As usual with these official "fish people" reissues, the sound is almost perfect and the color of the LP gorgeous !!
No pops or cracks and a very clear clean sound during the entire listen.
The smokey grey disc is very elegant and beautiful. I can't recommended it enough, superb way to discover Kate Bush's musical legacy !!- Edited 4 months agoReviewing every record in my collection;
Overall, a really nice pressing! I've owned the original non-profit variant of this pressing and the differences are evident: better printing quality on sleeve, Sharp edges and of course the white promo stamp. I wish I had a pressing from another country to compare it with, but sadly I don't. I can't truly judge it since it has a bit of background noise, especially near the endings, maybe I'll take it to a place for it to be ultra sonically cleaned.
Also, how sad this is not a gatefold, really don't understand why they didn't do it - In general it would sound good but there is tons of non-fill and long-lasting scratches which destroys any listening fun
- Grabbed the record because of Babooshka from a local record store - definitely did not expect this to be such a gem.
The pressing is fantastic too. I enjoyed every second of this. referencing Never For Ever (LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Gatefold, 180g, Blade Bullet) 5057998201013
Another wonderful Record Industry job making these KB reissues even more spectacular. This is my 4th one of the coloured variants and im 4 for 4. They all play silent and nigh flat. They can seem abit steep but i managed 20% off by waiting for an Ebay code and they cost me £30 each which is fine by me given how high quality the whole packagings are.referencing Never For Ever (LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Gatefold, 180g, Blade Bullet) 5057998201013
Another excellent, flawless pressing. I wasn’t happy with the high price of most titles in this series of reissues but am starting to change my mind. They are actually living up to Bush’s claims that they are “the definitive versions” and when they’re this good when so many other highly priced titles are full of crackle that can’t be cleaned away, I guess I’m happy to pay the price.referencing Never For Ever (LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Gatefold, 180g, Blade Bullet) 5057998201013
Very bad press. Clicks all over the lp. It's impossible to listen to this. I ordered it twice. This publication is poorly printed and very noisy.- Hi,
Does anyone know if the Fish People Ecopak edition of Never For Ever has the same audio problem on Violin that the 2018 remaster?
Thanks in advance referencing Never For Ever (LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Gatefold, 180g, Blade Bullet) 5057998201013
Amazing pressing. Such good quality in the packaging and anti-static inner sleeve. The record sounds phenomenal. The OBI strip reminds me of the OBI strip on the Japanese pressing. Adds such a nice touch.
