Herbie Hancock – Inventions And Dimensions

Such a fun record with great sound. The drums do sound a bit forward but it’s still very enjoyable. My copy was flat and sounds great. When I get a bad pressing I try to send it back.

Not a great pressing. As others have already documented, I heard a ton of "fuzz" (to the point where I thought it was the needle/stylus) and distortion. Great album from Hancock. Mediocre pressing.

Picking up this record is like playing the lottery. Some people may have won the jackpot with a perfect pressing. I, on the other hand, picked up a whammy - all sorts of no-fill and distortion all over the record. Total disappointment.

Mine plays perfectly. I notice zero distortion during Triangle, even though I was made hyper aware that there might be. Technics 1300 AT540ML. Maybe some people need to switch to a DD :D

Heads-up, this is a great sounding pressing. Very well mastered, good separation, nice mids. Get it, don’t hesitate.

This press is superb!! It seems to listen to the original first press! The sound is warm, powerful and rich!!! Every instrument is audible and perfectly balanced!!! A must, considering that it contains a bonus track (Mimosa long version) never released on vinyl!

I have this exact same disc but my copy has a first MONO pressing jacket despite being a Liberty Stereo Record.

Sounds good but a fair amount of wow/flutter on side B which isn’t great. Don’t know if it’s my copy of the recording the piano sound too wobbly for me

I got a good copy and imho this is far better sounding than most of the famous blue notes. Cleaned B4 playing, with RCM, as with all purchases I make now. The artistry from the pianist and his fellow musicians is refreshingly original and exquisitely crafted.

Spectacular! My first copy like that of many others’ was riddled with distortion. I sent it back and got another copy from a different seller (these can tend to be bad in batches) and the second copy was perfect.
