....if you can find a copy of Tommy that was pressed for Decca by Mercury and mastered by Gilbert Kong, grab it.
Definite a cut (get it?) above the regular Decca/MCA.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.

Here's the 1971 reissue cut by Gilbert Kong.
What is the sign that it was pressed by Mercury?

The story I got was, the album sold so well that MCA/Decca had to farm out some of the pressing work to other labels. That's how I found out about the GK copy. I'd have to check my copies (yeah I have two copies even though I rarely play them), but I think the Kong version, the groove around the label's in a different place.
If I'm wrong, well...only as good as my sources.

Interesting all the takes on this topic.
In response to some replys here....
Ghost, I agree jazz lps and soft female singers like Sade, Diana Krall are quite good. Analog Production of Getz Gelberto and Dave Burbeck are crazy good.
Tom, If a stylus keeps jumping out of groove, sounds like a tonearm setup issue.
Triode, a Youtube record store owner with an insane rig rates different pressings of same albums. You may be fortunate to have gotten better pressings and or a tube rig has a different affect.
Goober,all I can say is good and great recordings sound amazing on my rig. I attribute the "ugly" to just bad recording, mixing and or pressing.
Finally by fault of my own I use to enjoy music for music on my old modest system in my teen years. I guess having put alot of time and money into a system sets a high expectation.
They looked at jazz as art and rock n roll as product.
Until the late-60s/early-70s when a younger generation of record company execs took over.
