Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
The audio quality is fantastic and has a great kick. What a shame that only side A is to my liking...
I've only listened to one copy up to this point, and it sounds fantastic— EXCEPT for the horrendous surface noise that messes up the quiet parts on almost every song. This is after I gave it a good cleaning with my Hannl RCM. Sadly, Optimal Media in Germany is notorious for using dirty stampers, and this release is a prime example. Plus, there's no-fill distortion. I'm gonna try another copy, but I'm not hopeful it'll be much better. It doesn't matter how good the sound is if the pressing is trash. If the second copy's just as flawed, this will be a total audiophile flop. Could've been amazing...
I own 3 first press LPs of 1984 from various countries, but this one has the top-notch sound quality of them all!
Gorgeous pressing here. I'd bet an original UK version might sound even better overall, but this one's a great pick.
Same as others have said. Starts off sounding alright...then it doesn't. The mess on the last song of Side A ruins it. Been cleaned real good + even did an ultrasonic soak too.
