How to find vinyl?

Audioman4, Pink Floyd's DSOTM was never released as a double album, although there are many different pressings including the MoFi's and the rare Japanese pro use LPs. Perhaps what you are referring to is the original deluxe gatefold packaging where the album opens like a book.

I read a very interesting article last night on the web. It was about the MoFi recording of DSOTM. It said in the article that MoFi ruined the original master tape of DSOTM when someone put the tape on a deck, and accidentally pushed "RECORD". Part of the tail end of "Breathe" was over-recorded by some Supertramp music. The master was partly destroyed forever. I can't give the URL of this website, because I was reading so many things last night, that I can't remember what it was. But it was an interview with some MoFi guys that were the main force in the company. They also related a story about when they did the MoFi Beatles Orig. Master Recording Set. They hand carried all the Beatles original masters back from England in 2 locked suitcases on a plane. A punk in the airport,actually snatched one of the cases and ran with it. He didn't know what was in it, he was just a thief. They said that the MoFi guy that was carrying them turned into "Superman" and ran after the thief, caught him, and knocked him out with one of the suitcases. They had an 11 million dollar bond out on those master tapes. And we thought that studio recording was a boring job.

Viridian,
Your are correct... I meant that it was the folding album..
but it is only 1 lp!! But never the less, I have two copies and one is a mint picture disc...
Thanks

Great score Joe; I am sure you will get many, many hours of enjoyment from your new collection.

Twl, the first group of MoFis were mastered by the great Doug Sax and sound fantastic but there fairly few of them. Gary Giorgi supervised the later issues and it was rumored that he had hearing impairment, true of not, the highs were boosted on subsequent recordings. I really think most of them sound horrible, with very peaky treble and, in some cases, such as Aja, boosted bass as well. They were clearly playing around with frequency response. The DSOTM recordings are particularly murky and strident at the same time. A good British pressing on Harvest just kills them and the rare Japanese Pro Use LP on super heavy vinyl is roughly equal, but with a different set of strengths and weaknesses.
