MFSL worth it?


Asked on another forum but it crashed. Anyway, got an MFSL  Allman Bros lp, cheap, didn't notice it's SEALED! With some much needed help, found it's selling for $125 on discogs, unsealed mint $70+. I have a Me75ed with a Shure ej stylus. How much better is it than my vintage copy? Play it or trade?

MFSL are just like any other pressing. Some were better, some were not.

Sometimes the masters were shot, played out.

Sometimes the match between the original recorder and the playback deck was poor. Even though the tones aligned, the music didn't.

Sometimes EQ copies were used as the master had been damaged.

Sometimes combination of tape, eq, lathe, computer and laquers detracted.

If you can get more than you paid, sell it!
