It seems it was mastered from the same master as the CD, which also suffers from these issues.<BR/><BR/>I did what you recommended and did a "needle drop" copy using my PC and Sound Forge 9. Turns out that while I recorded it at the proper level, the clipping present on the CD is clearly heard on the vinyl release as well.<BR/><BR/>So save your $125 on the 5 vinyl release. I was hoping MoFi would ensure quality, however it seems that just didn't happen. Garbage in, garbage out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
