My copy sounds phenomenal. Super crisp and dynamic. Great pressing.referencing Ill Communication (2×LP, Album, Remastered, Reissue, 180 gram, Gatefold) 509996 94232 15
This is a fantastic pressing for a fantastic album. My copy plays fine and has none of the defects that have been mentioned here. It's best played loud. Like all of the Beasties stuff, this one's a mood setter, for sure.- Edited 4 months ago
referencing Ill Communication (2×LP, Album, Remastered, Reissue, 180 gram, Gatefold) 509996 94232 15
For me, this is Beastie Boys best album. Yes, the earlier stuff is great - but the hooks on this album is what made Beastie Boys superstars. This was their fourth album, they're breakthrough to the mainstream - but this still sounds as raw and fresh as anything they released before. Funky as hell - the boys didn't compromise for anyone. A must own - in any decent collection. This pressing is dope. referencing Ill Communication (2×LP, Album, Limited Edition, Transparent Green, Gatefold Sleeve) GR006
ok so there ARE Grand Royal only (not capitol) on regular black vinyl?referencing Ill Communication (2×LP, Album, Remastered, Reissue, 180 gram, Gatefold) 509996 94232 15
Sounds pretty good! Definitely one of the best by them!referencing Ill Communication (LP, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Repress, Gatefold, 180) 509996 94232 15
Appears to be black vinyl repress using same molds as the recent grey marble reissue.referencing Ill Communication (2×LP, Album, Remastered, Reissue, 180 gram, Gatefold) 509996 94232 15
sounds awesome, but lol at the unreadable labels. i wonder if anyone looked at those before they went out.- Edited one year ago
referencing Ill Communication (2×LP, Album, Remastered, Reissue, STERLING cut, 180 gram, Gatefold) 509996 94232 15
the sterling cut is the best i have heard this album sound,, worth the money, i wonder why its not available on discogs? with that being said this is a great album, brings back wonderful meomories of the 90s, my 2 favorite songs on this record are Ricky's theme and Get it together,,, referencing Ill Communication (2×LP, Album, Remastered, Reissue, 180 gram, Gatefold) 509996 94232 15
Hmmmm. Dunno if I got a bad pressing. But this has a lot of sibilance. Especially on Get It Together. Kinda disappointed but the pressing itself is immaculate.
