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?

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 ;-) .

I just pulled out my old copy of Blood on the Tracks, inspired by this thread, and man did it sound crummy. Just dull and lifeless and muddy. Could be the LP itself I guess. So bad that I tossed it in the cull bin. 

It makes me wonder - what Dylan LPs sound the best? Putting aside artistic value, how do they rank to audiophiles? 

I’ll say that Shot of Love is a great sounding record in my system. gutsy but clear and you really hear the room. I love playing it. Also Nashville Skyline sounded good last time I heard it but that was a long time and many upgrades ago.
