-
Some sibilant vocals, but other than that, great pressing
1 word -
NME magazine once rated The Queen is Dead as greatest album of all time. The
Sound on this pressing is just magnificent -
referencing The Queen Is Dead (LP, Album, Gatefold) ROUGH 96
Picked a NM VG+ copy up in a record store in Camden around 2018.
Fantastic piece of history. Incredible album. -
The second best part about buying this great old pressing is Morrissey gets no money.
-
Great pressing, no surfaces noises, nice soundstage. Easy-to-find edition of a cult album. Go for it ! -
Serious question - what is the point of making a bootleg of an album that has been widely available on vinyl at a low price for the past 15 years? -
Edited one month agoSo does this output a better sound quality than on OG? I am BEYOND impressed with this sound quality.
I must have gotten a good copy because mine is flawless without issue. Especially in the later tracks. -
Mediocre bootleg. The track pressings are wrong as well. I Know It's Over is track 1A, Never Had No One Ever is 2A, Cemetery Gates is A3, The Queen is Dead is A4, Frankly, Mr. Shankley is A5. Side B is correct
-
My copy is flat, centered, and super quiet. Do not mistake vocal sibilance (specifically the first few tracks) for the delivery and mastering; I can detect hints of it on various digital cd / streaming or compressed vinyl compilation presentations in my experience (that's just Moz).
This was like hearing the album for the first time vs. the 2012 stampers in wide circulation today (all of those are excellent rm's). The last third of 'Thorn in His Side' is sonically emotional and kind of breath taking.
Every track manages to capture maximum dynamics in a warm, engaging sound stage...never loses control regardless of power applied. 11/11 post-punk audiophile pressing.
Pro-Ject X1B + Sumiko Wellfleet / Schiit Mani 2 / Musical Fidelity M5si / Dali Oberon 7's -
This is so great! This pressing slaps! Echoing the comments on here. The Smiths best album and optimal did a great job on it. Packaging is nicely done as well. Best way I’ve listened to this album so far.
