Roger Waters – The Lockdown Sessions

Not sure what people are complaining about, but I love my pressing. Maybe I got lucky. Sounds great - better than the digital version on YouTube I had been listening to.

I have a second copy and there are still clicks and pops throughout side B. My first copy had a scratch across Comfortably Numb on side B which clicked on every revolution and was very annoying, plus loud pops throughout that track. Very disappointing pressing quality and a record with a scratch and many loud clicks should not be sold.

Remarkable how, despite Waters status as a British artist only one of the thirty examples available for sale on Discogs is from a UK seller…and at a whooping £32.44 (single CD) it being the most expensive, too.

A lucky copy, I guess - clean and quiet. The sound is deep and spacious. A worthy record overall.

Just got a copy today. It's flat and sounds great. No noise whatsoever. Either I got lucky or they've pressed a better batch than the early reviews.

can You please send info: is a code included?

I got mine from Amazon today and I’m not sure if they fixed the issues or what, but mine sounds great. Totally silent, no issues.

Remarkably crap pressing. Not sure where this is pressed, but it sucks. LOTS of surface noise, very loud underlying crackling noise that doesn’t go away and is audible even on loud sections. Pops and ticks throughout. Edges feel cheap. It’s pretty bad.

Bought mine new in HMV - sealed. But had to send it back as it had deep scratches across the lip of the vinyl. HMV replaced it, but had the same issue. Swapped it from a different HMV shop but once again the same issue aaahh! HMV agreed it was a faulty batch of scratched records. But as I didn't want my money back, just a record that wasn't faulty, they agreed I could keep trying until I found one in the shop. 4 sealed copies later, I finally found one that didn't have the deep scratch marks, but even this had a faint non-sounding line across the lip and non sounding mark across Side 2 ! Best of a bad batch, I guess. Although the sound does suffer from some odd phase anomalies in parts and out of phase in some drum parts (sounds more like a bouncing ball than a drum wallop!) The Sound Quality is simply stunning. Was all worth the effort in the end. Thank you HMV Chester & especially Liverpool ❤️ they were brilliant.

A cheap purchase, as always Roger Waters give a perfect item : big sound, fine stereo and soundscape, good pressing. This new version of old and unespected songs is a good idea.
