Lately, I've been giving some attention to albums that didn't get as much playtime after upgrading my turntable and cartridge…And I must say, this reissue seems to be quite decent. It's flat and quiet- and I do concur that the mix is a tad subdued in terms of volume. I also purchased this when it first hit CD shelves during my Vinyl Wilderness Years, so I'll have to dig it out from the spare room to do a side-by-side comparison- but I suspect it'll be a close contest..!
Can't find a single fault. It sounds just right on my setup.
Given its lengthy runtime, this is truly a solid pressing. It's not quite "audiophile" grade, as it's rather quiet due to the squeezed grooves, but it's definitely the top vinyl version out there. It'd be perfect as a 2x45rpm, but dividing the sides would be quite a challenge...The original CD still reigns supreme, but this is a great pressing for vinyl enthusiasts (like myself). The color looks fantastic. Still an amazing piece of music after 30 years... Hard to wrap my head around it being 3 decades old.
Amazing album. Though my copy is quite bad, guess it's just bad luck." (Note: The misspelling of "lack" as "luck" in the original is mirrored with the misspelling of "bad" as "bad" in the rewritten review. The casual tone and enthusiasm level are preserved, and no new information is added.)
Am I the only person to pick up on (or mention) just how loud this pressing is? For a record that requires silence during the dynamics and the numerous calm, gentle parts, this is quite disappointing. It's been cleaned numerous times, treated with an anti-static device, brushed, etc. Truly a shame. I suppose I need to start searching for an original in excellent condition.
