Dave's Updated MFSL CD Recommendations

As far as I can see the additions are:

UDCD 669 Traffic: Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory

UDCD 674 Steve Winwood: Talking Back to the Night

UDCD 780 Beck: Sea Change

removed:

UDCD 525 The Carpenters: A Song for You *

UDCD 526 Elton John: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road *

UDCD 620 Albert Collins, Robert Cray & Johnny Copeland: Showdown!

 

The Traffic and Winwood were there prior to today and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road * is supposed to be on the list.

If a Gort could add it that would great.

 

Someone should add The Yes Album and Northern Lights Southern Cross.

 

Well, it's Dave's list. He may or may not prefer those discs if he's even heard them yet

 

wonder if Dave recalls that I mentioned the Beck as soon as it came out?! my ears aren't so bad....

Carpenters...on A&M....could it be that a D32Y beat the MFSL? is it a mystery pressing that we'd never guess?

oh, and yes, i do use the list now and again for sure.....

 

Good point. Hopefully Dave will have a listen to these.

 

How about

UDCD 559 Blood, Sweat & Tears : Blood, Sweat & Tears
UDCD 597 Heart : Heart
UDCD 730 Tears For Fears : Songs From The Big Chair ?


I think these three should be included on your list.

 

I've found others I prefer.

 

Certainly, send them on up Lee and I'll report back and return them.

 

When you say "Others", does it include vinyl records?

 

How about "Bookends" by Simon & Garfunkel on MoFi?

I thought it is the best CD version.

 

No I do mean a factory pressed CD for these 3.

 

The same.

So did I until I heard the one I now own.

 

It's a good idea to list those CD pressings (aka "others") that surpass their Mobile Fidelity counterparts.

 

I agree.

 

Great list... I can agree with the most titles... but it's IMO not the Holy Grail, and sometimes a personal preference.

 

Whatever the Japan first-pressing is...


... just kidding, Dave!

 

Must be the 32DP of Bookends?

 

Most of the recent MFSL's should be added:
Sinatra's
Doobie Bros.
Car's
The Band

 

Linda Ronstadt too

 

Hi

Does UD only mean that you only recommend the UD pressing -- or that a UDII was never made of that title?

 

It could be either depending on the title.

 

I suppose it's time to bump this thread since there are likely some new members by now. Let's kick off the New Year with a 100% non-controversial thread!!

 

I don't ever post, but if I may, Beck - Sea Change is superb imo

 

You did a good job so try posting again.
