Gregg Allman's "Laid Back", a blast from my past, I remember first recording some of the cuts from WTUL radio in New Orleans.

One of the ways vinyl serves: Allman's voice is drawling, intense, and folded back into the bass guitar, laid back like the title says. The recording is extreme "tape saturated" recording with some fisheye distortion.

The vinyl makes this all part of a desired analogue presence, which one would'nt really find in a digital copy. Not for the analytic, clean sound crowd but for me, on vinyl, played loud, it's swell.

Hi John, I have the original MFSL version of this LP. IMO, it's good but not great. Your newer re-issue is very interesting, have you had a chance to hear this version vs. the MFSL version? If so, please do post your opinion on the two.

I don't have the MOFI, so sorry I can't compare...wish I could though as I love this album.
