Concur with Slowhand on Muddy Waters, "Folk Singer." What about Beatles, "Magical Mystery Tour" (MFSL 1-047)? It qualifies for one of the best and the worst MFSLs. Its specially plated and pressed on High Definition Super Vinyl by the Victor Company of Japan. But the stereo imaging--George Martin's hard panning--on side one will make you wonder if one of your speakers cut out in the middle of the song. It is downright annoying on headphones: like getting water stuck in your ear at the swimming pool. But I have never heard Lennon and McCartney's voices sound so detailed (the body, the boom, the presences, the sibilances are all there). Everything goes fine on Side Two until "Penny Lane." The sound stage then becomes extremely narrow and you have a mono image for the rest of the album ("Baby You're A Rich Man" and "All You Need is Love"). Message: you can't have it all.
