MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL

Speaking of mistakes, I inadvertently order two copies of the Yes Fragile one-step release.  I received the shipping notification for both at about the same time.  They seem to do nothing but go up in price, so I don't mind.

Mine is on the way!

I have a number of pressings from Better Records.  Of the ones I have, I have multiple copies of them. 

In comparing the duplicates, it's no contest!  Better Records pressings are superior.  For example, I have four copies of Oscar Peterson's, We Get Requests.  The hot stamper from Better Records is far superior than my other three copes.  I could go on and on.  That's the beauty of hunting for great pressing.  Every so often you find one at the used record store.  But sometimes ya just gotta have the best immediately! If ya have a rig that can take advantage of the superior pressing I suggest giving them a try. I'd be embarrassed to share with people what I've spent on individual pressings from Better Records.  No regrets. 

For less than $35/ea you can pick up the BlueNote Tone Poet reissues which sound amazing.  Best deal going in vinyl I believe today.

To MOST people, we are oddballs-  who would sit still, for an entire evening, and listen to music? Serious audiophiles, in case you didn't know, do that kind of stuff. They also spend lots of time. Lots of money. Lots of Jonezing. The lucky ones have arrived THERE and all they have to do is spin some tunes (or, stream). If you're lucky, you friends nearby who are equally possessed.
 So, if a person spends his/her time and money on audio stuff, and happens to love music, it makes sense to seek out the best recordings, que no?
