Head / Mind Blown - Superb Sonic Experience

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, March 23, 2025 by alternating.bit While I'll admit I only own a couple of other Original Master Recording records, I've never been so impressed by both the sound quality and packaging of a record like this, and I own over a thousand records. What's also interesting is I originally owned this album back in the '80s on cassette, then CD later and I was accustomed to the somewhat limited headroom on the album recording whenever those super punching drum hits kick in during tracks like "Dirty White Boy" and "Head Games." Yet this vinyl recording manages to lift the headroom to allow for those drums to not sound as compressed or clipped. In some ways I was alarmed by this because of what I was used to, yet ultimately I'm absolutely impressed and thrilled by the mastering for this vinyl release. Ironically I bought this album along with the 2-LP 45 RPM set of Foreigner's first album and this one actually sounds better to me; somehow deeper and with a wider frequency range. Highly recommend.

Great Sounding SACD

5 Stars
Posted Saturday, March 22, 2025 by :DavidL My wife is a huge MB20 / Rob Thomas fan. I have heard this album many more times than I would have wanted. I will say of all the MB20 albums this is my favorite. Previous digital and vinyl copies of this album that I have owned have all sounded compressed, noisy, grungy, ear fatiguing. Then this AP reissue comes along. AP got it right. Great soundstage and clarity. And those guitar chords have that nice GRRR sound. AP & Ryan K Smith brought out the best of this recording. It sounds better than any previous version I have heard. I won't mind playing this one over and over and over for my wife (and maybe a few times for myself).

Pretty Good

4 Stars
Posted Monday, March 17, 2025 by Tracy S I think this is well-crafted commercial rock, and all the songs have been played endlessly on classic rock stations. I haven't owned the CD for years but have to believe this LP is more emotionally engaging. It's not an audiophile pressing but sounds fine. A solid purchase.

Bad Company - Run With The Pack

The album is sonically inconsistent, so be aware.

4 Stars
Posted Monday, March 10, 2025 by Sckott I had to dig out my two other copies: an original cut from Atlantic US (specialty, Variant 1), the 2LP reissue Miles cut from Abbey Road, and this one. I don't have an Island copy. At first, I thought something was technically off on my end, but alas, some cuts on this album aren't as intense (LFR) as others. Silver, Blue & Gold has a low delivery of bottom end, while something like Sweet Little Sister is more. This 2LP, 45rpm has much better clarity than the other two in general.

A sonic marvel

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, March 6, 2025 by Anonymous The best mastering of any title by any artist I have heard in AT LEAST five tears, a sonic revelation, really. After playing this disc, you will forever forget every other version of this album you have heard in the past 55 years. If you have to buy only one SACD this year, make it this one.

Kudos to Mobile Fidelity (finally, at long last, they did a superb job).

Haunting

4 Stars
Posted Sunday, March 2, 2025 by GRB Ruminations on mortality, love, loss. Romany Gilmour gives a great performance. David sort of lays back on his guitar work but does show he's still got chops now and again. On the closing tune Scattered he soars on the guitar. Mastering not stellar as some of the orchestral work is forward and hot, but definitely an album worth owning for a Gilmour fan.

Why different sources?

4 Stars
Posted Monday, February 24, 2025 by Alex First off, this SACD sounds wonderful. Balanced, the drums smack you in the face, bass is tight and present, and the golden pipes of Paul Rodgers are front and center as they should be.

However, a big question is why the SACD release of Straight Shooter was sourced from a copy of the master tape, while the vinyl version was from the original master tape? Most of the Atlantic 75 series have the same source material from the vinyl and SACD. Would be very curious to know the answer to this question.

Sparkles with life

5 Stars
Posted Monday, February 24, 2025 by Alex Another knockout in the Atlantic 75 series from AP! Thank you for giving the SACD treatment to this seminal 80's classic. The drums absolutely crackle with life, massive soundstage and separation.

My new favorite

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, February 16, 2025 by John P Buy this album. It's wonderfully recorded, you get 4 new songs, and they play all their hits. If you don't like it, you're dead inside and you have no soul. It's that good.

Revelatory!

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, February 9, 2025 by Dino This remaster is magnificent. I imagine this is what The Dan originally intended for this album before things got messed up. Almost sounds on a par with The Royal Scam and Aja production-wise. Fantastic job on this one! Definitely worth the wait. Thank you!!

It Did Get Better

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, February 6, 2025 by Brady This is the first Genesis album I had - gifted to me at Christmas 1983 on cassette. Saw them live January 14, 1984. So far in this excellent Atlantic 75th series A Trick of the Tail is my favorite. However, this Genesis album does sound incredible. I have played the four sides through a few times now. Well Second Home by the Sea several :) Amazing. Sounds the best I have ever heard. So happy to have this in our collection.

Superb

5 Stars
Posted Saturday, February 1, 2025 by Bob H While I have been an SD fan since day one I have never had what I considered to be a really great sounding pressing of Katy Lied, until today. The detail, soundstage, separation are to my ear superb. I am hearing detail that I never knew was there before.

Thank you to everyone involved with this amazing sounding pressing.

A Collector Copy?

5 Stars
Posted Saturday, January 25, 2025 by Anonymous I know "Off the wall" like the palm of my hand. I still have my original copy from 1979, and I still listen to it regularly. In addition to it, I also have a an additional 1st issue, a Half Speed Mastered copy that it is supposed to be the audiophile one ( I do not care for half speed albums because they lack of low end range (Bernie Grundman's words), a 180 gram copy from Music on Vinyl, which is a decent digital issue and a CD copy.

So, I can compared the Mofi reissue with all of them. As we all know, "Off the wall" was produced by Mr. Quincy, engineered by Bruce Swedien using Acusonic Recording process and mastered by Bernie Grundman. Can you have a better team to improve it? If you like this album, you only need an original, mint copy. It is superb.

"Off the Wall" is an album that makes sense for a Mofi issue because, it is an analog production (there are not drum machines, programmed synthesizers, etc). All you hear is done by real people. So, I am glad that Mofi decided to

Posted Sunday, January 19, 2025 by Blue Boz's solo debut, and boy, did he get everything right with this one - one of the top records from one of my favorite white soul boys, and here it is in all of it's glory on a fantastic 45 rpm rendition - worth the extra flips, believe me.

These Recordings Highlight the Petty Genius

5 Stars
Posted Saturday, January 18, 2025 by KrKing Even this small sampling of OutTakes from the Wildflowers project highlights the dedication and effort that Petty extended to all of his (and The HeartBreakers) song writing and recordings Rarely a one-take effort to anything they produced in studio or on the stage. Each song is a reflection of Petty's life. As one who was "late to the game" as a Petty fan, It's my opinion that the deep/deepest tracks which tell the best stories. I have the entire Petty collection, and when I am trying to depressurize from the day, this release is often my "Go To" solution to putting life back in perspective !

Music = 5 stars; Pressing = 2 stars

4 Stars
Posted Monday, January 13, 2025 by Geoff I had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately, this pressing is dull and lifeless. Very flat, almost muddy. Mids are lifeless and the HF is boomy. Definitely needs subtractive EQ on the lows. The highs are also understated and get lost in a sea of low mids.

The digital version isn't so bad, but whatever they used as source material (digital master w/ limiting?) doesn't translate to vinyl.

This is Maverick/Rhino, however. Perhaps they can hand this to Rhino High Fidelity and do a proper vinyl release? There may yet be hope!

I hope as vinyl grows in popularity we can get more purpose-built vinyl releases. Remastered and put through the paces, analog masters or non- limiting digital masters? Something to pay respect to the recording process.
