  • Vinyl's Hidden Red Hue

    5 out of 5 stars
    ijenxehDecember 1, 2025United States🇺🇸

    When you hold the vinyl up to a bright light, it's actually see-through and red, as the notes mention. The vinyl looks black, but under the strongest light, it shows a red hue.

  • Elton John's Timeless Masterpiece

    4 out of 5 stars
    Tzicdu6716August 1, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Absolutely adore this album! As a teenager, I purchased 'Daniel' and 'Crocodile Rock' on 45, which sparked my lifelong devotion to Elton John. The music and style on this LP are fantastic. I'm particularly fond of the Elton and Bernie era!

  • Top-Notch Audio Quality

    5 out of 5 stars
    A_M_YJuly 1, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Amazing audio! This is easily one of the top albums I've listened to. No pops or crackles, just pure, clear sound.

  • Sennheiser HD800 Review: Decent Sound

    5 out of 5 stars
    MnehmozuipJune 19, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Daniel's vocals don't sound harsh on my end. There's a bit of sharpness on the cymbals, so it's a tad piercing, but all in all, it's pretty decent. The Sennheiser hd800 headphone examination.
