I doubt it - 45rpm LP records are rarely worth the bother.Quote:

Musically I'd say 'On The Border' is their weakest album. Still worth having though.
Hi Robin, Like everything it depends upon what you want from a musical rendition on your system. I believe that to get the best from any record you need a reasonably decent cartridge and phono stage. Yours should be more than up to getting a good performance from a good record.Quote:

This MOFI version I was very lucky to pick up on Amazon for half its normal price, I presume end of stock that they were selling off, from a SQ point of view there is NO background noise at all, separation and detail of instruments is IMO clearer than the original. One comment on Discogs "The high end does sound weird on "Already Gone" but I think it's just the way the recording is combined with their mastering.", I do not agree with this, maybe its the chaps set up, most consider it a superior release, I find it very dynamic and enjoyable, bass is excellent and more defined than my other pressing.
I also have 'Hotel California' and The Long Run' and they are excellent as well. If you are an Eagles fan then they are worth a punt IMO, also they seem to hold their value from a resale point of view.
many thanks Adrian, good to know .I have most of the Eagles albums and would be tempted to purchase the MOFI versions if I see them on offer. I imagine like yourself I like to have the best sounding version of vinyl I own and I would happily pay the same price as they are in the States but by the time they arrive here in the UK some are touching £200.Quote:

I still cannot understand for any reason why people now pay the prices that are being asked for vinyl records; to me, its just pure exploitation by businesses due to the fact that vinyl has become popular again. Maybe i'm living in a dream world but, a few years ago, everyone was chucking them in the bin as worthless, old fashioned junk; now people are paying crazy money for "half speed remasters," "180gram sp edtns" and the like - crazy or what ? It's just a vinyl record, it doesn't mean one should be paying a kings ransom for it!!!!!
Anyway, that's my thoughts on it. I'll buy CD's, remastered CD's etc for a few quid :lol: and I know they'll sound good for years :D!!
A couple of good ones there. :)Quote:

No it's not. I agree the cost of new vinyl is preposterous, however I am also of the opinion that those that disagree have a perfect right to do so.Quote:

At these prices it is nice to try things that I've never heard of before.

Track 1 Bass is really quite something..
Having said that, the whole album is pretty amazing.
"Never Good Enough" drum work is worth a test listen.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0fd85f372e.jpg

I will have paid about 6 quid for this in 1985, which in today's money is about £22. So not much difference there. It's the bargain price of CDs today that makes vinyl look bad. That's not to say that some sellers aren't taking the piss - I was shocked to find last year that HMV were asking £50 for Bowie's "Young Americans". And it ain't even a double :(
I cleaned out the fridge so now need some loud rock and roll music to recover from the trauma:

I haven't heard of that one. IMO David Byrne's output post Talking Heads has been variable, so I would be interested in what you think ofit Steve.Quote:
