    The original pressing is far more dynamic. Not to say this is a bad copy but low end is lost in this mix. Side by side comparison is an easy win for the original.

      While this sounds great, imo it is not the way the album was intended to sound. With a lot of these Abbey Road Half-Speed Masters, they usually lose a lot of the low end. With this album specifically, it lessens the experience as this album isn't meant to be an audiophile experience and the low end is important (I mean c'mon it's Hip-Hop we're talking about). There's definitely more clarity and space. I fs noticed more than I ever have, but it doesn't make for a better experience. There's like no punch to anything either, which almost ruins some of the tracks imo. It's definitely cool to hear the album like this, and I recommend picking it up; as it's the only somewhat affordable pressing with all the tracks, but I prefer the 20th Anniversary reissue completely

        The sound is absolutely amazing. Much better then the original pressings or any other repress/reissue !

          Great pressing of a seminal work. This is an absolute treasure in my collection.

            It sounds lovely, more than I expected given the source material. Few too many clicks for my liking - plenty that don't blend into the material =) but still, loving it. It sounds composed, measured, and musical.
            It's really driving me to pull out some other records and at the same time gagging to be played again from the start.
            I don't have any of the earlier vinyl releases for comparison..I will be content with this one for a while

              I don't know if a half speed mastered process is needed with an album based on 12 bit samples. But it does sound fantastic. Very happy with it. I also have the OG cd from way back and a 2002 repress with bad pressing quality. At last a clean and quality pressing.

                It sounds great, don't get me wrong, and the pressing is high quality with very little surface noise. I just prefer the original mastering. This is the kind of album that does not benefit from re-balancing, equalizing, and whatever other adjustments are made in the Half Speed Master process. The original (I'm talking the pressing from the 2016 box set, which I consider the definitive version) is more bass heavy, and just more raw sounding. This HSM is too balanced (to my ears) if that makes sense, gaining perhaps more detail but sacrificing some of that deep bass. I can only speculate that this is not how Josh Davis intended this to sound, but instead is more of a re-imagining of this classic.

                  Great reissue of a classic! The sound is amazing… couldn’t be happier with this LP.

                    If I had a (long) sit down to think about what albums would make my personal lifetime top ten, Endtroducing would be in there, sounding as fresh now as it did all those 25 years ago. An absolute masterpiece.

                      Without a “shadow” of a doubt, this IS the definitive pressing of “Endtroducing”. The vinyl is unbelievably flat, the bass response so rich and creamy, and the sound stage, just so expansive. As my best friend, Babish Patel said as he checked the flatness of the wax with his special little spirit level, “this record is, just such a spunkalicious treat!!”
