The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them

@bdp24 You ever give any of those mid-‘70s re-issues of Tapestry a go?

IIRC, mine is the ‘75 US with the grey-on-white labels, not the ‘77 beige labels.

Sounds better than the OG pressings I’d gone through multiple times.

@tylermunns: No, no mid-70's pressings. I wore out my original; In 1971 I was backing a chick singer who did a coupla songs from the album, and played the album a LOT. "Smackwater Jack" was a lot of fun to play. Drummer Russ Kunkel and bassist Leland Sklar were real good at creating a killer groove and feel. That's why they got as much studio work as they did. 

@bdp24 Gotcha.

Did you like the One Step pressing of Tapestry?

I used to read TAS back in the 70s when it was literally a pamphlet format with zero ads. It seemed credible to me at the time. Today? Not so much.

I was just struck by the irony that this is the same forum that's hosting a multi-page thread with so many people defending counterfeit Chinese cables. Lie like hell and sell a cheaper product that costs a legitimate manufacturer lost income, no big deal. Lie like hell to sell a higher priced product that swindles the consumer a bit, cue the outrage. I guess it always depends on whose ox is being gored.
