    The Clash "London Calling"

    Discussion 
    Some of you asked which pressing we played at our show on November 17th? We played the 2013 Sony Legacy reissue, UPC 887254469919. This one was remastered by The Clash in 2013 from the original master tapes. No specifics as to if it stayed analog or went to digital at some point in the process. By all accounts, the current 40th Anniversary set is from the same master, so it should sound equally good (we hope). We can say that after extensive listening the 2013 Sony sounded every bit as good as an original UK pressing. If you don't have a pristine copy, this is a good one to get.

    Simon & Garfunkel "Bridge Over Troubled Water"

    Discussion 
    We were recently asked which pressing we would be playing for our January 26th 50th Anniversary show. There haven't been any announcements of a 50th reissue, but there are plenty of existing versions to choose from. Over the December holidays, we will be comparing the CBS Half-Speed Master, the MoFi, a 1970 Santa Monica pressing, a Sundazed, and a Sony Legacy. Don't know yet which one will be the best version, but will let everyone know as soon as we do :) Thoughts, suggestions, opinions? Please comment below...

    Rolling Stones - "Let It Bleed" 50th Anniversary Box Set

    Discussion 
    We still haven't decided which version of "Let It Bleed" to play in a few weeks. The new 50th anniversary album is made from the same 1-bit DSD files that the 2002 remasters were made from, though it is a different mastering and mix. Generally, all-analog mastering is our preference when it comes to vinyl, but that is getting harder and harder to come by. This 2 LP/ 2 Hybrid Super Audio CD set was entirely remastered in both stereo and mono by Grammy ®-winning engineer Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering . The collection also comes with a reproduction of the 1969 7” mono single of “Honky Tonk Women”/ ”You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” in a picture sleeve. Also included are three 12” x 12” hand-numbered replica-signed lithographs printed on embossed archival paper, and a full-color 23” x 23” poster with restored art from the original 1969 Decca Records package. An 80 page hardcover book that includes an essay by journalist David Fricke and never-before-seen photos by the band’s tour photographer Ethan Russell is part of the set.
