Cocteau Twins ‎– Heaven Or Las Vegas

Yikes. Perhaps the worst reissue I have ever purchased.
Dreadful. You would be better off throwing your money in the trash. At least that way you wouldn’t feel like you got ripped off. I find it astounding that the label or the band would allow their work to be sold like this. Will look for an original.

Not as bad as the reviews here. It does not sound as good as proper digital files, but it's fine

Many people cite this as their favourite CT album. I'd put Treasure, Victorialand, Four Calendar Cafe and maybe even Milk And Kisses ahead of it. The two former albums are of course delightfully saturated goth/post-punk and the two latter improve upon it with lush dreampop and gorgeous chord sequences.
Blue Bell Knoll and this one occupied a slight dip in quality to me.

Such a legendary album needs a proper remaster. Shame on you, 4AD!

It sounds fine. Got mine for 3 dollars when using a gift card. Whatever, really it sounds good enough for me.

Oh, dear. I accidentally bought this off eBay. It was originally listed as a 1990 original copy in NM condition.
To my horror, when it arrived, I instantly realised it was the 2014 RE, RM version.
Fortunately, I do have an original copy already (which I was replacing this with before realising it wasn't an original).
Unfortunately, I have to agree with the other comments that this 2014 version is a pale shadow of the original.
It sounds muffled, slightly distorted at times and far too tinny on certain tracks, especially - like others have mentioned - on Iceblink Luck and the title track Heaven or Las Vegas.
It's by no means terrible. It doesn't have pops or clicks, it just sounds extremely inferior to the original pressing. If you're a first-time listener to this album and have no idea what the vinyl DID sound like in 1990 then I guess you may be happy with this version.
I'm very glad I now have a copy of both so that I can correctly compare them in sound quality, even though I'm pissed off that I was ripped-off on eBay by the seller blatantly lying about this copy being an original pressing.
However, I am keeping this 2014 version, if only to remind me what (comparatively speaking) a major fuck-up some Remasters can be. What were they thinking?
Happy listening.

Yup, I agree with everyone else re: this pressing. So unfortunate as it's one of my favorite's of theirs

My copy without B-Label.

Definitely up there as the most pop orientated album by the Cocteau Twins, even more so than Four Calendar Cafe. It endures as a faithful album which gets better with time and much more listenable than other albums to the new fan’s ears. Pure bliss.
