Comparing the brand new Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab One-Step Ultradisc release of Crosby Stills & Nash's seminal self-titled debut album with the 2001-2002 Bernie Grundman mastered Classic Records reissue, and the UK original first pressing.

Very beautifully described, excellent job Sir! You make I feel a valid point about the 'Soul' or the sound of an album, which may or may not have to do with the 'clarity' of the pressing. BUT... we all know that the comparison that you are simply *DYING* to do, that you can't wait to do, and are breathlessly anticipating is... Between the MOV Dirt and the recent 2-LP release of course! 😃 I know, I know... I am truly the neighbourhood pest, my deepest and sincerest apologies. Sadly, I think it had something to do with my mother shaking me a tad too much when I was little...

Which of the many different pressings of your original U.S. version of Deja vu do you have? If you think the Classic Records version of C, S &N sounds better than the original U.S. version, you should hear the 4-disc 200g, 45 rpm version from Classic Records. To me, this is the closest to my original Monarch U.S. pressings, as far as brightness goes.
Unfortunately I chose to get the single-disc 200g Classic Records version rather than the 4-disc, 200g, 45 rpm version. I found the single-disc 200g CR version to not be as bright as the original U.S. Monarch pressing.
The problem with my original U.S. pressings is that the vinyl is not as quiet as the CR versions.
