Beatles MFSL box set

Hmmm ....... well I wish I could agree. I have found the MOFI pressings not to be at all the hype that surrounds them. There are a few exceptions but the Beatles box set just like that of the Stones is good money thrown away! This is just my opinion with the rig that I listen to. You may very well have some of your own magic surrounding your system. If it makes you happy! That's what counts!!!

Mike,

I agree that the original pressings are hard to beat. Breakfast with the Beatles is memorable event. Like I said there are some exceptions when it comes to MOFI. The Moody Blues "Seventh Sojourn" is one of my favorites! I have a lot of original Beatles pressings. Luckily I didn't ruin them in my younger years playing them on that RCA console! I do spin them time to time. But nothing like the years past. Bill

I too saw them about three years ago in a small venue in Youngstown, Ohio. Ray and Patrick were both absent due to retirement. The acoustics were horrible in the facility. There was a lady on flute and she did a superb job! The German Imort of "Question of Balance" is also very well recorded! "Sojourn" is hard to find in the MOFI pressing. As far as digital goes ........ The MOFI cd of "Sojourn" is also very good. But lacks the luster of the black circle! Stltrains, be patient and you'll end up with the superb MOFI "Sojourn". Let me know your thoughts once you've had a chance to listen to it. "Picasso on cardboard" now that could very well be a master piece indeed! :))

The best Moody Blues show that I have ever seen was in 72 when they were all pretty young. That was magical to say the least. I hadn't seen another show like that until Floyd did the "Dark Side of the Moon". Like I said before! If it make you happy ....... that's all that counts!

Theo,
Your absolutely right about Moraz being a showman. He was a finely dressed musician in his own respect. I saw them on their "Other Side of Life Tour" and he was playing around with Thomas just as you outlined. The Anderson flute thing is really funny! Today's bands just don't equal yesterday's charm.........
