Want to hear what a truly great sounding mastering and pressing can do for the sound of an LP? Get a copy of the Cat Stevens Tea For The Tillerman album in:

1: An original U.S.A. A & M Records pressing

2: An original UK "pink label" UK Island pressing, or the "Palm Tree/Sunray label" 2nd pressing.

3: An Analogue Productions reissue, either the 1-disc 33-1/3 RPM pressing or the 2-disc 45 RPM one (both mastered by Bernie Grundman).

If after listening to all three or four you still think all originals are better than all reissues, you may want to consider upgrading your hi-fi.

I've done that Cat Stevens comparison.  And that is exactly why I buy a good number of reissues of my favorite albums.   Once in a while they turn out to be a let down.  The vast majority of them, however, are excellent.  I am a good customer of Acoustic Sounds and pay close attention to AP/QRP issues.

Well, personally I much prefer the organic and dynamic sound of Katy Lied to the over processed mainstream sound of later SD recordings. It also has the best songs…Daddy is to kill for :-)

Just ordered Countdown To Ecstasy! December 2nd is the ship date. Hope for a low number(<1000).
