Mine is unnumbered. A bassier, more modern interpretation of the album compared to the 2012 (and 2018). Every bit as worthy, and nice as an alternative listen, but the 2012 is a bit more immersive, punchy and realistic.
This does sound great, and this might be the best I've heard Alone Again Or, but overall I think the Bellman cut is a bit better and realistic. The MOFI rounds some of the album's edges off, and sometimes that's nice. Personally I think some of the strings are a bit sharp at times, as noticeable on the Bellman. But the MOFI rounds it a bit too much, especially with it's added low-mids that make it a bit muddy sounding. I do like how the MOFI has a slightly narrower soundstage compared to the Bellman, which makes some of that very hard panning a bit easier to hear. This is seen most on the previously mentioned Alone Again Or, where the intro panned guitar sounds more discernable near the beginning on the MOFI. But the panning is often very similar. Although Bellman's cut retains that edge while adding more low-end that doesn't go too far, and has more air overall. The strings really shine in comparison. Personally I hope that there's a pressing sometime in the future that meets in the middle as the Bellman still is a little bit too edgy but I bet that's just me or my system. Not a huge difference, but if you don't own the Bellman I really recommend picking it up. Plus it's a 33!
Best sounding version of this album! 45 rpm gives so much bigger space and soundstage than regular edition, and MOFI mastering gives such a different listening experience.
Listened to the Mofi version for the first time tonight… my first Mofi experience. I am in awe. Stunning. Silent. Majestic. Spacious. Lush. I’m in love.
Managed to snag a copy for. Music direct after being on back order for ages. This is easily one of the best sounding records I've ever heard. Tunes, silent vinyl, massive trippy soundstage, clarity. Absolutely perfect. 10/10. Easily one of the best Mofi albums I own. Maybe the people is just WOW!
At the end of The Good Humor Man there is a digital malfunction. The music stops and sort of skips it's weird. Other than that the album is flawless.this proves that it's digitally sourced. As long as it sounds good it doesn't matter to me but at these prices there should be no slip ups
