Hmmm... very difficult one this. At No1 it would have to be Brand X for the sheer precision of their musicianship. No2 it would have to be The Chemical Brothers because; well, because it would.

Not to worry... The Chemicals are always up there IMO...

That's useful to know Alf so thanks. Had I been aware at the time I'd have taken a punt and sent it off to Analogue Seduction.
When you say "they are now playable" does this mean they're as they were before or are they still a bit wobbly. And how does the sound quality stack up?
Thinking back I'd still go for the new heavy weight remaster I have over my 1973 pressing. There's more detail and life in it than the original. Maybe the old one was just "played out"? I'm still astounded by what people are prepared to pay for them though.
