stefifofum Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Just rushed home from work to put this on. On side three, and this is easily the best sounding record in my admittedly small collection. If all MoFi is of this quality, pressing-wise, consider me a fan for life. I got 2703, so if there's any rhyme or reason to the order these were shipped in... I'm glad I ordered when I did.

GHOSTDRONES Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I have 3016; so unless numbers were skipped there are over 3000. More than likely there is an overrun that pushed it over 3000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 So this pressing was a run of 3000. did music direct tell you that? my impression was that numbers were closer to 5,000 but i that was just a hunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The daughter of the guy who works for MoFi and cut this said he said they did 3k. She posts at TBY.org. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHOSTDRONES Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 3000 or so could be legitimate. Most vinyl orders include an overrun cost up to 10 % or so; this line of thought would allow for as many as 3300 for run of 3000, which puts in the numbers of what people have been reporting.

jonnystorm777 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I am very impressed with this pressing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valve Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Mofi will do a second re-pressing run if the demand warrants it and they still have the license to do so. They did it for 2 Bob Dylan titles that were sold out everywhere, then a few weeks later a repress came along (Blood on the Tracks and Freewheelin Bob Dylan).

timsimmons Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Also, they used the original tapes for LiH where they could. I'm guessing the bonus tracks they didn't have the original tapes. That's why it ended up on silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
