Edited 3 months agoReviewing every record in my collection;
Wow wow wow wow wow UNBELIEVABLE! The sound on this pressing is literally Immaculate, the amount of details one can hear in the background and how "Clean" it sounds, this must be, with no doubt, one of the best sounding Records in my collection. I own an Argentinian first press and the differences are evident, go for this UK first press if possible; you won't regret it one bit. I'm still amazed they haven't reissued this record, especially with Kate's boom that happened because of Stranger Things, a greatest hits compilation for all of those who wanted to bite in and start diving into Kate, to me it's a no brainier. But well, if only it makes this first press more valuable. -
Edited 6 months agoV good pressing. Very dynamic. The production is great. The drums could be a bit louder but the music especially the synths is superb. Still sounds cutting edge - don't know how she did it! I like the new vocal on 'Wuthering Heights'. Probably my favourite 'best of' LP's. Tour De Force.
-
I love the new vocal wuthering heights, but the pressing DOESNT do the song justice whatsoever, sounds super flat and muddy, even if my speakers are moderately low.
-
The new vocal on Wuthering Heights really kills this for me. So disappointing to listen in to the first track and get this half arsed version.
-
One of the finest sounding albums I own. Whoever responsible for the pressing did a wonderful job -
An incredible selection of songs. Excellent pressing which still plays like new after all these years....highly recommended -
What can I say this is utter perfection. The songs the sound. What a joy it is to listen to this iconic album. I'm so happy to have this again
-
-
It's pretty lame that an absolutely NOT rare record now sells for crazy high prices just because kids heard "Running Up That Hill" on Stranger Things....poor vinyl, becoming a kids toy.... -
Pretty good collection .I really like Kate Bush´s dicography.I prefer albums, but this collection is a good way to start listening Kate Bush
5/5
