At $20 a piece for a modern repress. Thats a unheard of bargain.

- Another Green World
Unfortunately these can't be legitamite. Even with careful attention to detail from the outside jacket the inside booklets and mofi inner sleeves.
I would rate these pressings about the same as digital to analogue pressing. They do not come from the original analogue tapes which is a shame because that would be a great listen. One would be better served by listening to the recordings on a CD or DAC player.
Another clue might be that these are not listed on certain reputable online shops that specialize in audiophile quality pressings like Acoustech, Elusive Disc, Insound etc...
The store I bought it from ( a local shop here in Seattle) most likely succumbed to the pressure to make ends meet and saw it as a way to make a quick profit. I can't blame them in this ruthless economy but it still burns me that I have two counterfeit Brian Eno records sitting on my shelf.
I suppose this might satisfy a person who fetishizes records and might not be to concerned with pressings and overall sound quality but I'm done with buying non legit reproductions even with records I so very want. I have wasted enough money on these things through the years.
