Neu! – Neu!

Looking for this vinyl without the sleeve, if anyone is selling please hit me up!

This is exactly the same pressing as this one: https://www.discogs.com/release/10457452-Neu-Neu
Except for the Japanese sticker on front. Runout etc are identical.

I compared an OG with this reissue. What a difference. Especially the drums sound of the reissue is muffeld and can‘t breath. The OG has space and the drums sound clear and vibrate. It makes so much more fun to listen to the album I was surprised. In my opinion the mastering is really bad compared to the OG.

My copy has a few pops and clicks and that's after a good cleaning . Most notably throughout track 2 , side 1. There are a couple of black streaks through the white , running across the grain of the grooves which seem to coincide with the repetitive clicks. Aside from this flaw, the rest sounds great !

You’ve not heard this record - yet another victim of the loudness wars - until you hear a well-mastered version. I’m familiar with the CD and Tidal - this pressing is in a different league completely. It’s easy on the ears, all the instruments and “vocals” have space, and the details and nuances of the production are present. All wrapping up with a loop.

Debut Project III / OM10 / Mani / Musical Fidelity A3.5 / Dynaudio 1.3SE

Great pressing ! Perfectly flat, quiet with great sound stage

Terrible sound. Pops and crackle all over the place. A gimmick. Avoid.

Agree with other posters (on the positive). Dead quiet and good dynamics. A keeper.

Bootleg quality reissue really. Don't pay more than £10 per copy.

Unfortunately these are very muffled sounding, almost lofi. Extremely disappointing for a $20 tape.
