Happy New Year to everyone,
Well, for Christmas my wife got me two MFSL LP's; they are, Bill Withers greatest hits and Big Brother and the Holding Company Cheap Thrills. I am not a real MFSL fan as some of their recordings I do not find to be any better than the original. But sometimes the difference is startling.
In this case the Big Brother album is just spectacular. It is a live recording which is really apparent in the soundstage quality. It is clear and has a great deal of nice bass punch without being muddy. I usually listen to my music between 80 and 90 db. At this level my listening room felt like I was there. My hat is off to MFSL for this reproduction and real high quality LP on my system.
The Bill Withers LP is well done. I do not have anything to compare against so I cannot tell if the quality is better or not. Ii is a very clear recording and the bass is really nice, again not overblown. The soundstage is nice but not as good as Big Brother. I would rate Big Brother at an 8.5 to 9 out of 10. The Bill Withers 7.5 to 8.0.
Any thoughts from fellow BH's concerning MFSL LP's. Look forward to hearing from anyone. I will say I really like Analogue Production pressings. Really high quality remastering.

I love the MoFi recordings. I believe they are the most reliable of all the audiophile reissuers. I particularly enjoy their 45 rpm reissues. The sonics are amazing, plus you get lots of exercise getting up to change sides.
