Picked this up used for 9.99 today. It's a 5LP set, pressed in 1986, so it's pure analog. Sounds great!
The first digitally recorded album was Ry Coder's bop til you drop in 1979. Be careful if purchasing vinyl after that year. I use this criteria when purchasing used stuff for sure.
My latest: Blink 182 - selftitled 180 gram Linkin Park - Reanimation (repress) Pearl Jam - No Code (repress) Sunny Day Real Estate - How it Feels to be Something On (Sub Pop Loser Edition) Pearl Jam - Third Man

Good information. I figured since it was pre-cd and was only released in vinyl and tape at the time, it would be analog. I'll just pretend it is either way.

Pre ordered Pinkerton and blue album reissue from bull moose. $37 shipped!
Pinkerton was just released a few years ago. How is this MOFI that much better?
The LPs mcgruff10 bought for $37 appear to be the new Geffen pressings. We don't know how good they are going to be or the source. Whereas the Mofi versions, (they came out a few years ago on Mofi) are mastered properly for vinyl from the original tapes. Never heard a bad review of a Mofi reissue, they really know what they are doing.
The recent VinylMePlease pressing of Pinkerton also used the same plates as the Mofi version and is really good by all accounts.

Agreed. I just paid $40 pre-order for the Blue album that is MOFI, and blue. It's obviously much more expensive but if something is sourced from digital then I'm not really interested since everything I have on vinyl, I already owned on cd (with the exception of TMR vault).

no clue bud but i'm pumped to get each of them for less than $19 apiece!
I'm in then. I've dreamed about hearing "My name is Jonas" cranked up!
It's hard to tell. The 2012/13 releases definitely seem to come from MOFI labs and they say they are mastered from teh original tapes. The release this month from MOFI is on colored vinyl. Are these $19 ones MOFI too?

The $19 ones on Amazon are not MOFI. The MOFI versions all say Mobile Fidelity on a banner across the top of the cover. It doesnt mean these will sound bad. You may want to wait to see how these Geffen releases sound before making your purchase decision.
And so you see, I have come to doubt All that I once held as true I stand alone without beliefs The only truth I know is you.

Makes sense. I ordered the MOFI blue edition myself.
