• Gloomy Vinyl Gem

  5 out of 5 stars
  DjGigie19 December 2025United States🇺🇸

  It took me a long time to finally get into THE IDIOT, nearly half a century after it dropped. This is quite a gloomy album. It starts off with a bang, with "Sister Midnight" and "Nightclubbing" back-to-back. The tunes often have this strange, trance-like quality, especially on the final track, "Mass Production". I've got no issues with the quality of this pressing, the vinyl is smooth, spotless and hushed, the sound is a tad muddy, but that also fits the mood and atmosphere of the music. My copy plays with zero noticeable surface noise.

• Disappointing Surface Noise

  I encountered more surface noise, ticks, and crackles than anticipated from a fresh pressing. Cleaning the record didn't make much of a difference. It's quite audible even with a top-notch cartridge and stylus setup. Could be a result of the material quality used in the multi-color pressing.

• Different Matrix Run Out

  Hey, I've got this version - Black RCA PL 12275, but it's got a different matrix run out. It's PL 12275 - 1 - A SIDE (IGGY PoP) and PL 12275 - 1 - B SIDE (IGGY PoP).

• Analog Feel Album

  5 out of 5 stars

  Once you give this album a proper clean, it's fantastic. It's got that real analog feel to it, in my opinion.

• UK/Japanese 1983 Version Superior

  4 out of 5 stars
  Vafiguvaemqoza9 September 2025United States🇺🇸

  This version is quite good. Surprisingly, it's even better than my initial American copy and the 2017 remaster. Likely, the first UK and Japanese 1983 editions might still be superior.
