Whats on your turntable tonight?

Rush

Hi. If you and Joe decide to do a shoot out with Crime of the Century I have the MFSL and Mike may have an original UK.
I've always loved that album. The Speakers Corner is supposed to be very very good and some have reported it's better than an original UK.

I have not heard it or know who mastered it but someone on Steve Holffman's site stated they could not get through more than two songs. It is supposedly extremely bright sounding. More than likely it's been remastered in a digital workstaion, transferred to a DAT and cut from that. I would save up for the DCC and if that's not possible look for a UK original which is much cheaper. I also believe that it was issued a few years back when EMI was celebrating their 100th anniversary. They released various titles with some being from analog tapes and others from digital masters. According to some info I just found The EMI Millenium series LP CENT 1 TO 20 are digital and LP CENT 21 and on are analog. Queens's ANATO would be from a digital master since it's catalog number is LP CENT 12. Here is a partial discography for this title excluding the latest 30th edition.

LP EMI EMTC 103 UK
LP EMI DC-10 (France white vinyl)
LP EMI 5C 06297176 (Netherlands white vinyl)

LP EMI P 10075 (Japan)
LP MFSL MFSL 1-067 (US, half speed remaster)
LP EMI LPCENT 12 (EMI 100th anniversary 1997, remastered)
