referencing First Impressions (LP, Album, Stereo) SES-7412
I‘m also Interested in the original Cover. In case someone wants to Sell it.- I've been listening to this album for more than 15 years and I've never heard it so clear and crisp.

Great sound and an excellent cover. Never heard the Original but I would guess this is at least as good probably better. I have some original Strata Est and they don't sound as dynamic as this. Some air and space between instruments and a nice clarity all round.referencing First Impressions (Album, LP, Reissue) SES-7412
Fantastic copy, sounds really good, and everything is balanced. Highly recommended- Edited one year agoI have a sealed original copy of Shamek Farrah 1st impressions to trade for an original copy of Henry Franklin's The Skipper (or maybe for other stuff too) if you are in the Marseille or London areas.

The Pure Pleasure repress sounds great and appears to be all analogue.referencing First Impressions (LP, Album, Stereo) SES-7412
CD prices for this release is absurd. Would a responsible and quality minded label please press up some CD's. Moble Fidelity Labs quality CD, perhaps.referencing First Impressions (LP, Album, Stereo) SES-7412
In case anyone has just the original cover to sell, I am interested.- Edited 6 years agoMarvelous reissue!!! I had no dissapointing issues. Very decent pressing, dead quite and superb sonics, absolutly nothing to complain about! And prices are still moderate!
- Edited 6 years agoWasted opportunity due to poor pressing quality. Seems like Pallas is taking shortcuts now and not allowing records to cool before packaging them in jackets and shrinkwrapping them. Same problem that lower-tier U.S. plants had in the last couple of years. Don't buy this unless the seller can unwrap and inspect the record for you.
Update: I obtained a replacement copy and while not perfect, is a bit better. Still think QC at Pallas is slipping. These records aren't cheap and really should be dead flat like what I expect from Pure Pleasure and Pallas.
