Ben said it all. Look at the time when these were released. The MoFi "The Wall" was released in the early '90's (like '91 or '92 I think) and at the time was way beyond the regular version that was out. The remastered version of The Wall, released in 1997/98, is better but that is to be expected. I can tell you that all of the Moody Blues MoFi's are better than the current remasters. If you are in the market for MoFi CD's, you will probably be OK if you purchase anything that is "Ultradisc II" as opposed to "Ultradisc" (which "The Wall" was). Ultradisc II was their "new" remastering system they used in the mid-'90's and was superior to the older system and in the discs I have compared, still outperforms or holds its own against anything out there. But as someone else mentioned, it all begins with the master tape!
Any Opinion on DCC/MoFi CD Quality?
I really don't understand the DCC hype. I have owned most of the rock titles, and I find the sound to be extremely muddy with an over-emphasis on the drums. Was Steve Hoffman a drummer? MoFi aren't too much better. The new hybrids are great, but I'm hard-pressed to reccomend any other titles for the high price.
I cannot name one disc in either brand that I would reccomend a $25(plus) payment for.
I would refer to Pink Floyd's MoFi version of "The Wall" to rest my case. An absolute case of fraud.
