Mine is a 1980 atlantic, and honestly know nothing about the different versions or remastered copies. I thought mine was an old copy because Im old and bought it when it came out. I never knew there were so many remastered copys out there.

Look, quite a few but I'm not really into CD's so much, so didn't concentrate the list on them. I'm afraid you'd need to either visit, or do a little research online yourself before the visit. The great thing about doing the search, even in Japanese, is that 'CD' is a universal term so that might make it a little easier. Start with this search : www.google.com.au/search?q=%E9%83%BD%E5%86%85CD%E5%B0%82%E9%96%80%E5%BA%97 and then turn on translate for the English info.

Da bass is da ting mon, who took me bass? =1/2 Speed. Terrible attempt at accent humor aside, it is kind of cool hearing all the details and spread sound of the half-speed but that isn’t what this music should sound like. Plus the half speed is just too edgie at times and pointed with the vocals. Not really pleased completely with either but for me what serves the feel of the music, the groove, I have to go with the McMaster tri-colored. Horrible admition..I have a clock made out of that tri colored vinyl version :0 In the end it would be the UK press for me. Thanks for the video! Fun stuff!

DSOTM, as the saying goes, really has never had a “bad” version. After all it is one of the greatest recorded/produced albums of all time. In all honesty at first I went for 3 and 6, the souped up sound nearly betrayed my “the UK is the holy grail” sensibilities. Then after going back and listening to all the samples several times, I chose number 1. Which is the Kevin Gray and Doug Sax version. They hit some magic there didnt they? The perfect balance of detail/clarity with a bit of tubiness thrown in. I didnt find the japanese pressings to be bad at all, except for the Pro-Use. The latter is a bit of a tubey bloated mess imo. The old MFSL had some more clarity than the Pro-Use but it still has that “audiophile” artificial eq sound to it. Whatever that means. Just does not sound natural. The big elephant in the room is the Harry cut. That is the one I am suppose to choose but did not. After the reveal I do hear what it is that makes the UK good but I am not sure it outshines the 2003. The quad to me is an apples vs oranges thing. Has some interesting and fun things that are cool to hear, but as a musically cohesive, coherent sound for the album, I really had to dismiss it. The mix is just so different than the others. Still a fun listen though. 1)2003 2)one of the japanese, though I cannot recalll which. I think it was the one without the fancy red and black OBI. 3) The Harry Then the rest are not in the running. Thanks! Just discovered your channel. I love these comparison sample challenges!

Thank you so much for this. Very informative. 1,4,6 and 7 sounded the best to me on most tracks but on the first track you used they all sounded pretty ok, except the Australian quadrophonic (of which i also have a copy and am a big fan of), which sounded very odd on some tracks. Not sure why this is the case, as it sounds pretty damn good on my setup. Perhaps being quadrophonic it likes some carts and dislikes others? 2 and 3 sounded pretty damn poor on some tracks, especially Time. I have the A3/B3 2nd UK, one of the US MFSLs, a South African, the same 5th UK as you, an early US, and a German pressing from ‘78. I’d have to say the German pressing i have competes very well indeed with some of the highly rated ones. It’s the one i use the most as it won’t cost a fortune to replace. The SA one is piss-poor in comparison, and the US one is not that great.
