Muddy Waters Folk Singer LP


One of my favorite records.  I have the Mobile Fidelity LP.  Has anyone compared the MoFi version to the Analog Productions 45rpm version?

+1 Indeed a classic.

I don’t have a vinyl version of that but what a great sounding album in any case. This is one of the few where the musicianship is as good or better than the sound. My other favourite is Dave Grusin Homage to Duke. Sadly many of the best audiophile test stuff is so artistically lacking - but not this one.

Another gem which very few know about is the House of Blues tribute to the Rolling Stones called “Paint It, Blue - Songs Of The Rolling Stones (This Ain't No Tribute)”

Mike put me on to Weekend in LA Live on Broadway by George Benson years ago - a wonderful live recording....

Sinatra’s Songs for Swinging Lovers is another one of those where Vinyl (recent 180gm reissue) is much better than the digital (at least what I have found)

Enjoy....
Sorry fellas..I have the HDAD silver disc.the 24/192 transfer through a tube amp has EVERYTHING the vinyl has without snap-crackle & pop along for the ride..Master tape hiss is clearly audible without cartridge/surface  noise.
Freediver, Indeed!  I have the MoFi pressing and the DSD download.  Both are phenomenal.  The recording is the business, and it is a fantastic one.

generalizations about vinyl noise are no more valid than sterility about digital. both are not inherent in the formats, but signs of less than optimal execution. do you have the vinyl of this recording that actually has snap-crackle & pop?

i have the digital versions too; they are excellent I agree.....but not in the territory of the analog with this particular tape sourced recording. i can love and appreciate the digital, and still acknowledge the analog advantage when it's there.

@mikelavigne
Well said, I hearfully agree. I also value both digital and vinyl, almost equally (with a small lean towards vinyl).

Have you had had the pleasure of comparing the MoFi to the Analogue Productions version?
