Black Pumas – Black Pumas

Sounds fantastic and the price is even better!

Words words words

After MANY pressings of this release, this pressing I have here (KR) is dead quiet, flat, centered, & actually sounds like it was mastered to vinyl. Presents a very detailed soundstage, well balanced instrumentation..."everything in its place" so to speak. The dead wax is a $&!+*@ to read, but this is a CZ from optimal and it shows in this case (no hype on my shrink?). Must own pressing.

If anyone would be willing to part with the OCT33/Stay Gold single could they hit me up? Thanks!

Not as bad as reviews below claim... It's not flat but it's not warped. Sounds very good on my setup.

Sounds and looks amazing - unique design and got it only for ten bucks!!

Beautiful to look at and hear. This is a great record that you can’t go wrong with. The content and presentation is all there, and it’s definitely a solid buy.

Awesome pressing! Clean and detailed.
A joy to listen. Package Very complete

Great Album, poor pressing. Took me 3 times to finally get a decent pressing that didnt have constant surface noise out of one of the channels. Like loud surface noise too. In addition, all the ones I received had heavy to moderate warping.

After multiple ultrasonic cleanings, I just can't get it quiet...it's the pressing. It sounds like a very good mastering in there at times, but this copy is not consistent sonically (surface noise and gets muddy at bottom end and tinny at top end) and arrived dished.

Going to try the optimal pressing and see if it's better.

I don't own this release but I suspect the clear sleeve this comes in is PVC, which outgasses and ruins records. Best put it in a poly sleeve.
