To my ears, this pressing has a lot of the low end that the more recent reissues seem to lack.

This club pressing sounds fantastic! Puts the MoFi version to shame, which makes sense, cuz the original tapes had been lost and then found in a watehouse in LA. Or so I’ve heard...

Agree that it is a bass shy mastering, but it is very bright and enjoyable to the ear, as expected from mo fi.

Great release. Heavy LP, thick sleeves & dead quiet record.
This pressing sounds amazing to me even though Pixies have never been a 'hi-fi' band in the 1st place.

I have a copy of this album and the "Special Limited Edition" section number is blank. Is this album supposed to be numbered?

Found this remaster to be a bit bright & bass shy. According to a convo w/ MOFI, they stated the condition/degridation of the orig master tape was responsible and trying to recover the missing frequencies via EQ would have affected other areas of the record. Oh well.. :(

This isn't my favorite Pixies record, but there are some good tunes on here! I like "Velouria" and "The Happening" the best, probably. Probably not the best place to start if you're just getting into the band, but it's worth getting to eventually.

I have the 2008 4AD vinyl pressing. The record is obviously good quality; it weighs a ton! (Something like 180 grams, I would guess) Everything sounded good, quite crisp and clear. Every once in a while it sounds like the vocals are being drowned out, but I think that's how the songs were produced and doesn't have anything to do with the pressing quality. The sleeve is nice and solid, and as a bonus, the printed inner sleeve is heavyweight and great quality.
