Good value vintage pressing of CCR Cosmo’s Factory?


Kinda rediscovered my liking/appreciation for CCR. I only really want Cosmo’s Factory…I’m a new member of Discogs but trust you guys more.

Not interested in exotic pressings, *new pressings, etc

*YMMV, but I’ve never heard a modern repressing of anything that comes close to the best of the old ones….no matter what hype stickers are applied!

MY QUESTION: I’M willing to go $80 - $100 for a true NM-+ pressing of CF…what pressings/years should I be looking for if seeking best bang for that audio buck?

 

(And NO, I’m not using this to drum up an acquisition here! (I despise that greasy practice!))

Where do you find the info you posted?

I simply buy used in stores by visual condition, then price; or Discogs, sort by condition then scroll down the prices, from USA keeping shipping costs lower. Been successful so far. eBay, combo of description and 100% rating also works for me.

Considering Content: Excellent engineering: quality, space and placement, how mic'd resulting sound and imaging choices make a big difference for me, regardless of which pressing. When great, I typically remark: these guys knew what they were doing!

Do better pressings reveal the results of excellent engineering as well? Any source of comments about engineering choices/quality?

 

Curious, I just re-read your initial post, title and text..

At this point,

How would you re-word your thread's title, the initial comments and clarify your question?

I was curious as I said, and thought you would respond in earnest, not like you did.

Here, and the Sony/Olympus camera forums, I sometimes look back and wonder if I (or someone else) had worded the title differently would more/different type of people click on the thread.

Carry on being nasty, good for you!!!
