I was so disappointed in the lp box I really wish I hadn’t bothered! 100% Gimmick above content, the CD set would have been far better
Just in case you are new around here or you've been living under a rock.... Supertramp Breakfast In America (SACD) $21.99 https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B01NCNY6ST/ Mobile Fidelity SACD - 2 in stock.
Love this album. I did pick up the SACD at this price previously, but the MOFI vinyl version is my go to copy for sure.
It's funny, but I cannot stand the MOFI vinyl version. It doesn't stand up to an original in any way, in my opinion. I do like the SACD though. Any one else? MOFI v original v SACD.
Yeah...that can be normal when it comes to MOFI and which sound good. People rave about some of The Cars MOFI's...whereas I don't think they are all that special (except I do like their sound on Heartbeat City). I think it just comes down to everybodies personal preference as well as the individuals system. My view changes as well over time. I used to prefer to original Cyndi Lauper True Colors over the MOFI. I now prefer the MOFI. But vice versa in regards to her first album.
I have the Mofi and I think it's pretty good, the drums sound a little flat in places, especially the cymbals but I put that down to the recording. I grabbed the SACD this time so it will be interesting to compare! I no longer have an OG copy..
One from the Amazon Warehouse Used Goods section: The Pretty Things Live At The BBC (4CD) $23.54 https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B00RD2709M/ Look for the Used Goods entry.
Check your disc when it arrives. Mine was factory sealed and the CD inside is incorrect. It's Polish rap of all things. The CD itself has no label just the matrix codes on the inner ring. Haven't had a chance to check those against Discogs database.
Bruce Springsteen Letter To You (CD) https://www.amazon.com.au/Letter-You-BRUCE-SPRINGSTEEN/dp/B08HGB71RT/ $4.75 Pay Me My Money Down
That's the cheapest CD by a big 'name' artist for quite a while - hopefully a sign of things to come!
What about Rumer - Live From Lafayette (double purple vinyl) for $14.44? https://www.amazon.com.au/Live-Lafayette-Purple-Vinyl-2Lp/dp/B099ZRXYFJ/ No. 1 Best Seller in Soul-Jazz & Boogaloo
A bit too mellow for my tastes, about as Boogaloo as a Scott Morrison speech! But you can't argue with the price - a bargain
This is back out at $87 from Amazon UK. George Harrison All Things Must Pass - 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe (4CD/Blu-ray) For what it's worth, I received mine yesterday. I can honestly say I've never been so disappointed in a box set before. It's half the size of the best box sets and the blu-ray just has the tracks from the album with audio options. I couldn't imagine paying $200 for this thing, I felt ripped off paying $87. Just one man's opinion.
Not just your opinion. Pretty much everyone's opinion. But if you gotta have it you may as well get it as cheap as you can.
The Beatles Let It Be (50th Anniversary) (Super Deluxe 4CD/Blu-Ray Box Set) https://www.amazon.com.au/50th-Anniversary-Super-Deluxe-Blu-Ray/dp/B09CRTQ9N5/ $140.89 How super it is is a matter of opinion. Best price I've seen in Australia though. It's a buck cheaper from Amazon UK.
