Budgie – Impeckable

Good pressing, clear sound, great music, recommended old classic rock.

The sound is extremely good on this pressing but only after proper ultrasonic wash. Unfortunately - background noise and clicks, mostly between the tunes but not only.

This remaster is excellent. It's got a whole bunch of interesting track such as; Melt the Ice Away, Dish It Up, even Don't Dilute the Water. "Don't Go Away" is amazing, and the booklet of this CD is really good. If you are a hardcore Budgie fan, you might want to buy this. It's not as strong as In for the Kill, Never Turn Your Back, or Bandolier, but is definitely an album worth getting for collectors to get every album under the Noteworthy Productions label.

this was a nice reissue & remaster back in 2010 of this 1978 underground classic by budgie, this comes with a very nice booklet & the disc sounds great!!!! this was the record that changed things a bit for budgie as per there amazing similar to led zeppelin sound they seemed to have on all records between 1971 to 1976, this album gets a bit different but its still BUDGIE and this was a great record for its time!!! great sound to this remaster!!!! rip burke....

First thing - there are two bonus track NOT MENSIONED on the back cover - and not listed in tracklist above. One at the end of side A and the second one at the end of side B. They are 2008 versions of All At Sea and Don't Dilute The Water. Putting them at the end of each side of this reissue is simply idiotic. They sound different from the basic staff and they are not interesting at all, much worse than the originals - the don't fit at all. They interfere with the natural arrangement of record. Stupidity.
Second thing - cover pictures. Too dark, too blue, too much contrast. Not good.
Third thing - the sound. And surprisingly - in this case - not so bad as the rest of the things. Actually pretty good with the overall sound balance little bit shifted to bright side.

A fantastic album all around. Budgie is an extremely underknown band and it's a real shame they don't receive more attention than they do. This is my favorite album of theirs and it's all-around amazing from start to finish. If you enjoy Impeckable, check out If I Were Brittania I'd Waive the Rules...
