Which MoFi and MoFi UHQR LPs?


I'm curious and would like to hear your opinions, recommendations and experiences...
Which out-of-print Mobile Fidelity and MoFi UHQR vinyl sets are the most desireable and valuable?
Is there a list somewhere that answers these questions, including what someone might expect to pay for the items sealed and unsealed?
I can see eBay ads, but most are "Buy It Now" pricing not auctions, so it's hard to tell if the prices are realistic or not....whatever that means among Audiophools in this economy!!

The Mobile Fidelity thing, like any other records, are fueled by taste and rarity. Usually they are not better than the originals, but sometimes the originals really sucked or are so rare that they essentially don't exist.

A good example of that latter is Close to the Edge by Yes, finding the original British on that is really hard!!

The other problem is the titles. Katy Lied is a good example- a great reissue of a record that was awful, uninspired and overplayed when it came out. Of course, there are those that disagree- like I said its a taste thing. In their later years MoFi did the same thing with other titles- titles they could afford- like reissues of Manhattan Transfer. Why in the heck would anyone spend $30 on a reissue of a record when the original was still available sealed for $2.00 in the cutout bins (IOW as common as an old shoe)? No-one bought the reissue, and MoFi folded (again).

So IMO/IME, don't buy a record simply because it is a MoFi. Only get it if you will play it, if it is clearly better than the original and/or the original is impossible to find.
The best "Katy Lied" I have heard is the 2000 yen Jap pressing. Yes,Tom Port is right on this one. I must have 10 or more copies and lables of this records. It will never be perfect. I do love the music this record.

In the end its great to have a record to sound fantastic. But be it a
Origenal, mfsl, uhqr, or a reissue its the music that counts.
I have a fair sized collection and play them all because I love
the music and if the production and sound are part of the lp I'm
All the happier.

I may be wrong but from what I remembered MoFi did not put out hardly any UHQR DISKS. Yes many pressings were made from Mo Fi,But I think only 8 or 9 disks were made using
UHQR. At one time I had them all including Dark Side Of The Moon Sealed. My best one was Sgt Peppers by The Beatles
This was incredible sounding. I think I had pressing number 121 out of the 3000 limited edition made. The early
UHQR'S were all limited edition in box sets with paper work included verifying its authenticity.
Earl Klugs pressing was great as well. Supertramp okay I guess. I never did hear the Pink Floyd sold it sealed to Chad for $200.00 many years ago . Now going for 1k SEALED i THINK

Ditto on John Klemmer. Also consider Gordon Lightfoot Sundown, it's one of my favorites.
