Amazing pressing for a good buck.
I also own the Original Master Record from 2015. I must say, the Original Master Record is a bit better than this pressing, but its much more expensive than this pressing.
But overal, its very good. It also come with a nice half speed master certificate which looks fabelous.
Only downside is that the LP's catches alot of dust and i have to make them dust free regulary.
The Original Master Record stays dust free, mainly because the sleeve of the Original Master Record is dust free.- #029218 (They're still shipping B2)
Skips on 'Walk of Life' after Mark Knopfler's "Wahoo" on a SL-1300 MK2 & Grado Green3. - Sounds great - new sealed album looks like it was thrown down a mineshaft before they put it in the sleeve though. No skips but noticeable noise. Visible scuffs scratches and dirt? Still…great album
- The quality of the CD itself is great, the digipack and the information about JVC's XRCD2 mastering and manufacturing process inside the booklet is a nice touch.
I liked the audio quality a lot, I cannot compare with vinyl because I don't have any, I could compare with a ripped version of MFSL 2-441, even though the XRCD2 version is a bit compressed (Foobar2000 DR10 vs DR14 for the ripped MFSL), I didn't realized the compression while listening.
Very good version in my opinion. referencing Brothers In Arms (2×LP, 45 RPM, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Half-Speed Mastered, 180g) ARHSDLP004
This is absolutely incredible. The sound is just amazingly good. Really happy with this one. Recommended!referencing Brothers In Arms (LP, Album) 824 499-1
I have this copy from 1985, when released. As I grow and my hifi system gets better as well. This release is one of my 10 best audiophile. Cristine highs , fat bottom, stereo image !!!
Grab it if you find it.- Have always held off buying this version as I have a UK OG pressing & also the SBM remastered CD which IMO sounds fantastic. However, as I have the first 4 DS Mofi vinyl albums and with this now going out of print, I finally bit the bullet.
Mine is numbered 28853 & is flawless.
IMO this is by far the best I have ever heard this album sound & it’s certainly outshines the first 4 DS Mofi releases. I’ll now have to get On Every Street to complete the studio album set.
Sorry I didn’t get this much earlier as IMO it’s worth every penny & more. My advice is don’t wait until they are all gone.
One of the best sounding pressings I have ever heard on any system in all my 60+ years. - Edited 2 months ago

Très dynamique, des détails, des timbres, une belle cohérence d'ensemble. Ce CD de très belle facture rivalise avec le SACD de Mofi (que je trouve plus fin sur la voix, mais moins excitant sur les impacts de la batterie). Highly recommended ! referencing Brothers In Arms (CD, Album) 824 499-2
BUYER BEWARE: My copy of this release has started to pinhole.
My advice is to rip it asap before the pinholes increase & become problematic for playback of the CD.
