Muddy Waters Folk Singer LP

One of my favorite records.  I have the Mobile Fidelity LP.  Has anyone compared the MoFi version to the Analog Productions 45rpm version?

i have the MoFi 33, which is nice. but........both 45 rpm versions smoke the MoFi. better in every way.

there are two 45 versions and I have both versions, an earlier 2 sided 2 disc, and later 45 version which is 4 single discs.

the 4 disc version is just a little better.....slightly quieter and the bass a little more articulate.

all these versions sound excellent.....but this recording somewhat demands the best sonics.

+1 Indeed a classic.

I don’t have a vinyl version of that but what a great sounding album in any case. This is one of the few where the musicianship is as good or better than the sound. My other favourite is Dave Grusin Homage to Duke. Sadly many of the best audiophile test stuff is so artistically lacking - but not this one.

Another gem which very few know about is the House of Blues tribute to the Rolling Stones called “Paint It, Blue - Songs Of The Rolling Stones (This Ain't No Tribute)”

Mike put me on to Weekend in LA Live on Broadway by George Benson years ago - a wonderful live recording....

Enjoy....

Sinatra’s Songs for Swinging Lovers is another one of those where Vinyl (recent 180gm reissue) is much better than the digital (at least what I have found)

Enjoy....

Sorry fellas..I have the HDAD silver disc.the 24/192 transfer through a tube amp has EVERYTHING the vinyl has without snap-crackle & pop along for the ride..Master tape hiss is clearly audible without cartridge/surface  noise.
