Whats on your turntable tonight?

Slaw
I think part of the problem is they squeezed so much music onto a single side. Hence no dynamics or life, simply because there was not enough groove room to cut it.

It really needed to be a double album

@tomic601 I have 2 copies of the original release and they sound pretty good. But to answer your question, I have no idea. There have been over 5000 pressings. My guess would be the earlier the better.

By the way, Pros and Cons original UK pressing is fan freakin' tastic. I saw it performed in London. Mindblowing. 

Uber,

That sure plays a BIG part on some lps. The most recent example I own is the difference between Neil Young's "Harvest Moon". I bought the original EU/1 lp copy. Now own the re-mastered dbl/lp copy. The difference is striking.

Someone posted here a few weeks ago about the newly re-mastered on 2 lps...Eric Clapton "Unplugged". Would like to hear it as I thought the original was somewhat of a demo disc.

@tomic601 ,

I own a Track/UK/Quadrophenia and the Universal re-issue from over a decade ago. I think I’ve compared them before, just been too long ago to remember.

Thinking about it now, I seem to remember someone posting a while back, something like, Best pressing of Quadrophenia", I may have compared my copies there, FWIW.
