We love you Ukraine
I'm an absolute nerd with vinyl.
This is mainly for @Scott as I know he is looking at entering the world of vinyl
Mobile Fidelity are known for doing very high quality represses and remasters. They 3 different tiers, their entry level silver label which are $25, then the 45rpm range which are anywhere between $50 and $75. and then, at the top of them all are what they label as the UD1S pressings, this stands for Ultra Disc One Step and is an entirely different approach to pressing vinyl.
All their releases are done in low quantities anyway, but the UD1S are always limited to 7500 copies worldwide, and you have to preorder as they're always sold out by the time they're released.
Now these UD1S pressings cost an eye watering $125 now, this copy was only their 4th attempt at it and as such was slightly cheaper at $100.
Now set aside price and having to buy direct from the states and so paying like $40 for shipping.... what makes these warrant that price tag????
This is something you have to hear them to even be able to believe that any system, let alone my relatively entry level one, even has the capability of sounding anywhere near this nice. These records (and the Analogue Productions UHQR series) are the pinnacle of what is achievable on vinyl, and when you hear one of these, you completely understand where all the hype over this ancient format comes from.
The last side of this record contains 2 live recordings, and it sounds so hyper realistic, it really does fool your mind into thinking you're there amongst them.

Mobile Fidelity believes that mastering systems should be neutral and transparent. The essential idea is to unveil all the detailed musical information on the original master recording without adding deterioration, coloration or other sonic artifacts. It is worth noting that Mobile Fidelity...
