Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of Boston Available Now
Sonic Grade: F
The MoFi Anadisc of Boston’s first album has the same problems that seem to have plagued the whole of the Anadisq 200 series. The sound was:
- thick,
- opaque,
- blurry, and
- murky.
A real slogfest. Audiophile trash of the worst kind. If this isn’t the worst version of the album ever made, I cannot imagine what would be.
Many of the worst releases from MoFi in this era were mastered by Ken Lee. If you happen to come across a record in a store with his name in the credits, or his initials in the deadwax, you are best advised to drop it back in the bin and keep moving. Anything else is just asking for trouble.
Do people still pay good money for this kind of awful sound?
Yes they do!
Go to ebay and see the high prices these kinds of records are fetching. This is in equal parts both shocking and disgusting.
Here is what is available for the MoFi pressing on Discogs today (2/2/2022). If you have $400 you can order one there.
