Vampire Weekend – Vampire Weekend

No issues with my particular copy. I think it sounds pretty good. The keys sound a bit more present in the mix, had the CD for years. Don't remember them being as vibrant. It's a good mix and a great sounding album.

Great pressing, plays through well, the highs don't sound scratchy, the lows don't sound muddy, although mine didn't come with a download code.

Has anyone in the UK bought a decent pressing of this recently (without clicks/pops) and if so, where from? Tried a couple copies from Rough Trade and it was like sitting next to a camp fire with all the surface noise.

I personally really like this pressing. The bass is a little rolled off, but for the style/genre it doesn't really hurt. Excellent mastering of the instruments, tons of detail and separation. This album is a real treat to listen to imo. I feel like the mastering in the vocals for side A kinda put them behind the band but side B sounds fantastic.

Clean, flat pressing, no complaints. Amazing pop songs from a bunch of college kids.

Very good pressing, flat and quiet, no defects on mine. That being said, in terms of clarity, the soundstage, it's just slightly better than streaming

Wow. Such a bad pressing. Crackling throughout the whole record even after a thoroughly us-cleaning. Compared to Spotifiy it sounds dull. Such a shame, because I love the music.

The record I got in exchange was a bit better. Side A was okay with some crackling. Side B had a lot of crackling. Again dull. I will send it back again and will wait for better pressings in the future.

The Matrix / Runout on Side B is slightly different. 1 instead of 4 at the End.

(Side B etched runouts): L-17122M-B XLLP-318-B WG/NRP (ⓤ scratched out) B719464-01 B1

This is a good pressing, quiet, and very neutral. It is fun to own as a 1st US pressing, but I agree with others that it is not mastered or transferred well. Does not really light up sonically.

The sound is good. I never heard the so-called terrible pressings of this album but this one is good, punchy drums and bass, nice mids and highs. Not a huge soundstage but it’s fine, sounds way better than digital version I played through the exact same speakers. I’m happy with it. Got it for $24 bucks on A-to-Z

anyone else have one with a runoff that says "XLLP 318" and "J Powell" on both sides and nothing else? I think J Powell is Jeff Powell of Take Out Vinyl, but I cant find any information on this release. Let me know
