The Gene Clark set is finally on it's way, supposedly upgraded to 200g vinyl from 180g which seems more than heavy enough. I'm not sure what those mid 70s RCA flexidisc things were, 60g? Those things was weird, flopped around then sprang back flat.
I hear good things about those MRS releases. The only
complaints are from mostly hypocrites who own many
Elvis bootlegs and yet complain about these not being
legitimate releases.

I'm not sure the thicker vinyl makes for a better sounding
record. For me the 180g is enough. More than that I start
wondering about the height of the tonearm. I have many
of those flexidisc. By the time I was old enough to buy records
the industry had gone to that unfortunately.
