Reviews

Not sure I agree with some of the bad reviews.. Simply exquisite! Like Bonnie is singing in my listening room! Vocals great, instrument separation great, soundstage simply wonderful.. and pretty darn quiet vinyl!

Glad I read the reviews AFTER I bought this. My copy is fantastic - quiet and dynamic. No sibilance. I would prefer Bonnie’s vocals more prominent in the mix but they really aren’t too far off.

The OG Sheryl Crow. Even in her later years Bonnie Raitt was putting out bangers.

My copy sounds great - no sibilance and has a great soundstage overall. Not sure why the previous reviews are so mixed. I have an average system imo. Technics SL-D2 tt with a AT cart, MCS 3233 amp/receiver powering 2 Technics 3 way speakers.

My copy sounds good to my ear. Given when it was released I don’t know how much mastering love it got vs the CD, but the vinyl isn’t lively, just solid. I wouldn’t pass on a clean copy for a good price.

Seems EQ’d up to my ear. Very little separation, and definitely not enough of Bonnie in the soundstage. This record begs for a reissue - there’s so much here.

the sibilance is pretty bad on this one word word
