Thanks all for watching - of course, the instrument Joni's playing is the =dulcimer=., not an autoharp. I forgot to correct it when uploading the video with a text overlay, apologies. Have been watching a lot of John Sebastian (he shows up on ONE TRICK PONY that I just screened), and clearly that was in my head.
I've been waiting for someone to review before I purchase. Thanks for posting!
That’s interesting, difficult, fun work to do, my favorite kind! So tempting…
It is a trilogy -- "Blue," "For the Roses," "Court and Spark". Don't neglect the second two.
Great video! I can’t wait for Hejiera to get the Mofi treatment!
Nice review. But for those of us that may be new to your channel can you describe your playback system? I heard in this video you own B&W loudspeakers but what about the rest of the analog chain? Thanks in advance.
Very nice review! I may just go for the SACD to save me some $$ but I will ponder the One-Step hmmm.... Cheers!
I have the 2020 pressing, it's good enough. I'm not really a fan of 45 rpms so I'm skipping that one-step.
I have the box set version that’s good enough for me. All I want to hear is Joni and her guitar. I think the 45 RPM stuff is just a gimmick. It’s not for me. Thank you.
I believe the 2021 Joni Mitchell Archives pressing was overseen by Joni herself. I wonder if she had any input in the Mo-Fi One Step?
I was on the fence, and now I’m not. My order is in.
Great, thorough review. Thank you
A great album if you enjoy sitting by yourself and crying while listening to music, highly recommended for sad people. ☺️
I have an original Canadian press... sounds amazing.. less pressed ?
It’s funny that audiophiles always want first pressings for the sound quality but then say how much better reissues sound! Most audiophiles will never be satisfied with 4 or 5 copies of the same album always buying the latest and greatest reissues for hundreds of dollars
I think most collectors want first pressings, most audiophiles want the best sounding ones
It wasn't the vinyl; it is record wear. I know because I have a first release.
The way to overcome the distortions is to get the CD.
My issue with Mofi is the quality control of the physical product. Did you get a box with no seem splits on the sleeves? Very frustrating for such an expensive record.
Yup, perfect, much better than with previous box
Surely the Steve Hoffman & Kevin Grey mastering should have been in this shoot out? I too find the original US Bernie Grundman pressing too rolled off and a little muddy. If you ever see an original Canadian pressing with TG in the runouts, grab it! crazy good.
...that's the Rhino one.
