gotta love this pressing and blondie its perfect 10/10 !

This pressing sounds pretty good, landed a very clean copy. Her voice takes center stage in this throughout, and showcases the different styles she can cover and some very well, others...well...over all a must have for any 80's fan.

This is a very cool album by Blondie and with historyc song Rapture.

Sounds good BUT I prefer the 2017 Back To Black pressing. This one feels thinner than that version. Its not a bad master at all. However, I have played the later version over and over and over, and I bought this to compare the two. To my ears the remaster has a fuller sound. Its nicely rounded with subtle lows and highs. The original sounds more treble heavy.

Either way - fantastic piece of New Wave. It makes me smile how the band recorded it in LA yet if feels like their most New York album. I can imagine walking the streets of NY and hearing any of the songs on Autoamerican drifting out of bars and clubs and strip ts.

That's a mistake to write that the design have been made by "Progam A" (See 1000 Record Covers from Michael Ochs and Phonographiques published by Alexander Mosley in 1982). "Program A" is like A-Side (and "Program B" like B-Side) write on the back cover.Cover design made by John Van Hamersveld.

How good is this album!! Sublime mix of different genres - Blondie’s best by far 😳😳♥️♥️

Not a lot of low end on this pressing but still sounds great (I don't know how more modern pressings compare). 'Autoamerican' is a fantastic album and although many people see this as the sound of a great band falling apart due to excess, I enjoy the mish-mash of styles - lounge jazz, disco, rocksteady, rap, power pop etc. It tails off towards the end but for me it's as good as Parallel Lines and Eat to the Beat, with the added bonus of being more experimental. The Tide is High and Rapture are among their best singles.

Just got a copy of this pressing, sounds pretty good..nice to have the full album version of Rapture again..I bought this album on 8-track when it came out, I was 11 and it was the first album I bought on my own

it is hard to see any difference with the same CDL 1290 indicated as Netherlands I have a copy with a match to neither exact numbers at the end of the matrix. Unless the UK one never came with a printed inner sleeve?
