Sounds terrible! Like you're listening to it over a really bad intercom or something. How did they mess this up so badly? My old original sounds like a mobile fidelity lab release compared to this one. Jeez.referencing Journeys To Glory (LP, Album, Stereo) 203 428
This is an great 80s pop album by Spandau Ballet. Recording, production and pressing are really good and this German pressing sounds great too.referencing Journeys To Glory (LP, Album) WWS-81420
Great pressing but the US is better, better, better bass.referencing Journeys To Glory (LP, Album) FV 41331
Just did an a/b test with a Japanese pressing and although it also sounds very good this one is just much better. The bass in cut a long story short is just phenomenal.- No copies of this version available but mysteriously people selling the lp and 12" separately. How do I know this? The free 12" has the words Reformation at the top to indicate it came with that lp.
- this remastering work is absolutely pathetic a remastering done in the most absolute terrible way completely dry sound really poor quality very disappointing very disappointing you can't do a sound restoration job in this way also because those who pay rightly demand the right sound quality this is one of the worst remasters ever made shameful absolutely not recommended for the sound quality !!!!!!!!!!!

First LP from the mythical British band that proved that electronic and pop-rock can merge very well. This record sounds still fresh and really pleasant. It’s admirable how well all Spandau Ballet’s vinyls reproduce on the turntable. Drums are remarkable and Tony’s voice gives the mix that glamour that set the difference between them and other bands.referencing Journeys To Glory (LP, Album) FV 41331
I have this pressing but with Chris Bellman's initials after "MASTERED AT ALLEN ZENTZ LA. CALIF." Also, " CHR-1331-AS-RE-1" have been etched out on side one. This may be a 1983 pressing. Inner sleeve is clear plastic with the Chrysalis logo along with their butterfly above the C.referencing Journeys To Glory (LP, Album) CHR 1331
In my opinion, for the best (digital) listening experience of this album, go for the CP32-5071 "Black Triangle" edition if you can get a copy. It knocks spots off every other CD, including the grey top CCD1331 issue disc. Mastering preference is a very personal thing of couse!referencing Journeys To Glory (CD, Album, Reissue) CCD 1331
This CD has more detailed top-end than the later EMI Gold CD and Disky CD versions.
