    How many copies of this did Mofi press, Anyone know?

      Not sure why people are so excited by this pressing tbh. Usually I can hear a big improvement with Mofi pressings but having owned O.P U.K., the box set remaster and a Japanese, this doesn’t sound any better. The Jap press probably has the edge over this, having more air about it but still retaining the punchy bass.

      This was already well recorded to begin with but I would have thought the people at MoFi would have been able to breathe a little magic into it.

        MOFI seems to focus a lot of their pressings in of bass, the combination of Dragon Attack which then leads into Another one Bites the Dust makes what they do just great! No way your getting it cheap nowadays, but if you do get it on your own peer pressure, I hope your as happy as I was when those first spun.

          Worth it for Another One Bites The Dust alone. Sounds huge
