Regarding the Procol Harum album (I am a big fan of Procol Harum and was fortunate to see them in 1971, in a very close seating position), I recently purchased it as a reissue from MOV.  The SQ was so poor that I contacted MOV and inquired about it.  The person who responded told me that it is from a digital file, is a really bad source material, and that another copy would not provide any better SQ.  I contacted Acoustic Sounds and requested an RA for full refund, not an exchange.  They were kind enough to oblige.  I would like to seek out a Classic Records copy, now that I just learned it exists.  By the way, my original copy of Broken Barricades sounds fantastic and is highly recommended, if you can find a NM/M- copy.  My copy of A Salty Dog sounds great but has too much vinyl noise.  I wish that I could find a copy of the MoFi reissue at a reasonable price.  My copy of Home also sounds great but also has too much vinyl noise.  It was never reissued so I will live with what I have.

@mammothguy54  - Hey Joel! I have a copy of the MoFi - "A Salty Dog". The cleaning sticker I put on it shows I bought it in Dec 2018. I'm kinda frugal, so it must not have been too expensive. Hopefully you can find a nice one for a good price. It's a great album.

Well, the MoFi version is now going from between $110 to $165 and mostly from European markets.  I think my copy will server me well.😊

Joel, I'm sure I paid well less than 50% of that price. I only have a handful of records that I cost me more than $50. 

So, today I looked for a copy of Daniel Lanois - "Belladonna" on vinyl. Discogs had only one for sale in the US for $150. Great album, but I'm not paying $150.
