I had been searching for a mint MOFI copy of "Crime Of The Century" I have seen several on e-Bay but the prices they are getting is absurd.I contacted a fairly well known vinyl dealer from L.A who also is known to be quite an authority on reissues.He recommended getting a copy of "Crime" on the Speakers Corner label.He also said besides the rare older English issues, the Speakers corner was the best reissue of "Crime"he had heard,including MOFI.I then contacted a Audiogon member who's advice and knowledge I respect very much.He assured me if this dealer,whom he knows, very highly recommended the Speakers Corner Label,then that was good enough for him.I recieved my copy today.Very nice 180 gm.The vinyl is dead quiet.The fidelity is out of this world.Huge,deep stage.Bass that has to be heard!! I know now I made the right decision.I am so glad I didnt spend $100 or more on a used MOFI!! I finally have a NEW KILLER copy of the great classic, Super Tramps- CRIME OF THE CENTURY!!!!
Viva la Vinyl!!
Hey fellow vinylphiles! How about some feedback on any new vinyl discoveries, particularly on the fairly regular stream of reissues. Any real gems? Any dogs to avoid? None of us want to drop 25-30 bucks on a 180 gram slab 'o' vinyl only to discover something better heard on CD (OK you CD diehards, no offense - I listen to the silver discs too, just not NEARLY as often) Anyway, let's hear it for the continuing vinyl renaissance!
