I just walked outside and there is my Traffic box set "The Studio Albums . 1967 -1974 1/2 speed re-mastered from the original tapes @ Abbey Road. I pre-ordered it through Amazon uk. (much better price).
The Traffic box is actually a (slip-case) style. I like that much better. I think you all can read into my excitement for this set.
After playing side 1 of Traffic "S/T", I’m impressed. Having said that my only other copy is the Simply Vinyl that I haven’t heard in years. I never tried to search out OP Traffic lps because, as you all know, they are expensive. That’s the reason this box appealed to me, especially when I’ve had other/many positive experiences with Abbey Road 1/2 speed re-masters. It was a no-brainer for me. This one, so far sounds present an pretty natural without being hyped up or exaggerated. We’ll see......

The fact that, with this lp...the vinyl was perfectly flat, quiet and it just has that quality feel, really helps.
