I’m through with being mad. It’s not like I don’t have other available copies of this title that I can listen to. So far, I just like their take on these Van Halen titles. The first two are stellar.

Melinda Murphy has an interesting review on her YouTube vinyl channel. Her channel is highly recommended if you like baby boomer era vinyl reissues.

Just noticed a pre-order for Santana, Moonflower vinyl from Mobile Fidelity. They are only printing 3000 copies, and yeah. It's expensive, but you might be one that wants this. I'm sure debating it myself.

Santana Bridges the Divide Between Live and Studio Material on Moonflower: 1977 Double Album Features Extraordinary Performances, Soulful Vibes, and Dynamic Mix of Latin, Rock, Funk, and Blues


Sourced from the Original Master Tapes, Pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and Strictly Limited to 3,000 Numbered Copies: Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM 2LP Set Plays with Audiophile-Quality Detail and Imaging


Though it may now seem strange, Moonflower stood for nearly 15 years as Santana's first and only live record released in the United States. This despite the fact that roughly half of the double album consists of new studio songs, including a zesty cover of the Zombies classic 'She's Not There' that reached the Top 30. However unconventional, the 'split' strategy went over like gangbusters. Moonflower reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 and achieved double-platinum status - feats the group would not again replicate for 22 years. These, and the beautiful quality of the program itself, are among the reasons why the 1977 effort remains viewed by critics and fans alike as a must-have.


Sourced from the original master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing in California, housed in a Stoughton jacket, and strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM 2LP set of Moonflower presents the record in audiophile sound for the first time on a domestic reissue. The enhanced sonics extend not only to Carlos Santana's six-string wizardry, but to the rhythmic, melodic, and vocal elements coursing through both the studio and live cuts: the grip and depth of the bass lines; the wash of the organ; the scope and carry of the vocals; and much more. So whether you fall for the sidewinding spell of a spicy rendition of 'Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen,' lose your head to the momentum of 'Soul Sacrifice/Head, Hands & Feet,' or keep dropping the needle on the savory grace of the brilliant reading of 'Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile),' this pressing of Moonflower puts you in good hands.

Just by chance, went to MOFI website where I ordered Woman and Children First SACD last September, and my order has gone from shipping date of TBA to Backordered! I am pissed. I suppose that means they took a shitload of pre-orders, knowing full well their first run would only fulfill a fraction of those?? Anyone else have thoughts?

or get this for 20 bucks

Maybe, but even so. Why the change from TBA to now backordered? That is a recent change.

 

[cbmmm3]

prolly an order placement thing internally at MOFI or credit card issue. I ordered my version 2 freaking years ago !!!
Or - lol - this is how they can manipulate to get that 5 dollar price increase on the order

How can I tell what credit card I used? That data isn't saved, doesn't show up in my order. I suppose that card could have expired. I have no clue. Ugh.

It is amazing that the next Van Halen title has taken so long to be released. Meanwhile, they have no problem with releasing several Miles Davis, Santana and other titles. I ordered both the SACD and Vinyl and haven’t heard a peep. So, I would bet Women and Children First hasn’t been released yet. Hopefully, they’ll release Fair Warning at the same time but that would be a pipe dream…..whatever the hell that means.

Ordered a pair from Jairus Sharif on Bandcamp Friday:

Not so much waiting…. Wishing they would repress Grace Jones’ Hurricane & Hurricane Dub (with Sky & Robbie). Think they only orig pressed 500 or 1000 and they go for silly money these days
