MoFi Release Meets Expectations FINALLY

I have purchased 8-10 MoFi releases in the past year, but mostly I have been either underwhelmed or disappointed with the sound of them. The Pixies Doolittle lacks clarity and sounds really boomy. The Grateful Dead's Live/Dead does not come close in sound quality to the digital reissue. And of the four Elvis Costello reissues I bought, only Armed Forces sounds good enough to justify the cost.

I just got The Grateful Dead's Wake Of The Flood the other day, however, and it sounds amazing. They did a great job with the mastering on this one. Anyone else heard it?

"The MoFi Doolittle is fantastic."

I must be one of the only ones who thinks that they messed up on Doolittle. My copy sound very boomy in the bass and lacks mid-range detail. Surfer Rosa, on the other hand, is great.

I am just staying away from this overpriced and under performing label.

very easy to go out of business if your supposed to be an audiophile label and your stuff isn't. Hope MOFI reads this stuff. It's inexcusable to release albums that are compressed. However, they do have to use the master tapes (hopefully they are using them) and if they aren't good they aren't good. I wonder if they have to listen to the artist, many who have no clue about how to put out good sounding records or cd's. Boy you'd think they would, but look at metallica.
