I enjoy reading these threads of audio geek pressings.
It inspires me to see if I have a period press, and play something I may have not heard for while.
Pulled out my 1971 Tamla TS 310 copy. Fortunately, it had a US cleaning before its last play, many years ago.
Such a great album. I think overall the recording isn't the greatest, but still a good listen.
My copy isn't bass shy. Maybe a little wooly, reasonably convincing. Marvin's voice is center, but not super holographic. The added subtle,reverb finishing his words can be heard-very cool.The instruments sound pretty balanced throughout the record.
This album is nearing 50. Listening to "Inner City Blues," paints a picture reminding you society hasn't evolved much-kinda sad.
The sonics nontheless, are nice.
I would be curious how my copy rates by "Hot Stamper" Tom Port standards.
Unquestionably, the album would present another layer of dimension on a nicer system than mine. I use an aging VPI Classic/Kiseki Blue thru tubes.
I wasn't aware there is an ULTRA version offered by Mofi. If a Mofi pressing is supposed to be great,why must there be an ULTRA, even "better" version?
Oh, forgot...audiophile, there is ALWAYS something better.
Audiophile press/resissue? I get it, but I prefer putting on my bin diving suit. There is a WHITE HOT STAMPER, waiting to be found,cleaned and played in a loving home.
