Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of Gerry Rafferty Available Now
A hall of shame pressing and another MoFi LP reviewed and found seriously wanting.
The MoFi pressing of this album is a complete disaster — it’s fat, muddy and compressed.
It was mastered by Jack Hunt, a man we know to be responsible for some of the thickest, dullest, deadest MoFi recuts from their shameful catalog.
With mastering credits on this album (058), Michael McDonald (149) and Blondie (050), you have to wonder how this guy kept getting work.
