Recommendations
Reviews
- This 1973 pressing is a delightful listening experience. Beautiful, natural sound and a great low end & soundstage.
- Very direct sound as it should be from mono. It’s silent and completely flat and comes in a poly sleeve. This Is a true fans pressing to get without breaking the bank.
- These early reissues sound very good. This is no exception. A nice clean copy is well worth a listen and in IMO better than the 20 something, more recent remasters. Compares well to the 1st press.
Very full sounding, great highs and lows, lovely soundstage and stereo. - I've got one copy of Takt Music - 1033, cassette to sell. If you are interested, mail me: [email protected]
- I´ve updated the propper Blue-ish / Violet-ish covers, the right venezuelan covers. I´ve updated the EMI cream labels, as well.
- Edited 4 months agoI had ordered a DMM pressing from the 80s via eBay and got this edition here.
Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised by the sound of this French pressing. After I had washed the vinyl, it sounded excellent.
The sound here is very open. The timbres are very “airy”, which is very beneficial to these experimental recordings. I feel like I hear nuances – especially on the title track – that I hadn’t noticed before (compared to the 2011 CD remaster, which is also recommended).
Anyway, I hope that the seller will send the DMM pressing later. - Holy cow! This is incredible. Pathe Marconi really knew how to press a record back in the day. Best value for money pressing out there surely. Very dynamic and powerful presentation.
- A very nice pressing. Really quiet vinyl that allows the sound to flow. Great soundstage and dynamic width. I agree, well worth grabbing a copy.
UK first is better, yet this pretty close. - All these releases from 2016 are superb. Sound is very nice and although taken from hi res files- they still sound better than the hi res file itself. IMO.
