  • Plain Recordings Vinyl Disappointment

    1 out of 5 stars
    bexsawfvSeptember 27, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This Plain Recordings vinyl is absolute rubbish. The "180g" record is full of noise, and the mastering from the CD source is weak and thin. I wasted $23 on this impulse purchase. Next time, I'll steer clear of anything pressed by Plain Recordings.

  • Crisp Sound, Great Playtime

    5 out of 5 stars
    lakomhukolaquSeptember 14, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Wow! I kept my fingers crossed hoping this would sound great after reading the reviews, and I wasn't let down. It's got a nice clean and crisp sound, and that fuzz bass really packs a punch. The separation with the vocal harmonies and cymbals/toms is pretty good too. This thing is gonna get a lot of playtime.

  • Plain Delivers Quality Sound

    5 out of 5 stars
    NapZev9710June 29, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Against my better judgement, Plain really nailed it this time. The sound quality is fantastic.

  • Quality Copy, Lovely Variant

    5 out of 5 stars
    ominxeddeax_merorlkDecember 13, 2024United States🇺🇸

    The quality of my copy is fantastic. I'd heard some negative feedback about plain pressings, but mine have always been good. I considered selling it, thinking there might be a 30th anniversary edition next year, but this one's perfect and has a lovely color variant.

  • 1995 vs 2019 Pressing Comparison

    5 out of 5 stars
    zhiopumxhuivobOctober 30, 2024United States🇺🇸

    The 1995 original pressing is fantastic. It's your typical thin vinyl, but the overall quality is great. The sound is consistently good throughout, smooth and full. When I compare it to the 2019 reissue, they sound identical to me. Both have the same little quirks, like the vocals being really low in the chorus of "Where’s Summer B." and some parts that are almost too sharp but not quite. So, unless you're really set on having an original, I'd suggest going with the 2019 reissue to save some cash.
