    I'd happily pay $199 for the improved version i don't have to flip every 8 minutes.

    Still makes more sense than buying a used Santana LP from Better Records, marked up to $250 for its "tubey goodness."

    They will and you'll pay 199.99 for it.

    Unless it doesn't sound as good. Right? :)

  9. I'm a big fan of 45 RPM LPs and I'm convinced of their sonic superiority (all other things equal). But $100 plus shipping? I don't think so.

    Might as well, I paid $250.00 for Dose.

  12. Now that I remember, some time ago I suggested the MoFi guys to give AC/DC's "If You Want Blood (You've Got It)" the 45 RPM treatment since I think it truly deserves it. But I'm not interested in "three-dimensional sonic and emotional heights".

    But you are literally and figuratively better off financially.

    One would have thought they were striving for this with their standard releases?

    Ignoring the completely valid complaints about the price, I wouldn't be surprised if the usual burnout classic rock titles that have been done to death on MFSL, Half-Speed Masters, etc get another go-round on this format.

    I guess it's worth noting that the $100 price tag isn't that much larger, factoring in inflation, than the $35 that MoFi was charging for the UHQR pressings back in the day. (A comparable price would be closer to $87).

    So if you're going to price your collector bait at what the market will bear, they're just continuing in the MFSL tradition.

    $10 says you won't see King's X's first four albums! :p

    They were charging $35 for UHQR. I know an old fogy who bought a few back in the day.

    That's what I recalled, too, although looking over Web stuff, it seemed that people were asserting $50. Anyone I fixed my post.

    I'm confident that these pressings will sound wonderful. However, I think I would get better value for my limited money elsewhere.
