Did I mention the copy I just got of
Beethoven's 9th was masterd by Harry Fisher in 1972? I paid 3
bucks...

This is probably the same recording re-released on Mobile Fidelity. I
got one of those for $3...

I rarely feel like hearing the glorious 9th by Ludwig Van.

Any time, in general, you can get a Mobile Fidelity LP for $ 3.00, you've
got
yourself a bargain. While performances and sound quality vary, as a
group,
I
think Mobile Fidelity LPs are certainly above the average (along with
shaded
dogs, bluebacks, and living presences, of course - and also, some of the
Command classical LPs aren't too shabby either).

I have a few bargains in the collection: Al Stewart "Year of the Cat,"
"Parallel Lines" Blondie, etc. I had one of those stupid thrift shop
experiences a few weeks ago when I found the MoFi "Aja" at a Goodwill.
Well, the lp cover.

Good deal. My best MoFi buy was a few years ago at a record dealers'
get-together. One of them had a NM copy of the Grateful Dead's American
Beauty
MoFi in a terribly beat up jacket at a bargain price because of the cover.
Since I don't play the covers , I gobbled it up. Beautiful sounding album
-
especially a cut called 'Ripple".

It would be interesting to compare it to an original. I have one and it sounds
pretty fantastic.
