Is my CSNY De Ja Vu a bad pressing, or lost cause?
Check that cat #, it's actually SD-7200. I appreciate the comments. Will keep an eye out for the GP or the harder to find Feldman. The MFSL's seem to go for for more than I want to spend. But who know's, let's see what I have with this other one. FWIW the one I played the other night was a later press, SD 19118: ST-A-701829-L ST-A-701830-Li |

For that album you need to see 1841 Broadway New York NY printed on the very bottom of the label in a circle for the original pressings.I have several pressing of Deja vu.That is the first pressing which sounds the best from the originals.I always buy them if I see one in excellent condition at yard sales. |
Thanks- The earlier SD-7200 does indeed sound better. Less muffled and congested. Better than I expected, after what I heard from the first one. And this was after listening to Love over Gold, and Paul Simon s/t. Both standard pressings, and very good recordings. My memory tells me this De Ja Vu is sonically on par from what I hear from the CSN debut album. Not a great recording, but certainly good enough to enjoy the music. I'm gonna break CSN out to confirm those thoughts. I believe my standard pressing is an early one, and I also have the Classic records. playpen- Indeed this better De Ja Vu does have 1841 Broadway, while my inferior copy did not. johnnyb53- I had seen that but thanks for the heads up. Very good source for things like this. Cheers -Don |
