Ciao Michael! You have achieved an amazing 2022 by now! You deserve everything you are getting! About this video, Original pressings are best by far because they have an undisputed charm and are usually better than reissues, even if these ultimate really do have a sense when they are done like Chad does. Tanti saluti! Keep up the great work and Merry Christmas to everybody in the community from Perù! Max.

I was surprised to see you list a Bernard Parmegiani record. I have been picking up some "mint" represses but they all seem to have some surface noise. However, that one you showed, discogs lists as a repress in 1983 it was originally 1979 with a different cover. They certainly are auditory experiences regardless. cheers

Ive recently come into possession of a box set i used to own in 1980 called The Rolling Stones Collection which includes all records in original sleeves from Sticky Fingers to Emotional Rescue. Only brought out in Australia with a black box and big red tongue in the center. These are original tape recording pressings and no remastering. I have several Stones remastered records and the box set i have are the only records I don't switch of Pure Direct. Every remastered record I own from after 1989mI feel I have to switch of direct so i can use my equalizer to try and fix up the mess they made. Im 66. I leave pure direct on for all my original non remastered discs.

I've got 2 early U.S. pressings, a Japanese first pressing, the first reissue, and a Spanish pressing on the way. You can't have too many versions, but I really can't wait to hear my U.K. pressing from Dave!

Dark side a2/b2 is like listening to a live band, agree! My prediction for your 2023 first place: Led Zeppelin II (RL cut) in very good shape. My copy is just Good (doesn't make it to VG), but it's amazing! I have several of the pressings you mention in the video and I think one that should go in your collection is The Band S/T (also RL cut). The reissues by MoFi and Chris Bellman (double 45rpm) are good, but the original has a unique sound.

Does anyone have an opinion on this? I am seeing more music collector videos on the return of CDs and digital and the prediction that vinyl might fall again out of favor due to the increasing cost in a recession and inflation. The argument they present is you can get a good used CD for $1, $2 or $5 while the used vinyl equivalent will run $15 to $20. New CDs run about $10 vs $30-$40 for the record. Some analysis are thinking CDs will return on a much bigger scale in 5 years or so. They suggest get your cheap CDs now before they go up eventually in price with the increase in demand. Thoughts?

Dear Sir, I look forward to your enthusiasm for analog sound reproduction, but unfortunatly pure analog signal processing it no longer exists, all analog sound signals are processed thru AD/DA conversions in mastering processing, now over 99% of all vinyl records has digital, including most AAA releases...please take a look at the page : ANA(DIA)LOG ...Digital Delay: The little dirty secret of vinyl mastering (including AAA records)... I think it is a little silly, to cuting digital signal into plastic, vinyl records...in the 21st century... with a special respect, Marijan Körbler PS - CD sound is much better and much cheaper...
