Best MFSL pressing

Supertramp-"Crime of the Century", Muddy Waters-"Folk Singer", an Gino Vannelli-"Powerful People". The best MFSL pressings are the ones on JVC pure vinyl with Stan Ricker doing the mastering.

Concur with Slowhand on Muddy Waters, "Folk Singer." What about Beatles, "Magical Mystery Tour" (MFSL 1-047)? It qualifies for one of the best and the worst MFSLs. Its specially plated and pressed on High Definition Super Vinyl by the Victor Company of Japan. But the stereo imaging--George Martin's hard panning--on side one will make you wonder if one of your speakers cut out in the middle of the song. It is downright annoying on headphones: like getting water stuck in your ear at the swimming pool. But I have never heard Lennon and McCartney's voices sound so detailed (the body, the boom, the presences, the sibilances are all there). Everything goes fine on Side Two until "Penny Lane." The sound stage then becomes extremely narrow and you have a mono image for the rest of the album ("Baby You're A Rich Man" and "All You Need is Love"). Message: you can't have it all.

The top 3 great sounding MFSL Rock titles gold CD-Jethro Tull-Thick as a Brick, The Who-Who's Next, and Jefferson Airplane-Crown of Creation. In jazz/vocals Frank Sinatra-Songs for swingin lovers, John Coltrane-Blue Train and Ella Fitzgerald/Louis Armstrong-Ella and Louis again.

I find nothing particularly sensational on gold or aluminum mfsl cds. there are, tho, some best-ever lps .csn&y: deja vu; ricki lee jones: euponymous; the entire beatles collection but especially white album; uhqrs: sgt.. pepper and dsotm.

MFSL Ultradisc gold CDs are incredible recordings. Cornfedboy may have his ignorant opinion, but just check the Ebay auctions for MFSL gold CDs. I guess the +500 different people are deaf according to CORNFEEEEEDBOY! Back to the subject at hand. Allman Brothers Band -Live at the Fillmore East and Thelonious Monk Quartet Live at Monterey 1963 volumes 1 and 2 are impressive jazz recordings. Also, Steely Dan-Aja and Cannonball Aderly-Somethin Else are some of the top recordings of MFSL gold CDs.
