?
