Mini-review of "Fragile" MFSL UD1S 45rpm
To start, my only good reference is my EU/Atlantic pressing with the normal orange/white strip/ green label. Not the more prized plum/orange label.
Upon first listen to side one, nothing really jumped out at me. Having said this, nothing was wrong at all. ( You know how expectations can interfere with reality?)
Going forward, the music seems to just draw me in. I think this lp just gets incrementally better from start to finish. I think this is what early analog was all about: it has so much soul and frankly, soothes the soul. The louder the better.
There's much more "meat on the bones" here. I've read some negative members' comments and my feeling is they are too closely referring to the current state of recording quality. I feel sad that they cannot tell a difference. I have found that after listening to current recordings, it's good to go back in time to real analog recordings to get and keep a sense of "rightness".
Glad I bought it, own it!
Oh, and BTW, it's pressed on center! |

@tomic601 ,
It seems very often you mention giving away a Basis here, a Denon there...
What a giving person!
BTW, put me on your list.

"Pretty Good"....wow, how does this sort of lyric come from a then, (new to us) artist and decades later, and have just as much significance? |
I officially joined the ranks of the unemployed. Go stand in line tomorrow. |
Uber,
Great! Remember at least 2" apart. |
uber,
Florida.... nice place to visit, wouldn't want to live there. |
Forgot to mention.. have been listening to Grant Lee Buffalo "Fuzzy" MOV
Well back to work tomorrow. |
As some US cleaning posters seem as their priority,( cleaning the maximum lps at once) is not a great way of optimizing the positive effects of US cleaning. The very cleaning method they invested in isn’t being used to it’s maximum potential.
This is Vinyl Playback people! It requires the very best an end-user can offer. |

@reubent,
If your a GH fan, I hope you have his tribute to Jason Molina on vinyl. If not, you should get it soon.
Cheers.

@mbd3,
"Rush" does have great music on it. Not a bad movie either. Love how they worked "Bridge of Sighs" in.

Robert Gordon w/ Link Wray "Fresh Fish Special"

@noromance ,
No problem. My copy is basic black.
FWIW, Fremer posted while back that this wasn't an issue now.
I haven't found it to be one either. |
Fred Neil...wow...what a voice! |
In honor and memory of John Prine.... I freshly cleaned his S/T lp.
So sad that he survived cancer, twice, yet this corona virus took him out.
He will be missed and always loved. |

@bkeske,
Another vote for the Rega, if you use one of their carts, the 3 point mounting makes set-up fool proof. |
|
I've found a new love for "Pure Comedy"
SQ is fantastic! |
Chris Isaak "Wicked Game" the UK/lp...BEST!
John MayerTrio "Try!" ( although he's a (Man-Whore), he's got the groove!
|
I have the Universal reissue from 20 ? years ago and it sounds great! Has the flame cover. This may be one of those recordings that will always sound good. |
"Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore" |
Fred Neil "Midnight Cowboy" soundtrack
Search this one out! |
Journey "Evolution"
Nobody ever plays Journey. Why? |
I saw them, I guess 20 years ago?> I was gifted the tickets. Upon listening at the show, there was a portion that introduced the players.... when Steve Ajerrie was introduced,I was dumbfounded. Up until then, I thought it was Steve Perry. |

You have a (WPP) white person problem when a device/app tells you what you should know. |
Hi @16f4,
You got me brother. Hope all is well. |

Jayhawks "Tomorrow the Green Grass".
A lot of Byrds going on here?
|
loomisjohnson,
Have you compared it to "Let It Be" (Naked)?
I'd go for "Abbey Road" or "Rubber Soul" or even "Revolver" (if was recorded better). "A Hard Day's Night" is underrated, IMO.
Happy Listening!
