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.
The sound level on this record is quite low, and it has a bit of a flat sound, missing those vibrant highs. I usually don't like things too loud, but I have to turn it up to get a decent listening level. The higher volume also makes the flaws of this United pressing more noticeable. Most of the songs cover it up, but there's some crackling between tracks, and it's audible on one or two of the softer ones. It's not the absolute worst, but it's nowhere near the quality of an Optimal or Pallas pressing, if one existed. It's a bit disappointing because this LP is out of print, and you pay a bit more to get it now. It's worth the original price, but not the current market prices. Still, it's something for a Joe Jackson fan to enjoy. I like the album.
This pressing has a low recording volume, which makes it sound a bit flat and missing those vibrant highs. I usually don't like things too loud, but with this one, I have to turn it up just to get a decent listening level. And when you do that, you start noticing all the issues with this United pressing. Most tracks cover it up, but there's some crackling between songs and it's noticeable on a couple of the quieter ones. It's not the absolute worst, but it's nowhere near the quality you'd get from an Optimal or Pallas pressing if they made one. It's a bit disappointing because this LP is out of print, and you pay a bit extra to get it now. It's worth the original price, but not what they're charging these days. Still, it's got some good stuff for a Joe Jackson fan. I quite like the album.
