Thoughts on the new pressing of "Bookends" lp from MFSL


Listening to it now. Has greater extension but will have to directly compare to a one of my early copies to understand how the digital step has or hasn’t affected the SQ in any meaningful way. The siblance on "s"s, seems more pronounced/noticeable.

@Imnop, nice to get confirmation on the Japanese pressing.

Regarding MFSL vinyl remasters....I’m a slow learner..... aways the dreamer to my detriment.

"Bookends" has always been a favorite of mine in terms of it's influence in my life.

Always dreamed of one day stumbling across a mint mono lp.

.....this copy was a $1 find decades ago. In spite of some surface noise, it’s sounds better than the MFSL to me. The least sibilance of the three pressings. My favorite is the Japanese pressing.

I mistakenly deleted a post above. I finished listening to my Japanese pressing. It is more vibrant, with greater inner detail. Paul’s acoustic on "Mrs. Robinson" is so clear. Going to put on a pp "360° Stereo" now.
