Bonobo – Black Sands

What an amazing press – it's one of my favorites in my relatively smaller collection. Love the color, too.

Tbh the volume lvl is quite on parr with digital releases, it does have small oomph on the lower end though.
not that terrible repress, quite sensible I'd rather say, I've seen/heard much much worse.

Fantastic sound quality, really dynamic and the seperation is fantastic.

These came in real dirty and the inner sleeves are utter trash, sticky and they flake off plastic "hairs". Give them a good wash and use anti static sleeves.

This is perfect. This is perfect. This is perfect. This.

Got this from Juno and it appears to be a 2023 repress (23 XXXXXX stamped in runout).

Solid repress, sounds great! VInyl appeared dirty and velum inners left some debris. A wash and new poly inners are recommended.

Playing it now as I type this. The mix is very muddy, kicks are WAY too loud. This is the first record I've had in a while where I've had to turn down my preamp since it was going into the red every kick.

MP3 code comes as a sticker placed onto the A/B inner sleeve, almost certain to damage the sleeve in any attempt to remove it. Stupidest MP3 code method I have ever seen.

The size of the gatefold is substantially larger than any record I own by 1/4” in two directions. It will not fit in record sleeves.

This edition worth every penny. I'm not so much in with the colored vinyl, but i'm so glad with this one!
