The Analog Productions’ 2011 double 45rpm is also a remarkable pressing and much cheaper. I know you don’t get the booklet and the box, but those I’d rather do without anyway. The instruments on the AP is more “forward” and slightly more pronounced, but in no way imbalanced. I think it’s simply a matter of personal preference, they are both excellent cuts of this record. On the AP cut Astrud is on the left channel while on the Impex 1Step she’s on the right. Also, they spelled Ms. Gilberto’s name wrong as “Astrid” at places in the liner notes.

Im sure it is. I have not been disaponted with any AP product I have purchased. Thanks

@@MikesVinylExperience I have both copies. The definition, bass articulation and overall clarity of the 1 step is a noticeable improvement over the AP. I don't see myself ever pulling out AP copy again and will probably sell it.

I see the new Rhino version of The Cars Candy-O sitting there in your box on the floor. So how long ago did you get it? I placed my order the morning of the first day it was available to order on the Rhino web-site but Rhino still can't (or won't) get it boxed up and out the door to me. I'm worried that it'll will never get out to me. Rhino sucks.

Well they are slow for sure. I purchased the cars and the Greatful Dead album on the same day and got the cars fairly quick but have not got the greatful dead album yet. They really don't package them to well either.

Just got an e-mail from Rhino saying they have embarked on warehouse inventory and no order fulfillment and shipping this week. It will be at least a month since I placed my order before there's any chance of seeing it arrive at my doorstep.

Wow that's terrible. When I purchased. the Doobie Brothers album back in December, I purchased the album with the signed book by the group on the very day they sent the email saying it was available .didn't hear anything from them. for a week or so and when they finally said it. was shipped it was just the album not the signed book. They did later credit my account for difference between just the album and the album and book that I ordered. No explanation or anything. Sad. @@michaellord9745

One question I wonder about after watching audiophiles like yourself spending money on expensive recordings that you already own to try to get the perfect sound is what do you do with the other copies you have? Do they all just take up shelf space?? Do you sell them?? Seems ridiculous to own all the copies of the same album??
@MikesVinylExperience9 ай бұрын
Great question. Most I have held on to, some I have sold to local record stores. I think the key at least for me is, It must be a great album that I really enjoy the music to take a chance on the audiophile release purchase with hopes of it sounding better than what I have. In this case with this album, I didn’t have a vinyl version of it just a DSD download. With my past experience with impex and their one step albums, I was pretty sure this was going to be the definitive version of this album. This is a great question and you’re right, there is no sense in having multiple copies of the same album. Thank you.
