The Mancini soundtract was recommended by TAS in the last issue but they did not specify a pressing. It was reissued on pink vinyl last April on record day in a numbered edition. I bought it but was curious if the original dynagrove black dog first pressing was superior. I found a near mint copy. The pink vinyl pressing was inferior to the first pressing. Veiled with a loss of ambience. TAS should live up to their name and audition the pressings when they make a recommendation based on sound quality. The same lack of a pressing recommendation would apply to their suggestion to give "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" a listen. I bought the last reissue. The British pressings were too expensive.
Follow Ups:
I own near mint original pressings, both Mono and Stereo. I realize that "Dynagroove" came under criticism (based primarily on one reviewer's comments as far as I can determine) but it is a fine sounding album. My copies are clean, quiet pressings and the recording is top quality. My stereo copy has "3S/3S" in the deadwax and I'm listening to it right now.
I don't own the pink vinyl reissue nor have I heard it.
Own it, like to listen to it AND look at it. :^)

But never heard the original.
Ditto.

...and it sounds mighty fine to me! I also have an original mono (LPM-2795) that has seen much better days; and you all know by now how I feel about mono! If not, search it out under a little known band called The Beatles ;)!
