Terrible pressing. Noisy vinyl. Not even 180gm. Cheap sleeve. Waste of a great opportunity to do this great album justice. Buyer beware!

Ba Da Bing Records is reissuing this album, and Talk Talk's Laughing Stock very soon! http://www.badabingrecords.com/2011/09/talk-talk-and-mark-hollis-lps-reissued/
Rated 5/5

Two Neumann M50 omni pattern microphones were placed at the front of the studio, about ten feet apart. There they remained for the duration of the recording session, one panned hard left, the other hard right. To control balance and level, musicians positioned their instruments around the room, drums in back, vocals up front. With the noise reduction disengaged, each performer records their part. About as minimal as a record gets.

A minor classic, which still remains undiscovered, this is one to search out and revell in. Talk Talk never sound dated, can't be said of 99% of 80's groups, this is an extension of their sound. The voice is used as an instrument, and we thought it was just to convey our thoughts, No, not ahead of their time, just right out there on their own, wanted to be different and still as fresh as ever. As a sound artist...writer...exceptional
