I guess there are several reasons for this:FanFrom'61 wrote: August 9th, 2025, 10:37 am I’ll be getting a selected few but not all. I wonder why they are not doing From Elvis in Memphis, Elvis Country and Promised Land, three great albums, especially the first one.
Indeed the 4 LP TTWII is hard to find. It took me a long time to find a good copy. But I will get this re-release too. Absolutely!JohanD wrote: August 9th, 2025, 12:50 pm Thanks for this news!
The 4lp That's the way it is and Stax has surely my attention!
Which "Viva Las Vegas" LP are you talking about?Bilbobaggins wrote: August 9th, 2025, 1:40 pmIndeed the 4 LP TTWII is hard to find. It took me a long time to find a good copy. But I will get this re-release too. Absolutely!JohanD wrote: August 9th, 2025, 12:50 pm Thanks for this news!

It also took me quite some effort to find a copy of the "Viva Las Vegas" LP. That's another rare one. A pity that one isn't on their new release list...

Bought it at the time of release, indeed a fine collection.

Well, that's bad luck. I played my copies a couple of times and they play fine. So far, I never had any problem with a MOV product. I really hope that a cleaning will solve the problem! It can't be solve with a little anti-skating adjustment, can it?FanFrom'61 wrote: August 20th, 2025, 4:16 pm Looking at the Numbers, and I’ve got three albums with a combination of three numbers - 140, 401 and 410.
But just had a listen to all three and there’s a nasty jump on the second track of LP1 on the Stax album and also second to last track on Side 4 of Elvis Sings…. Too late to have a proper look now, but hopefully, putting them on my RCM will solve the problem. I don’t want to have to go through the hassle of returning them to the Netherlands.
Ran both through my RCM although needed to do it twice - the first one removed the skips but still left a noticeable pop, and the second time removed most of the pop. As I record them for my digital library, I can filter out the remaining bit of the click /pop so thankfully, all okay.Bilbobaggins wrote: August 21st, 2025, 1:47 amWell, that's bad luck.

Great information.Bilbobaggins wrote: August 20th, 2025, 8:05 am This is what MOV states:
"We use the best audio available to cut our records. We receive and use different kinds of masters: analogue tapes, original metal parts, lacquers cut from analogue tapes and high-res digital files 192/96khz/24 bit of the original masters. Music On Vinyl does not use CDs as masters.
For every release, the final approval on the audio is always given by the license holder."
I have several MOV releases, also from other artists. I'm (almost) always very pleased with the sound. Dead silent vinyl and good sound. But I am not an audiophile I must add.
Glad you managed to get rid of the imperfections but too bad you had to do it. I'll stick with the exclusives, because I already have most of the MOV releases in earlier pressings.FanFrom'61 wrote: August 21st, 2025, 6:30 amRan both through my RCM although needed to do it twice - the first one removed the skips but still left a noticeable pop, and the second time removed most of the pop.

My only disappointment was the Date With Elvis release with the label looking more like a dark grey as opposed to black and with text/logo that kind of blends in and doesn’t really stand out. Also, I would have preferred the green vinyl version that does not form part of the ‘exclusive set’ - the grey marble is a bit bland and boring, but hey ho.
Now need to think about the next batch - go for the three exclusives or the non exclusives?? lol.
