Here are two I remember off the top of my head without scanning my entire CD collection:
Joan Baez: Diamonds and Rust -- still my alltime fave pop album (which for this purpose, is a category that includes everything that isn't classical, although this album is a "classic".) :>) I had a "standard" Redbook CD of this album, but somehow it got scratched and a couple of the tracks were unplayable, so I had the perfect reason to step up to the Mobile Fidelity edition. Besides which, the local CD shop where I bought it was having a clearance sale, so I got it at a relatively reasonable price (still expensive for a CD, but not as stratospheric as usual). I also have this album on LP.
Bobby Short: Live at Cafe Carlyle -- a superb album of some of his best performances of "old standards". It includes some songs that were fairly new at the time when it was first released, but that was far enough back in time to make them "old standards" now, such as Sondheim's "Send In The Clowns". (His rendition of that song is the best I've heard by anyone so far, by the way.) I also have this album on LP.
Needless to say, being Mobile Fidelity releases, the sound reporduction on both of the above albums is superlative.

It was out of curiosity if anyone owns a stash like myself. I bought many of their rock CD titles before they went out of business and were subsequently resurrected. More recently, I got their Patricia Barber Nightclub. Yesterday, I picked up PB's Modern Cool and Coltrane's Soul Trane SACDs. Haven't listened to them yet. The CD recordings definitely show their age against most modern CDs and especially SACDs and DVD-As, but for albums that have not been remastered, the MoFi's are still the definitive versions.Last edited by will1066; 25 October 2004, 09:26 Monday.- Bottom

Andrew, do you know what the going rates for them nowadays. I'm just curious.
I regret not getting two Metallica albums offered by DCC Compact Classics. They were like $100 US each and hard to come by last time I checked, which was last year.- Bottom

Holy crap! I'd LOVE to have those U2 albums. Not going to happen at that price, though. Hopefully they'll come out on SACD or DVD-A in the next year, and make the MF recordings obsolete. I hope, I hope...CHRIS
Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.
