I agree, I just found a copy of this one with gold stamp on the front cover. Excellent sounding, very nice soundstage. Highly recommended. Mastered by Robert Ludwig.
The Slits - Cut

This is the one to buy, best sounding unless you can find an original pressing of the vinyl.

Excellent sounding pressing, this is for the EU copy 2017. Beautifully mastered and super quiet pressing. Highly recommended.
Bill Withers - Still Bill
posted a review of Bill Withers - Still Bill. 10 months ago
I feel exactly the same. My original still beats this one out by miles. The mastering is too bright and the vocals are way up in the mix, ear piercing. No more mofi for me.
Bill Withers - Still Bill
posted a review of Bill Withers - Still Bill. 10 months ago
I agree, I just received my copy and after giving it a spin I can confirm, this is another missed opportunity. The bass is way too low in the mix and my biggest gripe is the vocals. They are way too loud, the added too much brightness to the... See full review

Rolling Stones* - Exile On Main St.
posted a review of Rolling Stones* - Exile On Main St.. 11 months ago
I agree, this is the best pressing I’ve ever heard out of the early first pressings. I’ve had some other ones that don’t compare to this SP pressing. I’m an old Stones fan, this is a must have version.
Gong - Shamal
posted a review of Gong - Shamal. 11 months ago
Excellent Gong album, I would categorize this album as funky prog music. This is really an enjoyable record from start to finish The one I have is the first UK pressing, sounds fantastic. A Must Have even for the funky people.

Very nice sounding pressing and presentation with identical inner sleeve like the original.
The Dennis Coffey Band - A Sweet Taste Of Sin

Another excellent funky album from Dennis Coffey but this time with some added vocals. Don't let that stop you from buying this super charged funk record. "A Must Have"

This is a great sounding pressing, highly recommended. Played on my Technics 1200.
Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells A Story

The US pressing from this same year and 1978 also sound a little on thin side, I found this out when I got my hands on an original pressing.
Hubert Laws - Romeo & Juliet
posted a review of Hubert Laws - Romeo & Juliet. 12 months ago
This is a great album for those who like funky jazz instrumental grooves from the seventies. Romeo & Juliet is my least favorite track, it’s not a bad tune but the other tracks are so much better. Highly recommended.
Steely Dan - Countdown To Ecstasy
posted a review of Steely Dan - Countdown To Ecstasy. 12 months ago
If you have to play it loud then it means this is a bad mastering job, not worth getting this. If the sticker on the back cover reads, Made In Czech Republic, Do Not Buy it. It’s crap.
The Smiths - The World Won't Listen
posted a review of The Smiths - The World Won't Listen. 12 months ago
This is a really good sounding pressing, I have the original UK single album and compared both pressings. This 2016 double album has a very nice warm bass sound that the original was lacking. Dont hesitate on this pressing, it's beautifully packaged... See full review

I have this pressing from 2014, white vinyl, sounds very good, highly recommend.
Various - Jazz Dispensary: Hotel Jolie Dame
posted a review of Various - Jazz Dispensary: Hotel Jolie Dame. about 1 year ago
Not one of the better Jazz Dispensary titles, the song selection is very strange, only one pure funk track. Very subdued tunes, boring borderline. I too have a wrapped pressing. Don't over pay for this one especially if it's sealed.
Brother Jack McDuff - Moon Rappin'

I have original pressing with the same issue. I think this is just the way it was recorded.
Alice Coltrane Featuring Pharoah Sanders - Journey In Satchidananda
posted a review of Alice Coltrane Featuring Pharoah Sanders - Journey In Satchidananda. about 1 year ago
Why are the jacket covers larger then normal jacket covers? I'm noticing this with Craft records also and a couple of other companies. This is not good, I don't like the covers sticking out of place in my shelf units.
Patti Smith - Curated By Record Store Day

I too shopped at this store in the late 90s into the 2000’s. Mike was a really nice guy and always helped me out. I bought some great records at his store. I remember when this photo was taken. I didn’t know it at the time that Patti’s son was working... See full review

Lafayette Afro Rock Band - Voodounon
posted a review of Lafayette Afro Rock Band - Voodounon. about 1 year ago
This album is a total funky groove jam, you gotta get this one if you love the funk. This reissue version from 1974 is only missing the song Soul Makossa. It’s not a major big deal, the rest of the songs are so good.
The Velvet Underground & Nico (3) - The Velvet Underground & Nico
posted a review of The Velvet Underground & Nico (3) - The Velvet Underground & Nico. about 1 year ago
This is a really good mono reissue, I have a 1975 Verve pressing that is mono and this one comes very close.
Get it if you see it in the wild.
Diga Rhythm Band - Diga

Very cool album, if you like groove music with a spiritual vibe, this is an album to get. Lots of interesting percussion sounds, Jerry Garcia makes a guest appearance on here.

Wow, amazing pressing, sounds really good, both records play very quiet and flat pressing. Packaging is A+
I have an original pressing and this one stands on it's own.

This mono set only came out a few weeks ago, why on earth is this out of print and selling for outrageous prices. Not fare, now I will not buy any of these sets.

This is probably one of the best sounding albums released by 4 Men With Beards, that also includes albums by the English group Wire.

It’s excellent, just like the original, deep bass at a 45 speed.

Plays on 45, this is an exact replica of the original, only Swan Lake does not lock in the groove, it just fades out. All the deep bass is there. Great pressing.

Mine didn’t come with a Record Store Day sticker, all the catalog numbers seem to be the same. Label looks exactly the same with Get On Down on label. Black vinyl.

Just want to give a heads up on this great pressing, I had an earlier yellow Atco pressing, this one is from 1980. The sound is so much better, more clearer sounding. Mine has no barcode. Worth adding this one to your collection.
