MFSL worth it?

Thanks for the replies. Not my favorite allman bros album, but not bad. When it was new we passed it around. Those were the days. I paid $2 so I can't lose. I will probably take it to the big city and see what I can get in store credit.How did we listen to records and not care about condition or cleanliness? Sometimes I wish...but records are magic and cds are bits. Again, thanks

MFSL are just like any other pressing. Some were better, some were not.

Sometimes the masters were shot, played out.

Sometimes the match between the original recorder and the playback deck was poor. Even though the tones aligned, the music didn't.

Sometimes EQ copies were used as the master had been damaged.

Sometimes combination of tape, eq, lathe, computer and laquers detracted.

If you can get more than you paid, sell it!

If you're an AB fan, open it up and enjoy. MFSL vinyl consistently has sounded fabulous in my experience. The Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers pressing that they did had so much detail and resolution, it blew away the original. I can't speak as what they've been up to recently, but in the 80's, MFSL was the place to go for the best sounding source material.

I hear the difference MFSL LP's that I own from the late 70's and 80's. For me they are the very best recorded Lp's ever made. If your lucky enough to have a collection of them, by all means do your self a favor and record them on a 1/2 tape recorder, and try not to over play them .  Keep them all and enjoy them ,they will never make those MFSL like JVC did made  in Japan. After saying all that tune up your system sit back and crack that system up and enjoy life is too short.......

In my collection of LPs, from the 80s, I have a dozen or so MFSL LPs, everything from orchestral classics to Neil Diamond's "Hot August Night" to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon". Since I bought them for their good sound and not for their future collector's value, I played them a great deal over the years and still do and they still sound very good.
 
I'd say, unless you're in a pinch for money, keep the sealed album sealed and hold on to it for a while, buy the unsealed album, take good care of it, but play it and enjoy the great sound...JMO.....Jim
