Average White Band – AWB

Really nice pressing. Great separation in the soundstage and a punchy bottom end. Vinyl is flat, clean, and quiet.

excellent album and amazing pressing... really punchy in the bottom end. much better than the repress

These runout matrices are the closest to my version but IMO The "I" in the runout indicates an Indianapolis pressing.

This reissue is really perfect. All the other LPs of the Clear Vinyl Edition are also quite outstanding. Flat, not wavy and with perfect sound.

Little bit of background sound with this pressing... other than that happy to have this in my collection... Have a 1974 pressing which is definitely more punchy in the bottom end

Wonderful sound and looks amazing too! Everything a reissue should be!

Darrell, without knowing you wrote the review I picked this AWB title as one of my top sounding CD-4 titles I own. I've found these CD-4 lps vary from album to album and even from track to track. They all lose fidelty IMO compared to the SQs and some are not listenable because of the sandpaper sound noticeable on the symbols. And the condition of the vinyl doesn't seem to make a difference so I don't know, maybe I just need to adjust my tracking to fix it. All 4 Doobie quads suffer from this. The AWB lp has maybe 1 or two tracks that don't sound great but the rest is fine. Next: James Taylor-One Man Dog

on mine, the side edge is really rough/chippy, like they didn't fully finish it

I fount the second side to be good enough to frequently play. Love pulling this stuff out and blowing minds.
