Was this Miles Davis Steamin LP a rare find?

Thanks- What I meant by not feeling bad about passing was I can still get from Acoustic Sounds. So it's not like I passed on an Out of Print record that I can't get at all.

Oh, OK. My misunderstanding.

However, sometimes it's good to jump on something while you can. In Jan. 2011 I bought two new MoFi Sinatra releases--Sinatra at the Sands and Sinatra's Sinatra. I recently checked for them, and the original vendors were all out. I found used ones for about $540 and a NOS copy for $999.99 on Amazon. If you check the usual suspects--Soundstagedirect, Acoustic Sounds, Music Direct and Elusive Disc--none of them have either of those titles.

However, Acoustic Sounds still has the AP mono reissues of Relaxin', Cookin', and Steamin' in stock.

I wonder what size the production run of thos MoFi Sinatras was.

I could have been clearer. I have enjoyed the handful of mono pressing I have, though can't help but wonder how much better they would be with a mono cartridge. Agreed, the Mono Beatles were very well done. I really enjoy Rubber Soul, but have yet to open my mono Sergeant Pepper LP. I hear you Johnnyb.
If the QRP STEAMIN is good, I may jump on Relaxin.

Well, I think you're in for a treat when you open Sgt. Pepper's. I was only familiar with the Capitol stereo version for many years. Then a few years ago I read Geoff Emerick's book (Here, There, and Everywhere) about his experiences in the control booth with The Beatles. He mentioned how they spent most of a work week doing the mono mixdown of Sgt. Pepper's, and the Beatles were present for that. The stereo mix was a toss-off, done in a few hours and with no Beatle involvement. The stereo version had always sounded thin and brittle to me.

Not so the mono version. It's warm and rich. There are even some content differences. For example, you'll hear a significant difference in the laugh track at the end of "Within You Without You."

Very cool. Will have to give Sgt Pepper and the QRP Miles an Audio Intelligent bath and a spin. Johnnyb53- Which Beach Boys Mono do you have. I assume Surfin USA. Michael F. really liked that one. I prefer their later stuff, and am waiting on Surfs Up. I also have an early press of Sunflower, which I enjoy quite a bit. Even my Pet Sounds remaster from the Late 90's is quite good. I have TODAY on the newer CAP vault remasters, and it's not good at all. So I steer clear of those. Cheers -Don
