Rolling Stones* – Hackney Diamonds

The purple transparent is beautiful and plays perfectly. It is quiet with no surface noise, flat, and sounds great! I gave this a few listens for it to grow on me. Mick's vocals are better than ever, considering he is now in his 80's. As for the songs, there is enough goodness here for most Stones fans to dig into.

Maybe I got unlucky here but my copy is very noisy - cracks and pops - have given it a real good clean but not a great deal of improvement unfortunately.

For the album - it’s ok …. I don’t think it’s outstanding but does its job. Do agree with a poster here that the production is quite slick. Not a real fan of Andrew Watts production…. That’s just my opinion but respect others who like it.

A 7/10 from me.

I got a made in GZ black vinyl , and it's warped like a 8, circle shaped scratched on both sides. probably from handling in the factory. last tracks on both sites have constant surface noise. overall it would be a 3/5 for the vinyl quality but at this price I will be returning it for a Refund.

im done with modern LP issues that are not from audiophile jazz labels. especially stuff made from the GZ plant in Europe and that other one in the Netherlands.

Can it be recorded again?

Analog, and it is not much more expensive, better than digital.

I got a copie with on the two sides the same songs...the A-side. Sounds great and plays marvellous but two times the same music. :-)

I bought a crystal vinyl "Hackney Diamons" and got one with two identical sides. Twice the A-side. Both label and pressing

A nice have. . . . . . . . . . .

42 people on Discogs have the Pirates MLB cover of the album, and I think that's about all they released. Tough to find at a reasonable price. Anyway, the white baseball pressing sounds great!

This picture disc sounds incredible! words words words words words

Lunarr's comment below about "what the actual MUSIC sounds like?" I find interesting. I realized that for new music from such a famous artist, we should be talking about the music. Most reviews or comments on discogs are related to the quality impressing of the vinyl. That is because most the vinyl that I at least look at, the music is at least 30 or 40 years old and sometimes 60 years old. Stuff like re-issues of Miles Davis or the eagles. We know the music so most people want to know the quality of the pressing. But something like this one is totally different. What is the music like?
