What's everyone's favorite MoFi LP reissues-both past and present count!
Off the top of my head, I think that MFSL's two Jean-Michel Jarre releases (Oxygene and Equinoxe) would be my faves.
I saw him perform live in a Houston downtown outdoor park concert about 20 years ago. They used lasers to project images on the buildings and his light organ shot beams of light into the air. It was fantastic.
This may date me but my MFSL UHQR "I Robot" is incredible. The clarity and detail of the music and it is dead quiet.
Sadly I only have one.....John Lennon: Plastic Ono Band.

You know the sound may not be the greatest but the music of Lennon transcends everything else. I love all three Lennon MFSLs for their music!
One can only wonder what might have been if DCC stuck around and Steve Hoffman had remastered the Beatles catalog

I think a more interesting question/poll (which has been asked before of course) is which MoFi releases were crap! And not only crap, but worse than the original commercial realeases.What's everyone's favorite MoFi LP reissues-both past and present count!

I know that Tom Port of Better Records is not generally a big fan of the Mobile Fidelity and any of the 1/2 speed masters, reissues on Heavy Vinyl, etc. He is the gentleman that coined the term Hot Stampers and sells these expensive records through his store. I have about 20 of these some less expensive, some more expensive. They tend to be on regular vinyl and many are the original pressings. I will say though expensive they do generally tend to be extraordinary pressings and their audio performance is something else. These may be something consider for anyone that has a favorite or several favorite albums and groups

I wouldn't buy anything from that guy if he was the last person on earth with LPs.
Hi Myles,
I am sorry you feel that way, but though his records may be expensive, they and he does deliver the goods. Tom is very opinionated and has rubbed some people the wrong way, I know. But, you at least owe it to yourself to have the opportunity to hear one or more of these "Hot Stamper" albums that you know. I know that I have been truly amazed by many of the "Hot Stampers" that I have. I also know that Chris Brady of Teres Audio was impressed when he installed my Teres Certus 450, Teres Illius Tonearm, and Soundsmith Strain Gauge Cartridge. In fact, after hearing my copy of Peter Gabriel's Security he purchased a "normal" copy to use for demo purposes. I also know that when Jonathan Weiss of Oswald's Mill Audio was also extremely impressed with some of these when I listened to his equipment at the Oswlad's Mill as well as when I demoed Jonathan's OMA Mini Horns in my own home.
