Just A/B-ed this with 63 Van Gelder and I dare say it holds its own for a sixth of the price. Can't part with my Van Gelder though so rare album I have to hang on to 2 copies of.

Perfect meeting of old era with new era jazz at turn of 60s

Ignore the hipster above. It's also called deadwax and this deadwax reveals that the mighty Kevin Gray cut this version

For all intents and purposes you may as well listen to this on youtube. But on my hifi tube ampey system, it does have a little bit of heft when I crank it. And some of this guitar playing is nuts. The Devil DID NOT get all the good music

Canada often got sent subdubs of master tapes and created unique cuts. In the early Cancon days of the early 70s when much of Canada's domestic releases were moved to domestic pressing plants, Canadians had to create their own stampers which were... Ver crítica completa

Have not heard an original to measure by, but this cut sounds pretty nice. Mine came with a KW which I believe is a masterer's signature so I think it was cut with pride. And the music is great gonzo German psychedelic freak rock. For the true heads

Just cracked open my wife's copy of this. I def know where you're coming from with Plain Recordings. This one seems awright but has no mastering signature. One wonders how this would sound if Kevin Gray got hold of it

I can totally confirm this. I got that French pressing for 10 bux and did a spinout and it was clear immediately. Threw the Rhino in the Sell Box

I have this. It sounds very full with good bottom end. It's a John Golden master and he is pretty much de rigueur for indie rock vinyl

This reissue sounds terrible. Considering it coincided with a series of CD reissues, I would not be surprised if it was cut from a compact disc master

The DC BQS stands for David Cheppa Better Quality Sound. Don't know what sources he used, but he mastered a bunch of late 90s funk reissues like this, some Meters et al., that absolutely throb with bottom end

That is definitely part of it. But the fact that being Canadian it's probably cut in Canada from a dub tape of the master by someone who might not know what they are doing or care is also part of it

The cutting lathe on this is stereo, so no point in flipping on the mono switch. I have a mono switch too, so this might be your issue as my copy of this sounds awesome

This is a GZ Media bootleg that sounds great with thumpy bottom end and crispy definition on the guitars. Possibly the best punk album ever done by punks who actually were in the streets with their lives at risk. That wasn't me
