What's the story with Japanese pressings?


Hello:

I'm curious if these re-release Japanese pressings are really of superior quality. Compared to other labels (Mosaic, Speakers Corner, etc) are they worth looking out for and if so what makes them better (manufacturing or sonically).

Thanks!

the universal japan pressings i've bought are all incredible. the closest thing to the originals i've yet to hear.....quiet and well made as well. the Steely Dan-Aja release is much better than the domestic cisco release. jimi Hendrix/Axiss....all the Nick Drakes....Rolling Sones, etc....all superb, if a bit pricey.
fjn04....i think you'll find the uni/japan release to be closer to the original abc. the cisco release isn't bad, if you haven't heard the real thing.
