- My copy was quite warped right out of the sleeve. I'm going to leave it lightly pressed in the shelf for a while before trying to play.
referencing Pastel Blues (LP, Album, Reissue) MOVLP543
The mastering / sound is just stunning here. You never fo wrong with MOV,- This is an incredible album on an equally incredible pressing and very nice gatefold jacket. Just get it.
- It's a spectacular record. Can't really add more to what others have said other than that I concur. It's a stunner, and Nina's Pastel Blues has never sounded better.
If you disagree, point me toward that release, please. :) - Will agree with what most others have written about this record. It is a gorgeous pressing from start to finish, but is worth the price for Sinnerman alone. An excellent release.
- Edited 10 months agoThis record sounds phenomenal. Her voice is crisp. Listening to “Sinnerman” now - vocals are powerful; piano fills jump at you; cymbal run is crisp, clear, channeled well. Acoustic Sounds kills another one (I’ve got the two Mingus releases, which both sound amazing, as well.) Got it on sale at the Newbury Street location of Newbury Comics in Boston.
- Edited 12 months agoIt’s just a honey for the ears and soul. The sound is flawless - crystal clear, super detailed, deep and dynamic.
Absolutely silent surface, thick gatefold cardboard, safe antistatic sleeve for the plate.
Quite expensive, but totally worth it. - Very impressive pressing. One of the best sounding records I own. The sound is open, freely breathing, with no fatiguing elements. Pressing is flawless.
- I've heard many great things about this pressing, and it sure doesn't disappoint. Quiet as hell, extremely dynamic, stunning vocals, this release is the best this album has ever sounded. A treat for the ears
