Dire Straits - S/T
1978/2019 MFSL 45 RPM Remaster
MFSL may be getting a lot of bad press lately but I can't imagine this album sounding any better. For years I thought my early original WB copy was one of the best sounding records in my collection and it does sound great but the MFSL remaster takes it to another level.

Thanks for the info @mammothguy54
Looking forward to a nice clean copy.

According to the Acoustic Sounds website the Deja Vu info is below.
Mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Studios
Pressed at Optimal in Germany
It looks like it is the same as what they released in the box sets in 2021 but this release will only be the original single album cuts.
Does anyone have experience with the box sets?

@slaw
Roger that. I'll be sure to post my thoughts when the album is received and given a serious listen. It is an Atlantic Records remaster sold through Acoustic Sounds so unfortunately not from Analog Productions.
I've got a long list of albums that I wish Analog Productions would consider and release.

C,S,N&Y - Deja Vu
1970 Atlantic Records
The title track is a beautiful and complex David Crosby masterpiece.
My original early pressing with great Audiophile SQ but with just a bit more background noise from the years than I care for so I have placed a preorder for the soon to be released 2021 remaster from Acoustic Sounds. Says it is pressed at Optimal in Germany. Hope I'm not disappointed.

The Beatles - Help!
1965/2009 Remaster - Parlophone Canada
The album was released during their more folky period just before Rubber Soul so it is beyond me why they would have included Dizzy Miss Lizzie on the album. It's hard to believe that they didn't have another song that would have better fit the mold of the album.

+1 on Thick As A Brick
I had just played my early Reprise Records copy and thought the SQ was excellent and it has held up well over the years with minimal noise.
I noticed there is a 50th anniversary version coming out but I'm skeptical that it won't match up to the original pressings. I'll wait for some reviews.

Back to Eddie

Great movie also.

Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick
1972 Reprise Records
Great SQ on this early copy.

@slaw
I very much enjoy most of the songs on Eddie's new album Earthling and definitely more than the last few Pearl Jam albums. I do wish he would have included a few of his acoustic based songs instead of some of the faster paced songs as his acoustic songs were always my favorites on the Pearl Jam albums.
One of my biggest regrets as far as concerts go was not seeing Eddie on his solo tour after the release of Ukulele Songs. Big mistake that I still regret to this day.
