Marshall_SLX Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Ide say my MFSL DSOTM is up there as is the Jap pressing i have of it, Scorpions Savage Amusement is rather striking too, but the winner is a plain old run of the mill Aussie press of Brothers In Arms. Beats out the current remaster and a WB RL and i am about to compare it to a Japanese pressing i just bought from @candyflip . Kills me that its a digital recording as im a bit of an analogue snob but its just something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JML Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Not my absolute favourite album, but the most finessed, beautifully balanced and detailed sound I get is from the Mobile Fidelity pressing of Brothers in Arms (Dire Straits). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08Boss302 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I have a few i really rate highly but if it was to be honest about the one LP I reach that i use as my 'reference' recording or one that I show off to people it would be Slayer South of Heaven- Def Jam original pressing. Quite certain its not going to list highly on any lists here but from a thrash metal point of view I think the production value and overall instrument/vocal sound captured by Rick Rubin on this release is just spot on. There are a few other albums metal and not metal that I can list but as the OP question was singular SoH it would be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me a listen or two to get into the cleaner style of vocals but for me (and countless others I guess) Reign In Blood and South of Heaven are Slayers high water mark with the latter the better sounding of the two.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually found this first on YouTube, then came across a lot with this exact album in for a few bucks... sadly I missed that auction by walking away from the computer for too long Can attest to it being a fun listen though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, South of Heaven is my favourite Slayer album, and the production is awesome. It's one of the few albums I have on vinyl and CD. What happened to your post count mate? I see it's happened to others as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
