best pink floyd dark side cd

Hey take it easy MFSLGOLDCD. I have know idea what it's worth and I don't care. I found it used for $5 and all I know is I like the album and it sounds really good. I didn't even know it was gold until I got it home. That was about 4 years ago and the first time I ever saw a gold CD. So yeah I guess I scored big. Anyhow that's not the point of this thread. The point is it has sounded good on all the gear I have had the last 4 years and I recommend it. It has great imaging with tube like softness but not to soft. The mix and tone is perfect for the type and style of the music on the album.

I would have to say that the MoFi version is the best that I have heard to date. Hopefully one of these days it will be put out on dvd audio! I bought my MoFi copy used for $10, but the best deal I ever got on one is $20 for The Wall with the booklet and box in excellent condition.

I have owned all versions of DSOM since the first CD release. I truly feel the MoFi is the best. I have to tell you that the first CD release is a close second. The 25th ann. remaster is the worst of the bunch, however (IMHO). Ironically, this is the exact opposite to The Wall, where the current re-master is the best (even better than the MoFi - again IMHO) and certainly better than the original release. On a side note, the MoFi's are usually the best versions I have heard (above exception noted) but NOT worth anything near three digits in cost!

According to the folks at Acoustic Sounds, Inc. (3-4 months ago,) there is a Sax remaster of Dark Side due soon. The original date of release was spring of '00, but there is/was/were a few seconds of sound loss on the master tape that they were working to recover. The "word" is that Sax is the only man that Mr. Pink thinks can do the right work. I very much enjoy my MoFi UDCD 517.

Talked to the folks at Acoustic Sounds again last week. Sad to report that the word from them is that the Sax remaster will not be released due to the flaw. What a shame. Charlie.
