Latest bin find.....Elton John

@tablejockey,

I found my personal holy grail "Madman". I’ve always been disappointed in this lp and as such, rarely played it. I figured that I’d never find a great sounding original maybe ever, or at least without spending a lot of time and money. I knew that if a DCC copy ever came my way, I’d go for it. Well, I did and I got it.

Compared to my two copies, the DCC is in a whole ’nother world! The orchestra is all encompassing with a wide/full/airy soundstage. The drums, when allowed to shine, come bursting out of the speakers. This lp is very dynamic! I can now understand how this music could be a challenge for the engineers to get the mix right. I’m very happy.

slaw-congrats on your recent acquisition. Madman is another impossible title to find in an unmolested condition. Every copy is a victim of being played on the "all in one" system, stacked 5 deep on the changer,tracking @ 5 grams! 

What level did you get? Did you get an ultimate "white hot." I put my so-so Uni copy on the table and checked out the site. Is this a DJM copy?

There is a white hot copy of HC for $700 and a super for $350. MAN! While I have no issue with price, my expectation level on condition(absolutely tick/noise free)
would be off the charts!

My favorite is side 2 of Madman. What a great album.

Please list info on label, any significant etchings on wax, etc.  so I have a reference when im bin diving. I want a killer copy of this fine album.

Two of the later albums worth a listen are Blue Moves and Rock of the Westies. I do agree that some EJ material is throw away.

@tablejockey, You misread, I have the DCC .

"You misread"
Ah..silly me. I default to stamper guy, when I see DCC in a sentence.I get his site as a hit, when I do a search.
