- Agree with Inthesticks, sounds fantastic. The only reference I have is the DVD from 2007(?) with 24bit PCM digital transfer. This definitely trumps that copy.
- Edited 5 months agoFantastic pressing! Sibilance is present, but if you have a legitimate setup, just adjust the treble and/or use an equalizer. Played on my silver vintage pioneer gear and it sounds phenomenal.
- A great sounding DM record even though it's probably digitally manipulated, the sound is crystal clear and you can't feel it! The dynamics are more than good, and the vinyl sounds equally good on a turntable made today and a turntable from the late 80's! Well done! I like it very much!

Very nice pressing with rich soundstage. Sound quality of course may vary depending on how careful the previous owner was. Here you have a free sample from mine: https://youtu.be/2IcIs9_fdCY?si=P8zUX_2ioXWVpcY0referencing Some Great Reward (LP, Album, Stereo) STUMM 19
Here we have a beautiful album by Depeche Mode and sounds great. The sound is fresh and crispy.- Sound quality is really great on this. Clean, clear, with punchy bass, and not a hint of compression. Thought about going after an original (1984) but went with this one instead as they’ve really done a nice job cleaning up the sibilance, which had notoriously been bad on Blasphemous Rumours especially.
- Edited one year agoThis pressing sounds Absolutely Phenomenal! Deep bass, mids and highs Perfect, with a wide sound stage. Quiet vinyl especially for being colored. I was lucky enough to come across a near mint copy and I’m so happy with it. This was a grail of mine for a long time. They seem to reissue all DM’s albums Except this one. If you find one of these, Buy It! You will not be disappointed

My CD looks exactly as the CD-picture for this release. I guess it's a form of disc rot. Also the CD is very transparent if held against a light source.
