The WHo - WHo's Next (LP)
One of the best sounding copies of this album that I have ever heard (including several "audiophile" reissues.)
Sorry guys, Half of this post got lost somewhere along the line. I have gotten a number of questions about which pressing this was, so here is the info that I somehow chopped off the end.
I picked up this copy at a local thrift shop for 50 cents, (that's half a dollar, not the rap artist) with full intentions of giving it to my son, who only has a CD copy of this album. Cleaned it on the VPI 16.5 and dropped it onto the TT to test it before I gave it away. Wow this one is a keeper (Sorry Bob - RHIP.) It is and American pressing on Decca records [Matrix - W2X]. When I compared it to a recent 180g pressing I found that the 180 bested it in many categories when each one was listened to in a vacuum (Better bass, better high end, more detail etc.) Yet for some reason, the old Decca pressing just had a more natural relaxed sound when listened to as a whole. The 180g pressing while better at individual things just sounded more "forced" when you put it all together. Sometimes the sum of all the parts comes up to be less than the whole....
