Manufacturing Error Replacement Program
*******************
Some copies of this record, notably in the serial number range 11,000 and the serial range number 14,500 (there may be others), have a manufacturing aberration in track B1 "Walk Of Life". On this particular lacquer and resultant stampers at one point the extreme bass proved difficult to track on some, but not most, turntables. New stampers were subsequently made. Mobile Fidelity acknowledged the problem and by August 2019 was providing replacement discs only via the original vendors or directly to the original purchaser who bought from Mobile Fidelity or Music Direct. The faulty platters were to be returned to MoFi and destroyed. The limited time for exchanges/returns has a yet-to-be-determined expiration date.
The replacement discs BaOI information for serial number range 11,000 and the serial range number 14,500 (there may be others) is as follows:
A Side Runout: MFSL2-441 A1 22624.1 (3) KW@MoFi
B Side Runout: MFSL2-441 B3 24168.2 (3) KW@MoFi

Amazing pressing. I am unsure if I have the replaced disc or not (unlikely but how would I know, bought used on Discogs). If you wanted to wow people with your system, then play them "Why Worry" and go from there. The tiniest bit of S/N but only if you have a great system and have it loud... -
I took the time to listen critically to this pressing and I actually used a score-sheet to give a score on different aspects of the sound quality.
After listening to most of the songs I can say that it scored a whopping 10.5 on a scale of 10 (by earning extra points on most aspects).
These are the categories I scored the record in:
Silence (of the vinyl), Dynamics, Bass, Treble, Soundstage, Experience, Details/Nuances, Vividness/Tactility
All points score a 10 or higher for me. Everything I would want is there and more. It is my highest scoring record so far.
Sound: 10,5/10
Music: 9.8/10
Sleeve: 9/10 -
Comparing this with the Abbey Road half speed... I actually prefer the Abbey Road pressing. I never would have thought it, but there you go. -
-
Killer pressing, super dynamic sound feel like I'm there sitting front row at a Dire Straits show. Walk of Life never sounded so good. Great album, great pressing!
-
Picked up a copy recently, sounds incredible. This pressing is dynamic, big, and satisfying. 5 stars! -
I just received a copy of this today. And I have to say that it sounds amazing!
I have #029927 and it does not have the replacement disk according to the runout…B2.
There’s no skips on W.O.L., or any problems whatsoever on either records.
Both records are flat, and no noise in between songs.

If there’s a flawless record, it’s this one. #009760. Makes this silly obsession (vinyl) completely worth it. -
Это лучшее звучание этого альбома. Абсолютная чернота в паузах и тихих местах. Звук неимоверно детальный но при этом теплый. Сравнивал с первыми изданиями Великобритании и США на виниле и изданиями на SACD и SBM. Рекомендую к покупке не только любителям группы но и всем меломанам, пока не раскупили
