I'm shocked at how great it sounds. I thought that all of the tracks, or most, were digitally recorded, so I didn't expect that much, but the record is fantastic.
Plus, I really love Foo Fighters anyway, so.... |

The Beatles - Beatles Forever (Hey Jude) another sublime Japanese pressing. It was worth the money.

I loved Inglorious Basterds! Christopher Waltz steals the movie, and I am shocked by how good Diane Kruger is in that movie, she's great, as well as the beautiful French actress who plays the theater owner.
I need to rent that again, my wife didn't want to see it because of the violence, but I know the movie well enough to zip through the parts she will gross out at. |

Audiofeil, I mistyped, it is 1979. Thanks for being the hall monitor. |
S-R-WoTen, I know, I love MFSL stuff and that is a great album. I'm not happy about it, I should have returned it when I first got it, but didn't get around to it then.
Too late now. |
MFSL - Beatles Box
I know some of the record afficiandos don't love this set, but to me it's sublime. I have wanted one since buying my first MFSL Beatle album, and I finally bit the bullet, bid up and got one for what I feel was a great price.
I couldn't be happier, the vinyl is in sublime shape.
No, it's not the Japanese mono versions, which I have heard a few of recently, but I still think they are stellar.
An all Beatles weekend is in store. |

The Yes Album (180g pressing)
AC/DC - Back in Black (180 g)

Frank Sinatra Live in Paris (MFSL 180g) |
Richard, it's a Rhino reissue. It sounds great, I'm 99% sure it is not a digitized remaster. It does not sound that way, nor does is say that anywhere. It is a huge imporvement over the nasty, surface noise vinyl from my 80's copy of this album. |

The entire MFSL Beatles Box
I know lots of Beatle vinyl-philes don't love this set, but man, it's the best sounding Beatles vinyls I have ever heard (well, I have heard some of the red vinyl Japanese set, and it's prob better, but I have not heard all of it0.
Loving the Beatles and Football on a rainy Sunday!! |
Great new (to me) Chris Isaak- Heart Shaped Box
And the very hard to find Badfinger- Straight Up (perfect!) |
new Kings of Leon - Come Around Sundown love it
Widespread Panic - Dirty Side Down, seems better with each listen
The Beatles - White Album (from the MFSL box)
The Power Station (yeah, I admit it)
Badfinger - Straight Up (again, sorry can't get enough of this, I see their albums just came out on CD for the first time in years. One of the saddest stories in music, for what was an excellent pop band) |
Emorrisiv, yes, you are correct. I was channeling my Nirvana, when I wrote that. Heart Shaped World. It is a great copy, no pops, no cracks, nada. Like new, bought from Greece on eBay, but it's a US printing? Pretty cool.
The Badfinger copy that I got was from a local dealer, and it's a German pressing. He doesn't sell much on eBay, and I glad he didn't sell this one there. It's so good it would have gone for 3 times what I paid him. |

The Beatles Red and Blue greatest hits albums. I found them last year, in NM condition, and seldom bring them out. Listing to these, it makes me realize why digital music is so popular. They don't sound 30% as good as my MOFI boxed set (the recordings, the records are pristine), but having all of the greatest hits songs compilated is so convenient.
Actully, I hate to say this, but the remastered 2009 digital recordings, in AppleLossless, played through my Wyred4Sound DAC 2, sound better than these vinyl versions.
Sad to say. |
All Led-ed night:
Led Zeppelin
II
IV (Ruins album)
Houses of the Holy
Physical Graffiti
all first pressings from Japan. I found a guy in Tokyo and bought most every Led Zeppelin album he had. They are all so pristine. Not a pop, click or hum in the lot. Very little yellowing on any of the covers, but the slight smell of age from the insides. Just a great find. I couldn't be happier. |

Heart - Greatest Hits
The Clash - Combat Rock
You know I bought a VPI 17 and sold my VPI 16, and I must say it's much easier to clean records with this thing. Easier than I thought it would be, and there's a big difference in the records. The automatic wash wand obviously does a better job than I did manually. |
The Beatles (MOFI Box)- Let It Be
Abbey Road
Help
Revolver
The Replacements - Don't Tell a Soul
Pleased to Meet Me
Foo Fighters - Greatest Hits
Led Zeppelin - III (finally found a reasonably price Japanese pressing.

Big Star - No 1 Record
Pearl Jam - 10 (new pressing)
Sade - Promise
Black Keys - El Camino
Stone Temple Pilots - Core (new 180g) AWESOME
Heart - Dreamboat Annie
Led Zeppelin - II (1st Japanese Pressing)
Anita Baker - Rapture (crappy copy, but what a voice)
no Magnepan's is odd, but the Harbeth's with Cary/Audio Research in a small room is wonderful so far. |
Adele - 21
Les Miserable - Original Soundtrack
Elton John - Goodbye Yellowbrick Road
Yaz - Upstairs at Eric's
Journey - Escape
REM - Life's Rich Pagaent
King's of Leon - Mechanical Bull |

AC/DC - Back in Black
Heart - Greatest Hits
Bryan Adams - Cuts Like a Knife (wife wanted to hear it, but I must admit, I was signing along) |
Beatles - Mono Box
Soundgarden - Superunknown
Shelby Lynne - Just a Little Lovin (new 200g pressing, and it has a scratch!)
Stone Temple Pilots - Purple |
Both are new pressings. The Soundgarden is on 200 g vinyl, and is a current "special issue' that I have wanted for a year but didn't want to pay the high cost. I finally broke down and bought it, glad I did. I never owned the CD, only a few digital songs from it, but it is one of the best albums from that era. Like I found something new.
The STP album sounds great. One of my favorite albums.
On the Beatles Mono's, the version of Revolution, on the Past Masters disc, is amazing. Very hard rocking. |
The Beatles "Help"
Kings of Leon "Only by The Night"
Shelby Lynne "Just a Little Lovin"
The Police "Zenyota Mondata"
The Replacements "Pleased to Meet Me" |
