Charli XCX – Crash

More than disappointed LOL. I got 1 copy at a local record store. I played it at home and it was warped. I exchanged it. The other one I got was warped. I returned it and went to a different record store a few miles away. Also warped.. I kept because only 2 songs are fully unplayable (good ones & lightning, although possibly my favorites 🙄). The bass is clipped too.. Besides the bad quality, the vinyl is cool, never seen this color printed before, and the gatefold and lyric sheet were very neat. and not everyone seemed to have the warping issue, so maybe it was a regional thing? Idk

Overall great pressing. It sounds darker than the original digital file on side A but side B sounds great, very dynamic and bright, and Used to Know Me, I prefer this master of the song over the digital master.

sounds exactly like a compressed digital file, but it's fine enough value for the original retail price (i paid $22.99).

Slightly compressed, but still sounds clear + not bad overall. The last tracks on each side had a decent amount of distortion

Sounds pretty amazing except for on the last tracks of each side which sucks for side A because “Move Me” is my favorite track. My copy is also dish warped but I’m working on fixing that with my record weight.

sounds amazing and looks gorg!! very happy with this pressing!

got this copy in person at her rough trade g on friday and it sounds great! i am never disappointed with charli's pressings, i like the colour of the vinyl aswell, i don't have a lot of silver / grey pressings so it's nice to have another one :)

Sound quality is actually very good on this pressing overall. No surface noise whatsoever too. "Used To Know Me" sadly sounds messy here, but that is the only song that has compression issues, everything else is great. I have the standard red coming too so I will see if there is any difference in sound quality.

Okay thoughts on this press. this record is silent to the point that it stands out among all of my modern vinyl pressing’s. The bass is crisp and clear. The high end is little sibilant but probably due to my system’s the imperfections. Or due to soundwall style mastering which is fairly common, and doesn’t take away from the overall experience. The stereo widening and depth of this record however, is exceptional and stands out among all vinyl records I have ever heard. Ever. Came slightly dished and a little dusty 4.5/5 overall.

Grey vinyl is the worst variant out of this release
