Betty Davis – Betty Davis

This pressing does indeed sound amazing. I don't own original to compare it to, but this is one of the very few instances where I feel I don't need to go hunting. This will suffice, because ... it sounds amazing

Rest in paradise, Queen. (10 words, 10 words, 10 words).

What a great album! My copy has no surface noise whatsoever. Perfect!

There is an ad for Betty’s “They Say I’m Different” LP on the album insert - this pressing must be from 1974 at the earliest, possibly later. Not 1973.

Beautiful package that sounds amazing! Quiet press…funky tunes. What’s not to love.

Just found out about this record/artist, man I gotta say -> WOW.

Hear me out :

Betty Davis = Babe Ruth

Glad I got this vmp album of Betty. Yes very different voice but damn the album is good!

Une merveille proposée dans un magnifique écrin. Il était temps vu la qualité particulièrement honteuse de certains précédents pressages.

One of the most beautiful pieces of vinyl I own. The electric blue, translucent vinyl is aesthetically striking.
The liner notes are nice, they bring interesting information and nice photos. The jacket is extremely high quality, thick cardboard. It would've been perfect if it was a gatefold.
The music is absolutely great if what you are looking for is pure funk with an all star line up and Betty going all in with the vocals. ¿Subtle? No. ¿Varied? Except for the final ballad, hell no. But great, rabid (and yet accesible) funk of the purest breed.
Sound wise, I can't compare this one to other releases, since is the only one I have, but I am more than happy with it. Sticker says they transferred from analog tapes, so purist should be at ease regarding the master. It presents some subtle distortion in mid-highs, specially in inner grooves, but I only hear it with headphones, not over speakers.
Overall, a very nice addition to my collection and highly recommended.

Incredible pressing, beautiful vinyl and cover. Also includes a coloring page, because apparently 9 year olds love funk.
