dvdchance 08-03-2008, 09:10 AM I have 1 that I got as a young teen years ago:
Styx Paradise Theater
I don't know why I would get such a high quality pressing to play on my low-fi equipment back then. I have a few CBS Half-speed mastered LP's too.
Probably a tax refund or something.
I'm gonna pull it out and give it a spin see how it sounds after years of bad treatment:(
Quint 08-03-2008, 11:51 AM Too many to remember. I've been collecting them for a while now.

Victor 08-03-2008, 12:20 PM I have 275 MFSL CDs. :banana:
I bought most of them when they were new so I only had to pay the ridiculously high prices on a few of them lately. I would love to have a complete collection but I don't see that ever happening. :sigh:
For the most part the sound quality is great on the MFSL CDs. A few of them are a bit bright though. Here are some of my favorites:
Cannonball Adderly-Somethin' Else
Joan Baez-Diamonds And Rust
R.L. Burnside-First Recordings
Joe Cocker-Sheffield Steel
John Coletrane-Blue Train
Duke Ellington-Blues In Orbit
Marianne Faithfull-Broken English
Getz/Gilberto (my favorite CD for when I want to relax)
Hall and Oats-Past Times Behind

Billie Holliday-Body And Soul
John Lee Hooker-The Healer
Howlin' Wolf-The Real Folk Blues
Joe Jackson-Night And Day
Jean Michel Jarre-Oxygen
John Klemmer-Touch
Earl Klough-Finger Paintings
Aimee Mann-Lost In Space
The Moody Blues-all of them
Harry Nilsson-Nillson Schmilsson
Roy Orbison-Lonely And Blue
Alan Parsons Project-Tales of Mystery and Imagination
Pink Floyd-all of them
Sonny Rollins-Way Out West (this was MFSLs first CD)
Frank Sinatra-Songs For Swingin' Lovers
Steely Dan-Aja
Cat Stevens-Tea For The Tillerman

Woodstock (this was the first audiophile CD I bought)
I have most of my collection on my music server. I keep thinking I should sell the CDs for the huge money they will bring on that auction site but I don't know if I could stand to part with them.

Mc_Man 09-16-2008, 12:23 PM Only one cd here;
Rush - Moving Pictures
Several LP's;
Pink Floyd - DSOTM
Eric Clapton- Slow Hand
Beatles - Abbey Road
Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
Bob Seager - Night Moves
Stevie Nicks - Bella Donna
Zubin Mehta - Star Wars / Close Encounters
Also have several CBS half speed masters and Nautilus LP's as well. Always on the look out for any of the audiophile pressings.
I've got a handful (5-6) of their CDs and 30 or 40 of the LPs. Also grabbed the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Frank Sinatra LP box sets some years ago before they became crazy expensive.
Victor 09-16-2008, 05:56 PM Rolling Stones and Frank Sinatra LP box sets some years ago before they became crazy expensive.
I was not much of a Sinatra fan but I did enjoy some of his music. Then I got the Sinatra MFSL box and LOVED it. Sinatra during the Capitol years was fantastic.
Completely agree. Fantastic voice and superb backing arrangements. It's hard to beat.

I've been in audio bliss for the past couple of days.
The Earth Wind & Fire MFSL disc is just :drool: in sound quality
snowdownunder 09-11-2009, 04:13 AM I don't have any on CD.
I do have 3 of

Steve
Big Tuna 09-11-2009, 09:42 AM I have 2 MFSL Original master Recording CD's:

"unofficially" I have lots of the old CDs and quite a few needledrops of the LPs. I would love to actually own the originals but I won't pay over $30 for any CD.
Mystic 09-11-2009, 10:56 AM The Who - Tommy (probably the MFSL CD that I have listened to the most)
As it should be.
Where's your Who's Next? :D
MJSNet 09-11-2009, 11:18 AM I have about a dozen or so. Would always like more, but keep telling myself I have to draw the line somewhere (so I don't seek any more out. But if they find me... :D)
Including some of the favorites others have listed, Pat Benatar's "In the Heat of the Night" has had plenty of play time here since it first came out:

Victor 09-11-2009, 05:45 PM As it should be.
Where's your Who's Next? :D
I do have the MFSL Who's Next CD but I actually like the MCA Gold CD version better on this title. The MFSL CD does have some nice bonus tracks but the MCA Gold sounds better to me.
Also to update this old thread: Last year I posted that I had 275 MFSL titles, I now have 312. :banana:
Mystic 09-11-2009, 06:08 PM ...I actually like the MCA Gold CD version better on this title... the MCA Gold sounds better to me.
You might have the Hoffman-mastered version: "Made In Japan"?
The MFSL CD does have some nice bonus tracks
It has damned nice bonus tracks. :yes:
Also to update this old thread: I now have 312.
You've bowled a perfect game and then some, Vic. :thmbsp:
Victor 09-11-2009, 08:46 PM You might have the Hoffman-mastered version: "Made In Japan"?
I did look into this and I could not find out if Hoffman mastered the MCA gold CD version of Who's Next.
One of my friends it a huge Hoffman fan. He has the Who's Next that Hoffman mastered. I compared his Hoffman mastered Who's Next to the MCA Gold version, I liked the MCA gold version better. They sounded similar but the MCA gold version had a quieter background. I think the MCA gold CD of Who's Next came out after Hoffman left MCA. My guess is MCA used the earlier Hoffman master and cleaned it up a bit for the gold CD release, since Hoffman was already gone they could not advertise him as the mastering engineer on this release.
