New UHQR recordings VS the 8 produced in the early 80's. Are the new releases as good?

Had to check the serial number on my Supertramp.  #2382.  Still plays very nice after so may times on my turntable.  Got me to re-check an MFSL album I have of Alan Parson's "Tales of Mystery and Imagination."  #17.  That also is a sweet copy.  But anything I've heard that Alan Parson had his hands in is always really well recorded.  That man knows how to master a recording.

I have all 8 of the MOFI UHQRs from back in the day and about a dozen of Chad's latest.  Most are excellent.

I agree that they are from very different adaptations...

Having all 8 of the originals is something special indeed.  I wish I would have purchased more of the MFSL albums back in the day.  I didn't know anything about them until after the fact as usual.  The few I do own I really enjoy.  One of my favorites is Rick Wakemen's "Journey to the Center of the Earth."  The recording & mastering is really good.  As an added bonus I was able to see it live at the Hollywood Bowl way back when.  

I've never heard an original MFSL UHQR. I have heard a few newer Analog Productions UHQRs. I also own several 1Steps and original MFSL on the JVC vinyl formulation and later 45RPM stereos & monos. IMO, the $60 Analog Productions vinyl releases are the best value for new audiophile releases. Impex and Intervention are just as good.
