MFSL Gold Little Feat

As someone mentioned above, the MSFL LP version of Waiting for Columbus is tremendous.

I own a few that are great too. Muddy Waters: Folk Singer and Cat Stevens: Teaser and the Firecat come to mind first. That said, Music Direct has come out w/ quite a few since taking over MFSL. Again, I have not heard many good things about the sound quality of the vinyl since they took over production. There is no question that there are many good ones from the original MFSL.

Funny, I was outside the West Seattle Easy Street records this weekend pawing through the boxes of dollar disks, half listing to the music producers on the corner behind me dropping names and picking the breakfast out of their teeth, when I pulled out a very clean copy of the original 1978 Warner Brothers pressing of Waiting for Columbus. Flat, no scratches whatsoever on the disks or the cover - only the previoius owners name scrolled in sharpie above the lushious Tomato's head on the front. Boy, it sounds really, really good. If the MSFL pressing sounds a lot better, then maybe its worth 29 times what I just paid for the original.

This spurred me to pull out my old CD release of Dixie Chicken for comparison - it still sounds 2-dimensional and compressed in comparison to the original WFC Lp. Same as I recall for the production of most cuts on Salin Shoes and "Little Feat", but maybe I would change my tune if I heard the original Lp versions of those recordings again.

In any case, I appreciate the discussion here as I will very likely not spring for the Gold CD versions of the earlier LF recodings, and will focus on trying to find them in vinyl instead.

The little feat box set sounds good.
