Old Reissue Repackaged
3 out of 5 stars

Isn't this really a 2005 repressing of an older reissue? The packaging and CD label seem like they're from the late 1980s.
Crisp but Bass-Lacking Pressing

Great and crisp pressing but it's seriously lacking in bass!!! For way better bass, go for the Japanese version from '76.
Speakers Corner Stereo Excellence
5 out of 5 stars

I absolutely love Speakers Corner! The stereo editions have an incredibly holographic soundstage, with amazing depth, width, and height! But it's not just about the stage, it's all about the texture and the wealth of details, always with a warm sound! All of this comes in a superb package, with excellent paper and print quality at a reasonable price! Well done, SC!
Vinyl's Superior Sound Quality
5 out of 5 stars
fqsfezmOctober 6, 2024United States🇺🇸
This vinyl record is absolutely fantastic, and it's the one I always point to when demonstrating the massive sound quality gap between streaming and top-notch vinyl. The lossless track on Apple Music pales in comparison, sounding dull and lifeless next to this pressing. I've got a CD version that's pretty impressive too, but this one still takes the cake in my opinion. Definitely a pressing worth picking up!
Muted Flute Disappoints
3 out of 5 stars

In my opinion, Mann's flute on this version comes across as muted and far-off when compared to the original. It's quite disappointing, really drains the vibrancy from the entire album. I suppose I'll have to keep searching for a decent CD version.
