Help me sort this out.. (CCR Cosmo's Factory LP issue/pressing)

Hi everyone

I just came upon this LP of Cosmo's Factory at a local auctions site.. I already have this one, but mine doesn't have the yellow 'ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDING' band.

What is this exactly? Could it be *gasp* something our gracious host worked on?


Thanks

 

Nope

It's from Mobile Fidelity, also known as MFSL or Mofi.

I have no idea what this sounds like. Mofi could and can be a mixed bag.

Someone here will have all the details I'm sure.

 

MFSL 1-037 was put out in the early 80's. All I can tell you about this record is that it is rather hissy and was more than likely made from a tape that was down several generations. Perhaps are host can tell us which tape was used as it will probably have Mo - Fi's initials on the tape boxes regards Todd

 

Whoa.. first time I've ever heard of a MoFi round here.

So, Steve or someone else.. I like the album already. I do have the original local Fantasy pressing (the word 'thuddy' immediately comes to mind).. is the MoFi even worth its weight in plastic and cardboard ?

Cheers

 

Oook .. I'll keep my cash in my pocket then.

Thanks everyone!
