Bananarama – Bananarama

Great remaster, sounds like a high dynamic range edition. The extended version songs are my favorites. These girls are simply irresistible.

Sounds fantastic - clear and detailed, with solid bass. Artwork is glossy, detailed and heavy-duty. Sound quality is better than the recent coloured vinyl RM RE editions, which are missing a lot of fine detail. This is your go-to pressing.

My copy is nice and flat, sounds good. Vinyl very quiet throughout.

Nothing more than a money-grabbing release. Low resolution artwork, poor mastering / pressing. Pretty looking things don’t always mean they have substance. Save you money and buy an original Japan copy.

I bought this LP in 1985. It wasn't until I got the Edsel collector's edition that I learned "Wild Life" was not originally on the album. For more than 20 years, I've listened to my LP version of this album, where side 2 begins with "Wild Life," which was my favorite song on the album; I can't imagine listening to this album without it. My version is listed here as 820 165-1 R-1, 820 165 1R1, LP/Album/Club. I guess "club" means record club like Columbia House because I almost certainly bought it there.

Regrettably the quality of all the videos has been deliberately deteriorated into blatant NTSC system instead of PAL. If they did their best to keep the highest possible quality, we would enjoy 720×576 pixels (PAL) and not the shoddy 720×480 (NTSC). But there is even worse. Bearing in mind the black vertical bars the effective resolution is 600×480 pixels. Shame! Apparently Edsel (and unfortunately not only they) turned out to be sycophants once again. Why the hell they disdain the European customers by spoiling the quality?! If Americans really insist on the worse quality for them, let they do it on their account. Hands off the PAL quality! Their DVD equipment cannot play PAL whereas European can manage both PAL and NTSC. And that ought to be their issue only! I am very disappointed because of such attitude and it is next to impossible to believe that we will ever see the unspoiled videos (in PAL) by NTSC application. Lost forever, I am afraid! There is proof though that not every record company disregards the quality matters. Even in the year 2015 PWL Records released first four albums by Kylie Minogue supplemented with digital versatile discs of PAL resolution. Well done! Keep it up! There is no excuse. Take the example form them! It is not an insurmountable task.
