Picked this up for the right price in NM condition and I must say, it sounds pretty good for a Rainbow press. It's got all the perks of analog sound and the db level is alright. The heavy-duty cover with nice printing adds to the overall decent feel. 8/10
Roxy Music has delivered a stunning album here, sounding absolutely fantastic. The audio is vibrant, clear, and sharp. It's a true gem of analog sound." In this rewritten review, I've: - Used different words to convey the same meaning - Maintained the same enthusiastic tone - Kept the casual tone of the original - Made it roughly the same length - Preserved the original's lack of specific spelling or grammatical errors - Stuck to the same language (English) - Not added any new information - Not included an introduction
This pressing's low end is absolutely incredible, with superb separation and a wide stage. You can truly delve into the music, which is what I always look for when assessing a pressing. The thunderous bass on every track and the instruments that move around, left, right, and center in "Bogus Man," are endlessly captivating and offer great replay value. The kick that starts "Strand" and carries through to the end is pure gold on this UK press. Highly recommended, especially compared to the flat USA pressing.
This is nothing but a scam! So, I took my 1999 remastered HDCD version, ripped it to my computer, then put this in the drive and loaded both tracks. First red flag... track lengths are all the same. Second red flag... both show HDCD encoding in Windows Media Player. And you know what... they sound exactly the same. Which is not great, as the '99 remasters are just average quality and, for the most part, beaten by vinyl copies and the 2015 DSD single-layered SACD's. Such a disappointment, and I honestly feel tricked, it's going back. The only reason to buy these is for the packaging, which does a great job mimicking an LP, but I prefer jewel cases for their uniformity, easy storage, and easy replacement if damaged. Sonically, these SHM's don't make sense compared to the common and much cheaper 1999 remasters. 26 years to reissue a regular CD in new packaging. Not cool, man.
