@mammothguy54: Yeah, Music On Vinyl is a terrible reissue label. Everyone here should avoid all their LP's. I'm surprised Acoustic Sounds is selling them. The MoFi A Salty Dog was $35 when released, but as with all MoFi's the price skyrocketed when it became out-of-print. But don't despair: the original UK pressing on EMI/Regal Zonophone also sounds fantastic (I have both), and should be available for less $. The trick will be finding a copy in Near Mint condition. I too saw Procol Harum in 1971 (at The Fillmore), and though I greatly missed the organ playing of Matthew Fisher, the group was great live. By the way fans of the original PH line-up (the first three albums): Matthew Fisher's three solo albums are well worth looking for. I love 'em! |
Given the big ’bru-ha-ha’ over Mofi right now, Im not sure what or who to believe....except folks here who have much more experience with these repressing/remasters than I. I’m typically pleased with my original pressings, and really don’t have a lot of options when it comes to classical anyway.....but I have rarely heard the various reissues in comparison. As they say, ’ignorance is bliss’ :D |
@slaw - I have "Who's Next" from MoV and I think it's pretty darn good. Don't have an original to compare though. Good originals seemed too expensive at the time I was looking. Checked the reviews on Discogs and the reviews of the MoV were very positive. Just listened to it a couple of nights ago. Really good... I also have Elvis Costello - "All This Useless Beauty" on MoV and it is also very good. I think I have a couple more. I'll be on the lookout for them and I'll give them a spin if/when I find them. |
@reubent , I guess it’s never a hard and fast rule but we have to go by our own experiences. But since MOV uses digital files, anything originally recorded digitally, won’t be as suseptible to sounding bad or worse. One thing is about MOV, I’m usually impressed with the vinyl quality and pressing quality. Simply Vinyl wasn’t thought very well of by many end users but the ones I own sound very good. One of them happens to be Tommy. |
Hey Steve, I would like to hear a super clean original copy of "Who's Next" on my system for reference. Given a choice, I would typically prefer an original pressing, or at least a re-issue or re-master from the original analog tapes. But I'm happy with the MoV "Who's Next" and "All This Useless Beauty". You're correct about one thing for sure: The Vinyl is quiet. |
