The Cure – Faith

Technically a reissue, I’m willing to bet it’s the same plates as the original pressing. A full and vibrant sound, great bass. The band with some of their best work. Grab it if you see it!

My copy has a gold foil stamped star on the back cover, with no text inside it. Is that this release?? And is it rare? Have seen one other pic on the web, but can’t find much info about it.

I do not have experienced any issues with this pressing. Bass sounds really loud and I can hear clear vocals from Robert Smith. (I found this record at a local shop in Antwerp).

Setup:
Turntable: Audio Technica AT-LP60XBT
Speaker: Sonos Play 1 (1st gen)
Netwerk Audio Streamer: Sonos Port

This pressing sounds great - deep bass, brilliant stereo separation and just silence between the songs. Very clear mastering. Even on my copy, that has been played often over the years.

Not sure I own an album that has better sounding bass than this one. It may not contain any of their big hits but it's a fabulous album and certainly a top 5 Cure album.

Not much needs to be said about this album. It’s a great album with a dark, melancholic mood. Despite the minimalist arrangement, it sounds warm and full of emotion. This pressing is incredibly good. The sound is very warm with powerful bass, great dynamics, and a beautiful stereo image. An absolute must-buy recommendation.

this album is coooold, in case the album cover didn't give that away. custom labels and a nice gatefold kinda makes this the definitive used pressing to get! pressing sounds incredibly spacious, fits the album very well indeed.

As far as remasters go, this is very decent effort👍👍
There's hardly any detectable etchiness or compression to ruin the
musical experience when playing this one at realistic volume levels (90 - 105dB)

My copy sounds pretty darn good! No complaints from me.

Pressing quality leaves much to be desired. Pops and crackles throughout and scuffs from those awful printed inner sleeves. Typical bad GZ quality. Mastering is fine.
