If you all are like me.....
I never had an OP.
My feeling is, any vinyl pressing is nice

robert53- discogs is a great reference to check the pedigree. Not enough info to check? My suspicion that is a later reissue. There were plenty of those around in the 70's. Is there a bar code on the back? If so, definitely a reissue. Not a bad thing, just gives an idea how far off from a period press it is,hence,how far it is from "the master tape" and the stamper used. |
Surprise! My wife had her original album stored in a closet. She dug it out and I cleaned it. It has some light scratches on it, but not bad so I played it, and we both couldn't believe how good it sounded. It was way better than the SACD. What a pleasant surprise, I didn't even know she had that record. So tablejockey, slaw, and the rest of you guys, Thanks. |
If you're ever curious of its provenance, check the runout info on discogs as mentioned earlier. https://www.discogs.com/Chicago-Transit-Authority-Chicago-Transit-Authority/master/83123 Original presses are not a guarantee for "best" SQ, but always a sure bet to put them on your list of what to check out. |
