I haven’t posted here in awhile. However something came to my attention that’s especially concerning. It seems Mobile Fidelity has been misleading us regarding their sourcing. I’m sorry to say but it seems MoFi has been sourcing their recordings not from original analog tape as they’ve advertised but digital files.

Unbelievably, disappointing….

I have a Ducretet-Thomson recording by the Zoot Sims Sextet. It is a London pressing though, so basically Decca.
I have a Ducretet–Thomson pressing of Nat Adderley’s quintet session for Savoy, featuring Jerome Richardson. Excellent audio quality.
I had a Henri Renaud trio/orchestra recording on Ducretet-Thomson, but sold it. Excellent audio quality too.

I’m honored to be mentioned in this edition of’Jazz Collector.’ Perhaps this may soon become a catch phrase, to “ go the lennib route.”
I’m happy I took that route and if you ever decide to, you received plenty of applicable advice in previous post. I’ll just add that I really have no regrets. The music’s always with you.
And yes I did feel the Ducretet-Thompson pressings were often exquisite and Clifford. ‘Affectionate Fink’ is one that got awsy from me too esrly.

Concerning the London pressings I agree. I do have some London pressings that were originally released on Riverside or Savoy e.g. Thelonious Monk or Nat Adderly. Is it correct that they were pressed by Decca in London?Never had the Chance to listen to a Ducretet-Thomson pressing.

I have a number of examples to prove this statement, Mariano, Candoli, where I decided to ditch the US copies and keep the Londonpressing. My copy of Daddy plays the Horn was a US cut out. I sold it because of the mediocre sound.
