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 one I received had an SST-Cat that didn't list anything more recent than SST-319 (actually from Greg Ginn's band GONE), which came out in 1995. My record has the colored labels as mentioned for the colored versions from 1990 (black, white, silver, and bronze labels) but not for a black vinyl release that wasn't shipped any earlier than 1995... So that's a bit puzzling. If anyone has any thoughts on whether this is yet another pressing since mine doesn't really match this one, let me know.
My 2023 repressing is fantastic, super quiet, no hiss on my copy. I’ve compared it side-by-side with my original '84 large ring press and it’s pretty much on par. It’s got the “k disc” original master etched in the dead wax, so this repressing is the real deal. Bummer if other pressings are all crackly like a campfire.
Wow, this album is an auditory delight! The vocals cut through the mix, the bass is subtle yet present, and the guitars have a sharp, biting tone. It's all perfectly balanced – you can't boost one element without losing another. I've never been a fan of the CD's sound quality, but this vinyl release brings it to life! No need for a repress if you already own this gem. [Tech specs in my profile].
My version sports "42995.1-4 (3)" etched in the runouts, hinting at an RTI 3 phase procedure. Be aware, there's different versions floating around!
Does the inner cardboard have that same brown color like the first press edition did?
