MoFi controversy

Dear @sokogear  : Elusive Disc is a direct retailer of MoFi. You can read in the link: instock.

" left only 10K " was an ironic way to said things. MoFi pressesd 10K LPs of this sample.

I was under the impression that any authorized retailer selling Mofis had to charge list price and not scalp like what happens in the resale market. I think Elusive Disc buys from individuals AND manufacturers, and in this case they probably paid more for this copy than a dealer pays.

in any event, Mofi is sold out. I think the only one available just came out within the past week or two, The Eagles On the Border. They vary the amount they press based on what they think the market will bear. They started 5 years ago with 2500 per title, but now it varies quite a bit. I think the minimum now is 5K and it goes up to 40K with Thriller.

The 1-Step of Tapestry is not one of my best sounding LP’s (the original recording precludes such a possibility), but it is a vast improvement on the original Ode Records LP, as well a moderate one on the 1-LP 33-1/3 MoFi pressing of the album (I have both). Anyone who wants to settle for an Ode pressing of this wonderful album, be my guest.

Could Analogue Productions have made a better sounding LP using the analog multi-track 2" tapes as their lacquer-cutting source? We’ll most likely never know.

What about Speakers Corner? Excellent, discounts available, but for some reason they don’t get that many titles. My Steely Dan Can’t Buy a Thrill is from them and it's incredible. The AS UHQR doesn’t tempt me, but if anyone out there has my reissue snd buys the UHQR, I’d like to hear your thoughts.

@sokogear. Yup, I have quite a few Speakers Corner LP's, both Classical and Pop. SC is my second favorite reissue label.
