This deep groove mono Prestige pressing has a few very light crackles and a couple of pops, but over all it really sounds great.  There is something about the way the Vibes sound on vinyl....digital just can't do Milt Jackson's playing justice, IMO.

There are a lot of Japanese and Cadet reissues of this title, but minty Argo deep groove pressings like this one are getting hard to come buy.

Jerome,
You are my  vinyl hero :thumb:
I love how deep you take your love of vinyl.
My friend is a record collector and you guys really share the same passion. I have been to record shows and seen him lose his mind over vinyl. :thumb:
I love the passion, it makes it all worth while.

I have the 20th Anniv edition and disc 2 is labeled "The Jams". Is that the same thing as yours?

Not sure how it is labelled, but it contains live performances on the Johnny Cash show, some alternate takes, and some other songs that obviously didn't make the album. A very decent second disk of bonus tracks IMO and worth having, unlike many reissues with bogus bonus tracks that never get listened to a second time.


Damn, different stuff. Now I have another disc to look for.  :roll:

Sorry guys, I missed one:

18) Sam Yahel: The Jazz Side of the Moon (Chesky CD)

The Dark Side of the Moon: 30th Anniversary Edition [Hybrid SACD - DSD]
Pink Floyd | Format: Audio CD


I can't wait to hear from somebody who has heard the new DSOTM releases that came out this week. The 30th Anniv Editions (Both the SACD and the LP) were IMO both far and away the best SQ ever released in their respective formats. It will be tough to top them, but one can hope.  [-o<

Tom - we're waiting to hear from you on the DSOTM release. You need to add to your collection!!! How many copies of DSOTM do you own????

OK Pete, If you really must know the answer is 17.

Full Original recording

Analog

1) Original Capital US release
2) EMI (UK) Stereo
3) EMI (UK) SQ Quad
4) Toshiba Pro Use (Japanese)
5) Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs (Regular release, Not UHQR)
6) EMI 30th Anniversary  180g LP (UK release, pressed in Holland)
7) Pulse – EMI (UK) 4 LP set containing a full end to end live performance of DSTOM

Digital

8 ) Toshiba Pro Use (Japanese)
9) MFSL 24k Gold CD
10) 30th Anniversary SACD Hybrid
11) DVD-A 96/24 rip of the original Quad master tape
12) Pulse - Columbia (US) CD


Other DOSTM related releases

13) Dark Side of the Moon A Cappella – Vocamotion LP
14) Easy Star All-Stars – Dub Side of the Moon (Reggae version of DSOTM) - Easy Star CD
15) Easy Star All-Stars – Dubber Side of the Moon (a second disc of Reggae DSOTM) – Easy Star CD
16) US and Them – The Symphonic Pink Floyd – Point Music CD
17) The Alternate Side of the Moon – “ A collection of outtakes and early rough mixes from the recording sessions to DSOTM, Abbey Road Studios, Summer/Autumn 1972” – Thumbs Up Records

The reason I have been sitting on the sideline so far with regards to the new DSOTM release is the complete lack of information about it. Nowhere in any of the promotional material about it have them mentioned any effort to achieve  better sound nor do they even say if it is a heavy vinyl release. The 30th Anniv LP set the bar for SQ and if this new release in fact pushes that envelope I will be right there to buy one, but if it is simply a plain old compressed sounding record for the ipod crowd I'm not interested. I'm just waiting to see what the deal is since the pre-release info was very sketchy.
