and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO

The Dylan Original Mono Recordings box is a must have IMO. It’s consistent and well recorded. There’s a consistent theme running through every lp and that is how natural the music is forthcoming. Great mid-bass/ bass. It is the essence of analog.

The MFSL/45rpm/mono version builds on that great foundation. It doesn’t over-hype anything. There is just an increase in dynamic range and resolution. I could easily live with either version. I’ll gladly live with both. BTW, first time ever hearing a mono lp @ 45rpm. Wonderful!
Another survivor....Steppenwolf "Early Steppenwolf" / side 2 is "The Pusher". 

I’ve been pleased at how well recorded all of my OP pressings of Steppenwolf sound.
Well so much for a long overdue vacation!

Listening on a pair of just about mint Altec Model 19s that I picked up yesterday for my Father's upcoming 80th birthday in Sept. We had a pair these in our house from ~'76 to '83 when I was growing up and I am wondering if I just bought back our original pair?? They are awesome. 
@slaw I have had the mono 45rpm of Dylan's Freewheeling for a while now and it is excellent. If you have it I highly recommend listening to Bob Dylan's Dream at 33rpm speed. I did it one day by mistake and enjoyed it so much I listened to it 3 or 4 more times that way.
