Allman Brothers/Live at Fillmore East

FWIW, A very nice copy of the pink/Capricorn kind of fell into my lap last week. Mine has AT/GP in the deadwax. I've compared sides one on this original and my Classic. The original if superior in really every way. While the Classic has a slightly wider soundstage, the original has greater dynamics with a more open sound. The Classic is dark by comparison. I lucked up on ebay for $14.50 plus tax + shipping!

Tried to respond yesterday, but my grandson wasn't having any of it. I also compared Side 1 only, started with the CLASSIC, and then the early Pink Label CAPRICORN. The latter had side 1/4 on 1 LP, and the other 2/3. The Classic had the more conventional sides 1/2, 3/4... The dead wax initials on my Std pressing were "PR". I've known that to stand for Presswell on the Atlantic label, but not sure here. I found the Classic to be quite good.... Bass was nice and full, but not as articulate and detailed as I would have liked. Surfaces were quiet.... A nice time capsule, which  with a little imagination, took me back to the Fillmore. Moving to Side 1 of my Standard pressing, it had a presence that was lacking in the Classic, which brought the Fillmore in to my room. So while the Classic put you in the Time Capsule, this one had that out of speaker presence. Bass was more realistic, which made the Classic sound Goosed down. This one had low end detail... A drum thwack sounded more like a real drum thwack. I have no regrets on my Classic, but at this point my standard pressing is my reference. So dare I say, this is pretty much what I expected.

Did you happen to notice how much of the music is coming from the right channel? I really never thought about this before. I just received my new phono preamp which has front panel polarity adjustment. I switched the polarity to neg and the music came out of the center stage

( My feeling is your standard pressing may be not the best, regarding the info in the deadwax?)

Cheers!

Possibly, but my pressing certainly satisfied. As far as the Right channel thing, nothing that was obvious to me, but I will give it another spin soon.
I checked Discogs the other day, and my pressing was the second US
pressing listed. I think MO and GP were the 1st, with the PR (mine) listed as next US! For around $20, I'm not complaining. The choice ones on e-bay
right now are $75-$100... As of 2 days ago anyway. A tad off subject, but
the Gregg: Laid Back on QRP is really good. One of the rare instances where a new remaster,  beat my earlier press.

The QRP of "Laid Back"... yep.. outstanding! I don't think one will ever find a better lp pressing! I have (3) pressings of "Laid Back".. this was one record that deserved more attention. The QRP.. highly recommended!

Not that I need more competition, I got mine (Allman Brothers) off of an auction on ebay through (Carolina Soul). My experience with them is right on the money. They always have a nice selection and their grading has never caused me to complain.
