Paul Weller ‎– Stanley Road

I have a few M and NM copies of this original pressing.
As others have mentioned, sadly, I dont think it was mastered or pressed well on Vinyl.
Very compressed, flat and muddy.
Did anyone find a copy with sparkle?
Packaging however was brilliant!
I haven't heard the new repress. It might be the way to go...and certainly cheaper!

I think this pressing is equal to an original, sounds like the levels were boosted ever so slightly. Sounds good in my book, but nothing audiophile level.

Bought this new and still enjoy listening to it now after 25 years !
Brilliant songs and musician ship - well recorded too.

Top job Paul and the crew

What a disappointment, my copy is very bad, hearing the song Broken Stones on the headphones, an incredible rustling !!

I haven't heard the new pressing but I own the 1995 pressing. It's a very poor vinyl pressing. Too quiet, almost muffled and sounds like it was mastered from a digital source with some distortion added after the fact. My cd copy sounds much better (and I'm generally a vinyl fan). But sadly that's the case with most vinyl pressed after 1990 and likely before that. They did a better mastering job with some of the later Weller LPs.

A decent pressing of a highly sought after album. Sellers with astronomic asking prices are furious but that's life :) Anyway, this is a good pressing but I find it less impressive, unlike the other comments here. You have to dial the volume higher than usual to get the joy out of the album. It's probably mastered & pressed from a digital source bc sound is compressed and not lively at all.

This album is currently available on amazon as a Jan 2017 pre-order.. snapped mine up already -

Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year is Stanley Road, one of the best albums Weller has ever made. Each song on this album is brilliant, some of which are amongst my favourite songs. From the classic unmistakable opening riffs of The Changingman to the sheer beauty of ending track Wings Of Speed, this album is sublime.
This deluxe edition (released to celebrate the album's 10th anniversary) brings a whole array of B-Sides and demos, which are a great listen and a DVD featuring a documentary and promo videos, as well as a booklet full of photos and a track by track interview with Weller, all packaged in a sturdy digipak with Deluxe Edition's signature outer slipcase. For collectors and casual listeners alike, this is a must have.
This album and all of its songs are truly amazing and inspiring, so much so for me to use it as inspiration for my username ;)
