  • Vinyl Delivers Full Sound

    5 out of 5 stars
    wwoxjgoqkt4 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    I must say, the quality of this vinyl record really impressed me. It delivers a fantastic, full sound and is definitely worth adding to your collection.

  • Scratched Gem Sounds Great

    5 out of 5 stars
    bejawomureuc7717 April 2025United States🇺🇸

    Fantastic sounding record, but my copy has a tiny scratch that goes all the way across side C. Since there's been no mention of this problem, I'd guess my copy is one of the few affected, but it's still a letdown. 5/5 stars for the great audio quality, though!

  • Byrne's Top Album Cuts

    5 out of 5 stars
    reqmysacb29 June 2024United States🇺🇸

    Great cuts and the sound is fantastic. I reckon it's one of David Byrne's top albums, in my view.

  • His Finest Solo Creations

    5 out of 5 stars
    Lacak-L.24 January 2024United States🇺🇸

    Is it possible that this, along with Rei Momo and the Young Adam soundtrack, are his finest solo creations? I believe so//
