I visit Music Direct every now and then. As such, i know that several of the employees are "vinyl addicts". As such, i'm sure that they WILL do some vinyl, but how much is anyone's guess. Sean

Kelly, with all due respect, MoFi's original vinyl issues, with the exception of the first small batch cut by Stan Ricker, were truly horrible with shatteringly boosted highs; many of the original label releases sounded much better. Certainly the more recent round of reissues sounds better but not up to DCC standards or even the older Nautilus stuff. I think that they should be encouraged to do better. Vinyl addicts deserve the best product possible.

MoFi missed the mark on a great many of their CDs, too. In many instances, the original release sounded better than MoFi's remastered version. Looking at Holman's original post at the top of this thread, he said "Music Direct...has bought Mobile Fidelity and plan to start RELEASHING music again." That typo may have been the ultimate in Freudian slips!
