The Classic kills that muddy MOFI, which I must confess I used to like.
Things have changed, that’s for sure.
The Mobile Fidelity is thick and fat sounding, like most of their awful Anadisq releases, with much less transparency than this Classic Records pressing.

An Audiophile Hall of Shame pressing and another MoFi LP reviewed and found wanting.
The MoFi is thick, fat and murky, with much less transparency than the Classic release (which is no award winner either).
The typical album MoFi remastered on Anadisq suffered from many or most of the long list of shortcomings you see below. If you want to avoid records with these faults, you would be well advised to avoid any of the records we’ve linked to.
Is this the worst sounding pressing of Folk Singer ever made?
That’s hard to say. But it is the worst sounding version of the album we’ve ever played, and that should be fair warning for any audiophile contemplating spending money on this kind of trash.
