- This pressing continues to blow me away. It’s my first and still favorite Cure album. The pressing is detailed, full and dead silent. Great sound stage as well. If I had to be picky some of the highs get a little lost in the background but that also seems to be how the Cure records. I’ve got this humming thru some B&W speakers driven by a nice MC cart and it does not disappoint. I pull sounds out I never knew existed. Do not sleep on this pressing. It does not disappoint.
- Loved the album. Sound reproduction is organic despite being made into a digital album. This sounds good. Wonder how is this compared to the first pressing.
- Sounds incredible for a 39 year old pressing. Great separation of instruments. Very little noise, just the occasional crackle but not very noticable. Classic album, timeless. Amazing how better this sounds than streaming it like I have over the years
- Edited 5 months agoThis seems like the version I have. It has the same “Made In Czech Republic” sticker format. The 2016 European back copy picture has a bigger sticker. I don’t know if they are the same honestly. I have the same runouts for side A. But side B on my copy ends with an “O” and not an “L”.
In any case a few pops here and there but nothing super distracting. Barely any surface noise that I can hear. Overall good sounding copy. 80’s mastering as expected which sounds really good for this record. Very clear and punchy record. Nothing crazy special but nothing inherently bad. Decent pressing overall. Happy with it.

referencing The Head On The Door (LP, Album) 827 231-1ME
This is really good. Although 2016 remastered also sounds good but the low-range is really strange.
German pressing sounds widely and more open than remastered. And definitely not sounding like a bunch of compressed MP3 or brickwalled CD as 2016 pressing imo. - Edited 5 months agoSounds so good! Immaculate! Can't imagine it sounding better.
Due to an early run misprint--no 'vap' logo on the front cover--it would also mean, I'm assuming, an early run in the vinyl stamp cycle. - I Have a sealed Rarities disc 2 still sealed with its security tag unbroked. Does anybody out there know what it is worth ?
