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.
I wasn't sure what to anticipate based on these reviews, but my version actually sounds pretty decent. There's a bit of background noise here and there. I genuinely don't believe this press is as poor as others make it out to be.
Sadly, I had to swap this vinyl three times because of scratches, but the original cover is absolutely stunning! Not wanting to spend twice as much on a first pressing, I settled for this one. I'm really loving the amazing, amazing balance between guitar, piano, vocals, and strings!
Nick Drake's incredible album, not a single weak track!!! Just incredible, raw and top-notch songwriting!!! A definite MUST OWN for any collection!!
As others have mentioned, this is an extremely loud pressing, which is unfortunate. It's so bad that it's not pleasant to listen to, so I wouldn't suggest it.
This pressing sounds absolutely fantastic and blows away anything else out there, particularly when it comes to dynamics and vocal clarity. Just so you know, this one is definitely superior to the '76/'77 reissues with "EG" in the runout (which, by the way, still outperform the newer reissues but can feel a tad flat and less engaging—another reviewer mentioned this too). Aim for anything with 3U (or 4U for the '78), just make sure it's not an EG press. The only downside here is that this disc is really susceptible to noticeable static buildup.
