Reviews
-
Amazing. It’s a bit quieter press than the original. Which I think brings out the bass and electric piano/organ amazingly. The detail is clear as day. -
The audio quality is genuinely amazing, I’ve never heard this album sound anywhere near this good before -
Really clear and isolated. So happy to own this. After hearing these three songs countless times on beat vinyl or streamed mp3s (or off an iPod touch with a youtube-to-mp3.org rip, RIP), this just wipes any other listening experience. A little sad to retire my copy from when I was a little girl, but it served me well.
I was nervous because my Sticky Fingers issued about the same time sounds not it's best. Guess the original masters of it aren't great is all. The original masters paired with the MoFi finishing touches really sells this as the best version to date. Them strings in Siberian Khatru are nasty! MoFi wins again. -
What can I say? Listening to this pressing from MOFI is a revelation. The instruments are so distinct and clear. It is pure joy to spin this one.
-
Is there inner ring distortion on this copy? I sold my vinyl copy and am sticking with CD because the inner ring distortion ruins it for me.
-
The sound quality is amazing! You will hear with clarity the Masterpiece that this is. The extra price is well worth it.
