  • Brilliant Pressing, Minimal Warping

    5 out of 5 stars
    IyxM5December 30, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Absolutely brilliant pressing, albeit a tad warped, but it didn't impact playback at all. Once I gave the discs a good clean, they were super quiet, no inner groove distortion on my setup (Technics SL-1200 GR2, Ortofon 2M LVB, Naim Supernait 3).

  • Unstamped but Priceless

    5 out of 5 stars
    SogciRzonDecember 15, 2025United States🇺🇸

    They gave it a number but skipped stamping my OBI! Yet, it's still incredible to have this album wrapped in the master tape. Nope, my unique unstamped but numbered copy is not up for sale! :)

  • Must-Have Re-Release

    5 out of 5 stars
    kitfuxapDecember 9, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Picked this up on impulse, and it's already hands down one of the top recent re-releases I've come across. The background noise is non-existent, and the sound quality is fantastic. A MUST HAVE!

  • Quality Vinyl, Great Packaging

    5 out of 5 stars
    FegesalCazsbeNovember 22, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This pressing is fantastic, just like others have mentioned. The vinyl is super quiet, the bass hits hard, the electronic sounds are crisp, and the vocals are soft and smooth. The packaging is really nice too, with sturdy cardboard that fits the three records perfectly, each with anti-static inner sleeves. The album cover poster is pretty cool as well. Not sure what's going on with Discogs' weird listing for this, but it's definitely a 3xLP release. The first two LPs have the full album, and the third one has 2 outtakes, 2 original mixes, and 11 demos.

  • Awesome, No Middle Problems

    5 out of 5 stars
    nueycopeSeptember 26, 2025United States🇺🇸

    My version sounds awesome, no middle problems. It's gorgeous in every way.

About Stereolab

Stereolab, the iconic Anglo-French avant-pop band, has been captivating audiences since their formation in London in 1990. Led by the dynamic duo of Tim Gane and Lætitia Sadier, Stereolab's sound is a mesmerizing blend of krautrock and 1960s French pop, characterized by repetitive motorik beats, vintage electronic keyboards, and Sadier's enchanting vocals in both English and French. Their lyrics delve into political and philosophical themes, drawing inspiration from Surrealist and Situationist art movements. On stage, Stereolab transforms their sound into a more feedback-driven and guitar-oriented experience. Over the years, they have expanded their musical palette to include influences from funk, jazz, and Brazilian music, making each performance a unique and immersive journey. With a rich discography and a dedicated following, Stereolab continues to push the boundaries of avant-pop, offering a live experience that is as intellectually stimulating as it is sonically engaging.
