and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1
Kottke / Fahey / Lang ( Takhoma 1040 circa 1974 )

@bdp24 do you have this one ?
DSOTM ( MoFi ) have not owned this since 1986....

there was also an OP in the pile , so I can join the pressing comparison club  !!! Both appear mint...
Impressions on side one:

both grade visually quite well , like NM or NM-, the MoFi is massively quieter. I think the OP is Canada issue Harvest SMAS 11163.. much more surface noise than I can tolerate for long...

loads more detail on the MoFi but it seems oddly compressed vs the “ OP “ which is cut hotter with a smile EQ...

Funny but back in the day I would have used the MoFi w the big ADS and the OP to wake up the Kef reference series...

per Reubent, the OP is headed to the cull pile...
