Incredible audio quality! A total must-have for any Green Day enthusiast (who, for some reason, still doesn't own this album in any format...)
Wow, what an incredible piece of art!!! This version sounds crystal clear, super loud, and there's hardly any surface noise!!! It's an outstanding mastering and pressing job! I'd definitely recommend it!
The first disc had a minor warp, which made my AT-LP70X jump during "Holiday." However, when I took it to the record shop and tried it on a more advanced turntable, there were no skips. The staff there also noticed a different issue with "Holiday" apart from the skipping. The second disc was flatter but still had a tiny warp; it played fine, though.
Walmart is refusing to take back the super bent versions I got, so don't purchase this from them unless you're okay with risking $30.
This version of the album is truly exceptional, and it's the finest I've encountered thus far. The vocal and, more notably, the instrumental clarity are truly outstanding. Some "purists" might disagree with the latter point, as I did observe that the guitar compression was significantly reduced for this release, but in my opinion, this enhancement improves the overall presentation. Moreover, the soundstage is far more expansive and dynamic than any digital version I've heard, allowing subtle details to stand out with unprecedented clarity. Regarding the pressing itself, it's a masterclass by RTI. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: RTI IS THE BEST PRESSING PLANT IN THE WORLD! Both discs were perfectly flat and played with astonishingly quiet, pitch-black backgrounds. Everything about these LPs looked impeccable. It's refreshing to see a plant that consistently delivers, especially for high-end, expensive releases like this one. The packaging is a bit of a mixed bag for me with these one-steps. To be honest, I'm not a fan of the cardboard sleeves that hold the more traditional gatefold jackets. Don't get me wrong, it's a high-quality sleeve, but it's unnecessary and doesn't enhance the product. It just serves as a big announcement that this is a "special" One-Step release. It's just one more thing to deal with when handling and playing my discs, which I find irritating. That said, the gatefold itself is stunning, and I'd have been happy to display it on my shelf without the extra bulk of the cover sleeve. But everyone's preferences may vary on that front. Overall, I believe this is an outstanding release from Because Sound Matters, and I hope they maintain this excellent standard of quality in the future.
