Quite a bit of gunk in the tracks, especially on side B. After cleaning the vinyl this album sounds, at least to my ears, excellent. I’m yet to listen to an original pressing, curious to hear if there’s a huge difference in quality. -
Edited 13 days agoI have just donned my body armor because.... this sounds much better than the AP 2x45rpm.
There.
I said it 😬 -
Not overwhelmed by this rehash pressing, sounds muddy in parts, an example really, where the original needs to be sought out in favour of in my view. Not bad for non-nerds like me. -
Sounds great. Nice vinyl, flat, clean, quiet. No worries. For an album that was apparently never recorded very well in the first place or that never sounded spectacular to begin with (though I question that) this pressing is perfectly fine. Was very impressed when I first put it on. -
Trying to decide between the EU 2021 pressing (pro: has the glossy cover) and this EU 2009 (pro: has the original labels and inner sleeve).
Both lacquers were cut by BG and pressed by Optimal in .
Now, regarding the most important SOUND criteria, is there a winner? Or are both pretty much on par?
Many mixed reviews here for this 2009 and very few reviews for the 2021... -
Judging from the other comments this is a gamble. The pressing sounds really great however the record is very dirty ive cleaned it maybe 4 times maybe more there's still gunk at every spin that distorts the noise A LOT on top of that there is a recurring buzzing and dragging on side 2 not recommend -
-
I don't understand some of the complaints regarding the soundstage here. To my ears, it is excellent. The use of an original mix probably helps matters. This is truly one of the best-sounding LPs in my collection, if not the best. I wouldn't recommend spending large amounts trying to get an original stereo pressing because, if I understand correctly, this LP contains the original mix anyway. -
This sounds fantastic. No two ways about it. Much better than the original pressing back in '67. Mind you, back then we had ceramic cartridges with a conical crystal stylus that flipped around to play 78s. We didn't have a stereo set-up that cost more than one's house and these albums weren't really recorded for audiophiles. Playing this 2009 European Rhino pressing after listening to the godawful VMP mono press was GOLD to my ears even with a modest setup through a pair of mid-price cans. For what it is and when it was recorded: Brilliant.! -
Close to perfectly flat. Sounds very good. No surface noise. I´m really satisfied with this pressing.
