I'm glad this came out but the fact that it didn't include the Down at the Rock'n'Roll Club alt as well as I'm Your Man and All the Way from the 1990 CD is disappointing. Also my main reason for getting this was the other alternate masters (the band...

If only they provided a picture of the tape box to prove the source.

sovlsacrifice is correct in general. However outfits like Tone Poet and Music Matters and AP will not run parts to end of life. They limit the number of fathers, mothers, and stampers--on some releases AP says no more than 500 LPs per stamper.

Runouts? Any comps to CD or OG vinyl versions please.

Bass is good, using high end equipment with nearly full range speakers (that run a bit bass heavy).
|
|
Some of the recordings were made to disk so the crackle is baked in.

It's sweet sounding, tuneful, more detailed than any other version, and the high end of the cymbals has more character. Now on an absolute scale, it's dead sounding, but this sounds more normal that the others. However, it is mastered at low volume....

This is a very high quality mastering and pressing. It resolves the various instruments better than my original or the Bellman version. While many will prefer it to the original, I would say it is on par because the OG is just a little more...

Haven't heard the original but I'm getting huge, sweet sound reproduction from this classic LP.

Strongest release from underrated band post Articles of Faith and pre-Karate.

An excellent pressing, shoulder to shoulder with Speakers Corner IMO. This has the edge in the treble, which is a bit harsh on the SC, and to taste, perhaps in the bass, which is slightly less than the SC.

mf_goon--the MoV is to my ears the best (not having heard the JNH or RKS versions). (VPI Classic 3 and other pretty high end equipment used). The recording is ProTools which means digital masters which means as AD conversion improves, better versions...

Seriously? That's really disappointing. I already have a 60s copy.

Quick primer on audio quality:
1947 recordings were made direct to disk just like before WW2. The masters are not tape so there are artifacts baked in--distortion and noises. Some issues of this material cut the treble to reduce the artifacts. Some... See full review |

I can only assume RodriRodriguez is not familiar with these recordings. These 1947/48 recordings, some made direct to disc like pre-war recordings, have never been modern high fidelity (though they qualified in the era of shellac, when they were put...

Surprisingly close to being the greatest unsung album of all time.
|
|
This is the best sounding version in my opinion--have 10", Japan CD, Canadian CD.

For a record of this vintage there are likely at least 3 copies for every one documented by a discogs user.
