@hdm I think with the 'One Steps' it is a good idea to be somewhat cognizant of what the original master recording sounds like before placing an order.For example, what you stated about the Gaye release is to be somewhat expected based on what the original sounded like. Same goes for BOTW and to some extent The Nightfly. I am currently of the opinion that MoFi is picking these releases based on what they expect as the overall appeal to the general consumer out there.... NOT necessarily taking into consideration what the original master recording has to offer from a SQ perspective. Consequently, their appeal can be larger ( sales volume wise) than a release that offers incredible sonics at the cost of general appeal.
What does concern me a little is the fact that MoFi is marketing these releases as superior sounding recordings, when in fact they really are NOT that special compared to some other superior sounding, but less widely appealing, recordings. IMHO.
