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?

1graber2, are you kidding? JVC did it 3 and some decades ago. I have several JVC direct to disc albums on Super Vinyl. Which were not undermodulated like the early MoFi discs were and still sound pristine to this day. If MoFi were interested in more than just separating us from our money they would do all their regular discs on Super Vinyl just like they use to and not just their 2 disc buck and a quarter versions. Just think. If they just gave us the 33 1/3rd versions they could cut the expensive vinyl and plating techniques in half.

While I admit I haven't really listened in depth to "BOTT", I agree with bdp24, that it hasn't (grabbed) me.

I don't think there is anything I could say to convince you that this is worth the money.  It really depends on how much you like this album and what you're willing to spend for it.  One thing that might help you justify it is that I believe it will hold its value or increase in value over time.  All of the releases so far in this series have held their value, and none of them have been as major as BOTT IMHO.

Have it, and think it’s absolutely great. That being said, I also revisited the original (bought it new back in the day), and think the sound quality on it is very, very good. Buckets of Rain probably has the most going on, and shows that the best.
I also own the Stevie Ray Vaughan UD1S, amazing.

I hear ya, @viridian. The NY-recorded version of BOTT came out on LP this past Record Store Day, and it really makes you question Dylan's judgment. Who knows what he is listening for.

A similar thing transpired with Lennon's "comeback" album Starting Over. He recorded it first with Cheap Trick as his band, but decided to redo it in a more "Pop" (radio-friendly?) style. He later said he regretted that decision, and wished he had used the more Rock 'n' Roll-style Cheap Trick recordings. So do I, not at all liking the released album. At least Mommy, I mean Yoko, isn't on it ;-) .
