New Vinyl or Old Vinyl ?

This is a hobby where being seriously silly is not unheard of. I'll be on the lookout for the UHQR copy.

From the point of view of normal people most of us if not all are idiots. Just don't ask me what normal is. 12 copies for a collector is perfectly fine, otherwise two would probably suffice.
I heard that EMI/Manhattan Japanese Pro was best or second best but I don't have it. Regular Mo-Fi was quite disappointing.
Original German WYWH is okay, nothing special.

forget the audiophool editions including the ridiculous uhqr
early uk ftw.
emi100, even the 30th anniversary before any mofi.

U.K. and German first pressings are amazing. I've heard that the Japan pressing is likewise stellar, but aren't they always?

I am not a fan of remastering, especially if the original artist is not involved.  Yes you hear different things but that is because the original artist didn't want the second guitar brought up, or the harmonizing keyboard, or the etc.etc.etc...  

Get a clean 1st addition and you're home free.

Do I really  need nine copies of Bruebeck's Jazz Impressions of The U.S.A. including a mint promo copy?  Nope, but I have them. It seems as though over the years, they just kept showing up.
