Sugar Ray (2) – 14:59

Did a comparison to the CD. It's not too drastically different to the dynamics of the CD, but it's a slight improvement. I'm not really expecting too much dynamic range out of a 1999 pop rock album such as this anyways.

I'd say it sounds good, and I didn't notice any obvious sibilance on the inner grooves either, so that's really good too, but it definitely shouldn't be expected to be audiophile level pressing or anything. Also, as some previous commenters copies are, mine does have a bit of a warp, but it doesn't effect the sound or anything thankfully. Packaging is also really nice.

The record itself is a really cool color and it sounds very good overall to my ear - but unfortunately mine has a few big skips on track A4. Not loud, but just skips/jumps a few seconds forward. Still worth owning IMO!

Sound quality is great. Kind of shocked to be honest, with mastering's at the time being directed toward CD releases, many LP translations suffered. This record did not.

Yes the spindle hole is too small and yes it is pretty warped as well but it plays and sounds wonderful. I cleaned it up a bit before playing and didn't hear any surface noise/pops or clicks. Can't beat this for $14.99...

My copy had the small spindle hole, which i fixed with a few knife rotations. The sound overall is pretty good. There were loud pops here and there on my copy, mostly on 'Live and Direct'. Quiet in between tracks. The record must have been cut fairly hot, because there are sibilance issues here and there, most notably on 'Ode'. My other records have hardly any issues on my Pro-Ject Debut Carbon. My copy came with a warp, which looked bad but doesn't affect play. Overall, given the price I paid, I am happy with it, since i didn't have a vinyl copy.

I got a misprint, record spindle hole entirely to small. Nice RSD.

Can anyone comment on the sound quality of this release? I have a 1999 og pressing and wondering if this would be worth it. Thanks!
