Morcheeba - Who Can You Trust?
posted a review of Morcheeba - Who Can You Trust?. 5 months ago
For a bootleg it's excellent. It's very clear and amplifies better than the original Indochina cd. Good clarity and bass.
Glad to have this on record. Although the artwork is the original black sleeve, it really is about time they reissued it, and... See full review

Great album, really well pressed and very nice sounding.
Records were filthy out of the sleeve. As you all know on new lps the static stops the record from slipping out the inner so this records dirt lines and grease marks was direct from the factory... See full review

The sound recording on this is really quite good. Yes, there is some surface noise hiss. Nothing that's anything overly annoying. Once the music kicks in you'll not notice it. The record isn't red at all but an unremarkable yet bizarre muddy berry... See full review

The mastering is excellent but mine was shipped filthy. Paper dust and fingerprints everywhere. Two cleans to get it close to being quiet..

i must say im very surprised at how well pressed this record is. Sound-wise its very clear but it will need a bit of a wipe down or better still a full wet clean out of the sleeve. Ive had this since this version was released and its a great... See full review

There's no room for disappointment here. Exceptionally well performed album. An equally splendid pressing and housed in high quality inners and a lovely thick gatefold sleeve. Deserves way more hype and adulation this. Buy on site

This is an exceptional electronic record finding a razors edge balance between L.Vs hard dance and ambient house/techno. Youre just willing it to kick into 120bpm's but he holds back (only just) to let it envelope you into magnificently detailed and... See full review

To put it simply, this is without a shadow of a doubt one of the finest all round records I've ever had in my possession. The music is astonishing, the pressing incredible, the sleeve both inner and outer a delight.
This is a triumph albeit an... See full review

After having the release date pushed back on three occassions just like the comments below this is very much worth the wait. This is dreamy stuff and a beautiful return. The clear pressing is completely silent and pressed to an excellent quality level... See full review

These tone poet releases are steadily becoming my favourite series of jazz records. If you are in this for the music over mint originals this set is astounding. The consistancy of sound and packaging makes these worth that extra 10-15 dollars/pounds.... See full review

ive got all of these reissues so far and you have to say they are simply magnificent. I missed them all the first time round. These are all well worth the wait, exceptional quality.

Breathtaking album that stands up with ease with the first two. My only criticism is the state of the pressings and the fact that they are filthy. After two full enzyme based cleaning, no difference. Not a hope in hell to make these records sound... See full review

Exceptional pressing quality on both discs. I concur that it may be the best edition of treasure. I've always found Canadian 4AD records to be consistent and comparable to the UK pressings. I have both, there's nothing in it...

So I just got my copy of the silver pressing. I didn't get a cassette in my parcel.
The sound quality of the vinyl isn't too bad but the pressing quality is the worst of the year for me.
Record is mildly off centre and covered in grazes. I ran it... See full review

im not one for buying lost recordings, but as a long time fan this is actually a decent record. It wont change your life but definitely well worth adding to your W.P collection. Pressing is fairly good and in a quite odd choice of pink.

Their expectations of quality must be exceptionally high as i only heard a subtle level of surface noise that did not in anyway detract or distract from the music. Compared to other releases ive bought, this isnt bad at all. Im glad i took the gamble.... See full review

Impeccable record really. Not only do you have one of the best records from the 90s, it is pressed and sounds magnificent. The sleeve and lined inners are as you would hope. A pricier triple lp, but it is money I'm glad I parted with. Highly recommended.

This is the silver label series so its not as dynamic as other mofi pressing done at 45rpm. Make no mistake though, this a damn fine record and an excellent pressing.

This album really is exceptional. A marriage of old R&B and 21st century style. Such an album deserves a pressing of the highest order. What we have here is a sibilance masterclass. As a medium I have 50 year old records that sound better.... See full review

Pop reissue of the year for me.. I've not heard a better pressing in a long while. While there will always be a few bad ones in all pressings, I've struck gold with this one. Dead silent, dead flat. For under 20 quid in today's age of second rate... See full review

I too have the 2019 repress direct from Juno.. Apart from a slight Warp this plays superbly on my Rega P3. Dynamic crisp and very bass and warm. Needed a clean out of the sleeve, but I can live with that.

A quite wonderful record a really pleasant surprise. For 98% of my copy it's fairly decent. But track one side two, looks like someone used it for Ninja throwing star practice. Shame otherwise a decent 8/10..
