Blood On The Tracks MoFi UD1S

Got mine today and can confirm that this is the best sounding version of this recording I've ever heard.  
Anyone else get theirs?

Blood was the first real Dylan album that I fell in love with, and became my favorite of his for years, but as time has passed and I've heard most of his work I can say it's no longer my favorite, and is even sometimes a bit annoying.  That said, I recognize it as an all time classic and I'm happy that MoFi released this in the UD1S series.

The first for me was John Wesley Harding, but I’m old ;-). Then I liked Nashville Skyline, found Self Portrait fascinating, funny, a real hoot (it was brutally panned by critics, who later realized they just didn’t get it at the time), loved New Morning and then Planet Waves.

Blood On The Tracks didn’t speak to me (Dylan himself has said he himself doesn’t understand why people would want to listen to his pain---the separation and divorce from Sarah is the source material of the album's songs), but by then I had gone back and absorbed Blonde On Blonde and the two before that incredible masterpiece.

My favorites are John Wesley Harding, Blonde On Blonde , and The Basement Tapes. Best Of Bob- Vol 2 is killer.

Analogvm, you forgot Desire. All MoFi discs use to be on JVC Super Vinyl. The "regular" discs were 150 gr I believe.  The UHQ discs were either 180 or 200 gr also JVC Super Vinyl. It is nice to see a new "Super Vinyl" but all the regular MoFi discs are plain old regular vinyl and I have not been super impressed with their quality. I have not gotten one of the new discs yet but am leaning heavily towards the Thelonius Monk disc just to see what it is all about. $125 is steep. I would like to see them going back to using Super Vinyl on all the regular discs as well. Just like the old days.

The first Bob Dylan album I bought was Bringing it all back home, I could'nt believe how good it was and with It's alright Ma, I'm only Bleeding..that just blew me away.
The original vinyl pressings were probably more raw, but the 45 rpm 2 LP pressings are more enjoyable.
Also Subterranean Homesick Blues...unbelieveable. Truly the first Rap track ever....So along with Blonde on Blonde these are my favourite Dylan LP'S....Here in the UK the 2LP sets costs around £60 apart from B.O.B that can go for about £80/120.
