      Found a sealed copy; flat, super quiet, and centered. Much like other legendary titles from early 4AD, this pressing does not disappoint. The mastering is sublime; never loses an ounce of detail regardless of how much listenable power is applied. Each guitar is easily recognizable, Narcizo's totally genre defining drumming hits the chest, and the step sisters' vocals soar with impressive detail.

      Must own foundational alt rock lp. Agreed w/others...repress 'The Real Ramona' now & get the og Muses back in the zeitgeist.

        Completely lucked out today, found a lovely copy in thrift/charity shop here in Scotland for 5 pounds…there are still dream bargains to be had out there though nowhere near as many as the golden years of digging of course. Just got to get to those more obscure places and wade through the nonsense then something like this appears.

            When is this classic getting a repress??? I’m so hopeful that it will be reissued soon

              Love this album.

              The pressing is excellent, as usual with the original 4AD releases👌

                Like Bobobellsinger, this is very high on my wishlist for a vinyl reissue. It's definitely in my top 5 favorite albums that I don't have on vinyl yet (but don't want to spend $100 to import it from Europe). While I'm dreaming - if you have the rights and reissue it, I would pay extra for a 45 RPM version. Let's manifest this into reality.

                  So many "meh" albums getting RSD releases year after year . . . how is this getting passed over?!?! A lot of early 90s college/indie stuff hasn't aged well, but The Real Ramona still rocks. Guitars and drums alone on Not Too Soon justify a repress.

                    When will this get a repress? it's a classic album of amazing song writing.

                      It's time for a vinyl re-issue of this terrific album! As of Sept. 2021, no vinyl copies are available in North America (via Discogs anyway).

                        What a stunning record this is! And the US pressing is just amazing, such a burst of perfectly clear and punchy sound, you hear every guitar chord, every bass slap, drums are so vivid and vocals blend magnificently....wish nowadays records sounded this good...
