Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of The Moody Blues Available Now
UPDATE 2026
This awful sounding MoFi record from 1995 typically sells in used condition for about a hundred dollars.
A hundred bucks! For this piece of trash?
Yes, it’s true, record collectors are paying those prices for some of the murkiest, muddiest analog we have ever heard. A subset of these record collectors consider themselves audiophiles, but we cannot understand how any “lover of sound” could find this sound lovable. (We admit we gave up trying to understand it long ago.)
Take our word for it — you are getting nothing for your money, regardless of how little or how much you pay for it.
If you scroll to the bottom of this post you can find the Discogs stats for this pressing — how many have it, how many want it, what they pay for it on average –as of March, 2026.
We were shocked at the poor quality of MoFi’s Anadisq series right from the get-go. Our original review from the 90s follows:
Pure Anadisc murky mud, like all the Moody Blues records MoFi remastered and ruined in the 90s with their misbegotten foray back into the world of vinyl. By 1999 they were bankrupt and deservedly so.
Their records were completely worthless to those of us who play LPs and want to hear them sound good but, unsurprisingly, a quick search on ebay or Discogs indicates that they’re still worth money to those who collect the kind of audiophile trash this label has been putting out for decades. We don’t understand it.
Folks, seriously, you really have to work at it to find pressings of the Moody Blues albums that sound worse than the ones MoFi did in the 90s. To be honest, we really don’t know of any. We’ve certainly never played one that sounds as bad as this copy does.
Which means that, as far as we’re concerned, their pressing of Every Good Boy Deserves Favour is the worst version of the album ever made.
The rating for this pressing from Discogs is a pretty respectable 4.42 out of 5.
360 Discogs members have it, 204 want it, and the average price paid by these folks for the album is $104.31.
The lowest priced copy for sale is $49.99, the highest $174 and change.
