Pink Floyd Dark Side comparison?


Has anyone heard or compared the MFSL version of Darkside (released inthe 80's I think) vs the new re-master by Jamse Guthrie in the EMI "Discovery" or "Experience" editions CDs?

The newer versions are a lot cheaper and may benefit from todays more advanced technology, but MFSL versions have been reference standards for years.

I am looking to pick up one or the other so any input would be appreciated.

I think the guy is asking about CD versions and getting answers in vinyl....:-)

I have the new remaster and the Mofi version on CD but I haven't dome a comparative listen.

Certainly the new CD had a nice balance of detail and smooth sound...indeed it sounded very warm from memory it would appear to be the "best" CD version.
Went ahead and ordered the EMI 2011 versions (CD, NOT VINYL!!!!), as Amazon had them for about $10 each, execpt the Wall.

Also found a source on Amazon that had MSFL Darkside (this is manufactured in Japan) for about $40-50 used. Since its used, there is no penalty to previewing the sound and returning it if I am not happy. A new one for $300-400 is insane and if you open it you eat $250 in depreciation.
MFSL CD is OK, in my opinion, nothing more. But I didn't compare it to newer editions, only to vinyl. That was kind of funny indeed.
have mofi cd, sacd hybrid, 94 remaster, 2011 remaster....the differences are fairly minor...although mofi has the most bass...a bit overipe for me...but some enjoy this....

Do you also have the original 80's version? Curious to know how much different the re-masters are from that version.
