Cranes – Wings Of Joy

Brilliant pressing. I haven't heard the original issue, but I can't imagine how it could be better than this one.

Rega P6 w/ Exact 2 - NAD C399 - KEF R3

Intense manifesto for a degourraging hope in abandoned structures and any emotional spheres... Loud monotonic post-goth, textured deep/dream pop. Lunar until you meet the raging 'Tomorrow' s Tears' and it's fighting kraut aspects. Headache album on which everything is mentioned to get a proper deal with your insights. And probably rarely unequaled.

I went for this over the original for the hidden track 'Sixth Of May'. I'm glad I did, I can second the other users review - this is a really excellent release. One of the best sounding records in my collection. Very much recommend

My copy of the limited DEDLP 003S 12" has the tracks Fuse & Self Non Self on both sides and no Starblood (Remix) on either. I can't find this version on Discogs, any other examples out there? Thanks

I found mine used; in shrink with the 12" in its plain black inner sleeve packaged underneath the shrink wrap behind the LP (not inside the cover as typical), blocking visibility to the LP back cover. Rather odd... so tempted to remove shrink (if I do, I will save hype sticker; as a youngster I didn't, paying for my sins LOL)

I’m real pleased to see this 2019 version as I missed the original vinyl back in the day. I always thought that this recording and population four were superior works. It sounds great and the variety of instruments come through really well. The bass is really punchy and sounds great. The packaging is high quality and the overall product is great. I highly recommend this version.

Initial Copies bought from 'The Chain With No Name' record stores in the UK also came in a 'Cranes Wings of Joy' plastic carrier bag. Mine is still in it.

This is the copy I own but is it really a UK release? It says "Made in Germany" on both the back cover and the label.
