$750 and it isn't even the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab version. 75 bucks on ebay for a far superior version. I had the gold disc cd. If you have a kick butt stereo system and love Dark Side, you want this.

Acoustic Sounds. The owner of AS, Chad Kassem, paid BIG bucks to have Floyd's engineer James Guthrie remix it from the original quad tapes. It heard it at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in 2012 is pretty much beyond words.

with my old(1989) NEC pro-logic surround processor in concert mode(uses 2 front speakers firing at the wall behind the stereo) to recreate the out of phrase sound that gets refected in a real performance. In the song where you hear someone running back and forth, it actually sounds like there is someone running back and forth about ten feet behind the stereo. MFSL brought out some fantastic sound on their remastering.

half-speed mastered reissues done by Mobile Fidelity Labs or Nautilus in the 1980s and early 1990s. They are long out of print. Those command BIG bucks in the audiophile world. 35 years ago I paid $80 for the Nautilus pressing of the Allman Bros at the Fillmore double set. On a seriously good system it sounds like they are in the room. BTW, Fred was a colleague of mine when I wrote for Stereophile back in the '00s. He knows what he's talking about.

Now these are serious stereo systems. Seen and heard at the 2015 CES:









Analog rules!!

Wonder how much it's worth?????

why aren't there more of these half speed-mastered discs? And maybe a plastic that didn't exist in the '80s?

mostly classical and jazz reissues but there is more and more classic rock. Check out The Elusive Disc, Music Matters and the granddaddy of them all, Acoustic Sounds. All have big web presences.

ETA - the serious reissue labels use only the finest virgin vinyl and meticulously restored presses. Quality control is amazing. The audiophile records being made today are without question the finest LPs that have ever been made.
