      Absolutely the best sounding pressing of the versions I own. Tops my original and remastered box set pressings by far. I’m hearing things I’d never quite heard on the other pressings. The instruments come through super-clean and Sade’s voice sounds like I’m hearing it again for the first time.

          Very detailed sound quality on this release. Pressing is fantastic too.
          I made two needledrops from this vinyl record - You can find them on the right side in the videos - Under the names:
          Sade - Never As Good As The First Time (1985 Japanese Vinyl)
          Sade - Is It A Crime? (1985 Japanese Vinyl)

            It does sound absolutely amazing. Dead quiet vinyl, crystal clear, crisp vocals and beautiful music.

              Beautiful record -- dead quiet, no pops, warm and punchy lows. Highly recommend this pressing.
