Don Henley - Building The Perfect Beast Product No: AGEF 49151
Available: BackOrdered
Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: Geffen

Excellent Remaster of a Classic!

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, December 29, 2024 by Larry H. Exceptional version of a great album! Remastering on two discs of 180g vinyl was a good move! The music is more open with crisp separation. David Paich's piano solo on Sunset Grill sounded like he was playing in the room! Every track is crystal clear. I have an earlier vinyl copy and one on CD, but this release is by far, the best. When it becomes available again, don't miss it!


Santana - Abraxas Product No: AMOB 539

Stunning Highly recommended

5 Stars
Posted Friday, December 20, 2024 by Dan I've heard this LP many times from the time if first was released in 1969. I own a recent SACD and an old US pressing that is okay the SACD is great. This LP easily stands out. It's a significant improvement in every way detail, depth and organic for lack of better words. I'm very pleased to have this release.


Simon & Garfunkel - Bookends Product No: AMOB 541
Available: BackOrdered

Label: Mobile Fidelity

5 Stars
Posted Saturday, October 5, 2024 by Jake C I want to give this 4 stars because it came out of the package with visible fingerprints and a light scuff. Nice "QC", guys. Definitely a MoFi issue and *not* an Acoustic Sounds issue. At least MoFi has stopped adding the folded marketing inserts which undoubtedly add to their infamous problems with seam splits on the jackets.

I am forced to give 5 stars, however, as this is simply a stunning effort. This is easily one of the most impressive- sounding records in my collection. The clarity, separation, soundstage, and life in the recording are just all-around impressive, add to that the deep black backgrounds and I just have to say the $60 was money well-spent. I would happily use this as a reference recording to show off the capabilities of my system to guests.


The Allman Brothers Band - Eat A Peach Product No: AMER 813312
Available: BackOrdered
Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: Mercury

Sounded Great

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, December 7, 2023 by Jim Was a pretty clean copy, just a few clicks, ticks & pops even after a bath on the VPI. For me a new record should be nothing but music. Was Tolerable. I in fact bought a copy at a local store and it had a little more noise. I took it back for refund. I no longer have the original lp to compare to. Reviewed on Rega Planner 3 with upgraded power supply through Moon phono preamp to NAD receiver out to Dynaudio Excite X44 speakers.

Stunning

Posted Monday, October 2, 2023 by Deez I’m sure the 45RPM version coming soon will be something special, but this 33 may be the best 33 I own. $30 well spent!


Genesis - A Trick Of The Tail Product No: AATL 1879640
Available: BackOrdered
Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: Atlantic

Dead silence pressing, very good sound quality

5 Stars
Posted Tuesday, March 28, 2023 by Michel Grenier I own this album in CD but as an audiophile in this field 1988, I set back my turntable for my second audio kit and want to have it in LP, so I ordered this one. This album always have more high frequencies as Selling England by the pound (witch I prefer for sound recording). My copy is very quiet and I am very happy with this purchase. I had ordered other 180g pressing here but some crack and pop are audible, this pressing quality is excellent, nothing to say, go and buy it.


Elton John - Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy Product No: AMER 61801
Available: BackOrdered
Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: Mercury

Very low output

5 Stars
Posted Tuesday, February 14, 2023 by Mike The output seems to be really low on this release (European) and this one is being sold in the US for some reason versus the US release. Had to turn my amp up from 9 o'clock to 11-11:30. Packaging is nice and record is flat.


Elton John - Honky Chateau Product No: AMER 5738307
Available: BackOrdered
Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: Mercury

Tops in comparison to all 1st pressings

5 Stars
Posted Friday, December 2, 2022 by Derek Spratt I have collected over 20 Honky Chateau pressings from 1st press UK and 1st press US and Canada and other later pressings, always searching for the best sonic and cleanest/quietest results and this 2017 pressing beats them all - simply put the remastering is a dream come true and when combined with the improved pressing quality, this is a 'must have' along with all other early EJ LPs which were remastered to vinyl starting in 2014 with GBYBR. Strangely, these are not available on CD or streaming yet - except the 50th Ann Madman release. Hmmm. Vinyl is the way forward for now.

Fantastic Pressing, Great Sound!

5 Stars
Posted Wednesday, September 7, 2022 by Joseph Roth If you love this album and don't have a clean copy that hasn't been battered by time and teenage fandom, get this! It has punch, it has warmth, it has the Edge up and front, and the Eno/Lanois production really shines. Thanks and great work!

The Moody Blues - Collected Product No: AMOV 1816
Available: BackOrdered
Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: Music On Vinyl

Great Moodys collection (minus In Your Wildest Dreams)

4 Stars
Posted Monday, July 25, 2022 by Zach Pierce I love this compilation. It has great songs from the 60s and early to mid 70s. The music sounds great and the equalization is very well done. The only thing that is missing is their 80s hits like “in your wildest dreams“ which I am surprised they didn’t put on this. Pick it up.


John Denver - His Ultimate Collection Product No: ASON 9951301

Excellent quality.

Posted Saturday, June 11, 2022 by Chris Very quiet and very clear. Sounds better than many older recordings. Dynamic and no fatigue. I could listen to this all day.


Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Product No: APFLR 42618
Available: BackOrdered
Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: Pink Floyd Records

Clearer than the EMI version

5 Stars
Posted Friday, March 25, 2022 by Brian I bought The Wall in both the EMI label and the Pink Floyd label. You can read the review on elsewhere on Acoustic Sounds. I mention that because I believe the quality of the Pink Floyd label is simply better than their EMI counterparts.

Immediately upon playing the Pink Floyd label version, I noticed the sound was sharper than the recent EMI remaster. It's as if they took the EMI version and buffed it to a shiny luster. Somewhere, I gave the EMI version a 5 star rating, but it needs to be changed to 4 stars, because the Pink Floyd label is now the 5 star album.

I directly compared both versions of "Have a Cigar". In the Pink Floyd version, you can more hear more symbol decay. On the guitar that starts "Wish You Were Here", you can clearly hear fingers sliding up/down the strings, while I could not on the EMI version. I could go on, but I think you get the idea.

This label has now produced two albums of equal quality. I will now order the rest.

Steve Miller Band - Book Of Dreams Product No: ACAP 9913

Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: Capitol

Very Good re-issue

4 Stars
Posted Friday, December 3, 2021 by Joey1127 This re-issue is pretty dang good. The packaging is what really impresses me. The inner sleeve, picture labels, and the jacket are as close to the original as you can get. The vinyl is a pinkish red color...but actually sounds better than most of the re-presses that have been done over the years. very quiet! This one's a winner for sure! If you don't want to fuss with finding a MINT original, this one will make you very happy...

RTI - HQ 180

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, October 21, 2021 by TG I usually shy away from colored vinyl but this pressing from RTI is excellent. My first Friday Records album and this one is a winner. Great SQ.

Traffic - John Barleycorn Must Die Product No: AISL 7751256
Available: BackOrdered
Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: Island Records

JB must live!

4 Stars
Posted Sunday, September 19, 2021 by Robert Hildebrandt This european pressing from the master tapes is crisp but full in the bottom end. The original version was slightly muddy but the remaster from the original tapes is full of detail. The packaging is one star below because the original was a fold out with the superb centre colour image and also was more like a real cardboard texture. This time there is no fold-out but the centre picture is provided as a poster. Very impressed by how quiet this pressing was.

Gordon Lightfoot - Gord's Gold Product No: AFRM 212237
Available: BackOrdered
Category: 180 Gram Vinyl Record
Label: Friday Music

No Edmund Fitzgerald

4 Stars
Posted Thursday, July 29, 2021 by Brian VanPelt Other than the omission of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, this is just about perfect. My copy is pretty much dead silent and all of the songs are vibrant and there is a nice uniformity to the sound of all the songs (that's not always true of a greatest hits album). The sound is open/spacious, and stretches to what seems like a little beyond the outer speaker edges. For most songs, Gordon's voice is centered along with his guitar.

I am not enough of a fan to get every album, so this 2-record set is perfect. This is my Gordon Lightfoot reference. This is an easy 5 star album, but the omission of Edmond Fitzgerald is too egregious - I understand there are many things to assembling such a collection, and maybe there were contractual things at work. Nonetheless, it is not complete without Edmond Fitzgerald.

I do want to reiterate that the sound is absolutely amazing.
