To me, the 2LP Bellman is like pushing a loudness button. It still sounds great though. The 1 Step is so natural sounding, the tone is perfect. Also, the Bellman is much louder so you need to listen to both at the same level.
Eric Clapton Unplugged MoFi UD1S thoughts
Well...this has been one of my top five favorite records to sit back and listen to and also the 2011 2LP 180g US pressing one of the most impressive sounding in my collection. I felt many months ago when I pre-ordered the MoFi UD1S...how much better can it get?? Well, unfortunately...NONE! I just received my MoFi copy, played side 1 of my original and then to the MoFi and essentially no difference at all. I then went to side 2 and I think Lonely Stranger may be slightly better on my 2011 copy! What a let down. I have been very impressed with my other 6 UD1S releases. Maybe I have a ’hot stamper’ of the original?? Curious what others think when they get theirs.
