It was a long wait but it finally arrived.
ELO Eldorado on MoFi Super Vinyl.
Sounds absolutely fantastic.
|
The Doors - The Soft Parade
1969 - Elektra Records
Original copy with absolutely fantastic SQ but just a little bit of background noise on the quieter passages.
With this being my favorite Doors album thinking about picking up a new remastered copy but am concerned the SQ won't be as good and I really hate it when that happens.

Yes, another missed opportunity not buying All the Roadrunning when it was initially released on vinyl. I check every now and then and haven’t seen used copies for less than $400. Such a shame.
|
Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris - Real Live Roadrunning
Streaming but sure wish it was available on vinyl.
One of my favorite albums. Their version of Why Worry is a killer. Emmylou sounds like an angel.
|
Dire Straits - Making Movies
1980 WB Records
Great SQ but then again isn't that the case with all Dire Straits albums.
|
Genesis - Selling England By The Pound
My original 1973 Charisma/Atlantic copy. Audiophile SQ.
I had purchased the Rhino 2014 Half-Speed Remaster a few years back and while it is noise free the SQ and especially the bass is not even close to being as good as my original copy.
With that said I continue to listen to my original slightly noisy copy.
Such a shame.

Allman Brothers Band - Seven Turns
1990/2015 Friday Music Remaster

|
CCR - Cosmo's Factory
1970/2014 Fantasy Reissue
Great SQ pressing from QRP
|
Procol Harum - A Salty Dog
1969/2017 MOV Remaster
Great SQ and a great replacement for my original A&M pressing that had seen better days.
One of my favorites of many of their albums.

Dead quiet pressing from Pallas.
|
The Byrds - Mr Tambourine Man

Fantastic SQ pressed at QRP.
Clark, Hillman, Crosby, McGuinn and a 12 String Rickenbacker.
Who else could get away with covering four Dylan songs on their first album.

Amazing that Infidels was 20 years after his first album. And more amazing that he is still releasing albums.
|
Bob Dylan - Infidels
1983 Columbia Records
Love this album. Mark Knopfler and Mick Taylor on guitars.
|
Santana III - 1970/2010 Music On Vinyl Remaster
Great detail and deep bass but definitely not a warm analog pressing.
With that said it is a great great Santana album.
|
Fleetwood Mac - Penguin
1973/2020 Reprise Records reissue
I don't have an original pressing to compare to but this release sounds pretty good. All around great SQ.
|
Neil Young - Tonight's The Night
Original 1975 Reprise Records
Great SQ all around. I don't remember it having such deep bass. Fantastic.
|
Beach Boys - Smiley Smile
Analog Productions 180 gram Mono remaster just received from Acoustic Sounds after being on backorder for about a year.
I've been waiting a long time to replace my original 1967 Brother Mono copy.and I am not disappointed.
Dead quiet and the SQ is fantastic from the whispers on Wonderful to the thumping bass on Getting Hungry.
|
The Byrds - Fifth Dimension
Sundazed 2013 Mono Reissue - Kevin Gray lacquer
Great SQ. The bass at the start of Eight Miles High is a 10.
|
@spiritofradio
I agree. Ryan Adams has released a ton of great albums since going solo but I still favor the Whiskeytown albums.

Whiskeytown - Stranger’s Almanac
”Where’s my nurse with my bottle of pills”
Who else but Ryan Adams

Crisis was one of my favorites by Supertramp. Saw them live right after the Quietest Moments album. I can still envision them on stage. One of my favorite bands from the 70’s.Hodgson and Davies were a great pair.

Supertramp - Crisis! What Crisis? 1975 A&M Records
A great album that doesn't get enough credit in the shadow of Crime Of The Century and Breakfast In America.

Yes, Todd Rundgren was a true genius of the time with the first three sides of the albums instruments and vocals performed by him solo in the studio.
Coincidently he also produced Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell album.

Following up on the Degritter discussion not sure if you guys read the article from The Audiophile Man.
VINYL: IT HAS TO EARN THE RIGHT

Noticed your question to @slaw on the SQ of the Colvin & Earle Fantasy Records album and for my own curiosity did a comparison of my copy to digital. I purchased the album shortly after it was released so could possibly be a different pressing than what slaw just received.
I streamed the album on Amazon which has a decent 24/96 hi-res offering and compared the vinyl copy in real time switching back and forth between the two sources.
The vinyl copy sounds real nice as I have always thought and is definitely warmer than the digital version as expected. But, the highs on the digital version sounded more crisp and forward. The acoustic guitars and voices sounded somewhat more crisp but not excessive. Bass sounded similar on both versions. At least on that listening I preferred the digital version.
Also, Steve Earle recorded on even his earliest albums digitally so can't say if this album was recorded initially in analog or digital.
The report you get from slaw could be completely the opposite based on the different systems and slaw most likely has a much more technically audiophile ear than mine.
For what it's worth there you go.
