Steve Gunn – Way Out Weather

Amazing music end to end album. The pressing is very clean. The mastering is veiled and has no top end. Highly compressed. The digital high res
Stream is sublime. One of those few cases where the digital blows away the vinyl. I have a great copy of this vinyl no issues with press

I wrote an email to Paradise of Bachelors and they said that there is a repress of this coming out in May 2022!

I will echo the previously posted comments here. Beautiful record. Pressing is quite fine!

Great Pressing. Really flat, quiet and warm. The music on this disc is lush like Wilco's summerteeth with more of a folk tinged quality. Great for mid spring days.

The music of Steve Gunn’s newest release Way Out Weather, is ebbing from my speakers like some hypnotic high tide, inching across my floor, enveloping the space in which I sit, and shifting my eyes to the windows, where the sun is setting behind the mountains, while extending its long orange fingers to caress my face and warm my heart ... or is that Steve’s music [?], songs played with precision and grace, songs that gently unfold, songs that are lush, slightly liquid, and as distant as the horizon, sweeping back memories of Perfect Prescription by Spacemen 3.

Now, I don’t want you to go thinking that Gunn’s music is some sort of warm nostalgic reincarnation, floating in on the tail end of a summer breeze, barely disturbing a quiet forgotten desert street ... but yes, these songs do run deep, lodged in forgotten places, from forgotten times, moving like dim car headlights through closed blinds across my ceiling, sparking dreams of intoxication, and calling, as if there’s something just out of sight that’s about to happen.

Sonically great sounding record, entirely worth the low price, a must have!

WARNING: The Jacket from this company is insanely small and tight, this means that you'll have trouble getting the empty sleeve back in the jacket, yet alone the vinyl (though if one stores vinyl in jackets that's foolish), even though new, the jacket will show the outline of the record. This would also concern me with original record insertion, wondering what damage was done to the record during this phase of production.
