Jessie Ware – What's Your Pleasure?

Fantastic pressing, which kinda surprised me given that it's a 53 minute album on just one LP. No surface noise, and the album itself is incredible - probably my favorite disco album of all time.

Giving this a proper listen after some time and though I'm happy to have it in my collection my copy is really messy. Side 1 is virtually perfect; side 2 is the only one that suffers from significant background noise. There's basically crackling all through the tracks; the nature of the music makes it so that it's not unbearable, thankfully. Coincidentally, my side 2 label has weird bubbles, as if it wasn't dry when applied. Sonically my second disc is really solid, and the mastering is overall really clean, but it has literally the most severe warping I've ever encountered and side 4 makes the arm bounce like crazy, I don't even know how it can even play without skipping. I'm gonna try and see if I can flatten it but yeah, probably not the best release, quality control wise...

The mastering of this is still excellent and does sound good with no cracks, pops or static for me, but does anyone else think it's been pressed WAY quieter than the releases for the standard album? When playing my white copy I don't need to put my monitor's volume up anywhere near as high as I do for this one, it's just so noticeable. I bought this mainly for the deluxe tracks though so it's not a deal breaker for me, just something to consider if you only plan on owning one copy of this album - the original might be the way to go.

This cassette is my pleasure, it's such an incredible album and sounds insanely good on cassette. The outer sleeve is metalic and the inner cover is the standard album one which I love. 10/10 cassette to own.

This cassette tape sounds absolutely amazing. Beautiful, clear and rich sound with perfectly balanced lows and highs, no distortion and minimal tape hiss. This is how all pre-recorded tapes should sound nowadays. It sounds as good as the vinyl.

My copy is phenomenal. Not a single complaint on the sound.

My copy is overall OK except for noticeable surface damages which cause constant crackle noise. Additionally, as a not-review, recording company PMR records is NOT OK. I contacted them to discuss the damages (for possible replacements), and never replied even though they upload posts regularly. NOT GOOD.

My copy is amazing. Love this. Bought in Australia. Never played a record that feels like it’s made from pure crack - the entire album is amazing.

Best album of 2020, and perhaps the best pop album i've heard in 30 years easily.

One thing though, the vinyl releases sound a bit squashed and cut at a low volume due to the sides being too long.

This album would really benefit from the double-disc 45RPM treatment IMO.

Never played a record before that feels like it is practically made from cocaine.
