Allman Brothers at Fillmore East, which one?


There are two recent releases available at Music Direct, one by MoFi that must be their Silver edition, meaning original masters were not involved, and one by Mercury in which the original masters were transferred to hi res digital and cut at Apple. Anyone have experience with either of these releases?

I resisted the 180g Mercury reissues until the DMM sticker pulled me in. Eat a Peach. Compared to my well preserved Capricorn beige label, the Mercury sounds cleaner, more organized, warm and inviting. The bad news is that the Mercury is a substandard pressing with surface noise in spots that won’t resolve after long ultrasonic baths and lots of mold shedding into that bath. Based on the high quality of recent MoFi I would go for those.
