- Edited 13 days agoThe mastering of this press really gives the feel of a true live record. Genuinely sounding as if this was the highest quality live recording we have of the band, just missing the audience. Which was what I believe they were going for during the recording and production process. Very proper.
referencing Fun House (LP, Album, Reissue) ELK 42 055
Have listened to a few versions but this has an amazing sound! Bit bass’y but complete soundscape otherwise.- This pressing is a bit lifeless if I'm to be honest. There is a lot of bass which is good, but the rest of it sounds a bit buried. For such high energy music, I felt the mix was left wanting. It's not terrible by any means, it just doesn't make me wanna get up and shake. I much prefer Highlights From The Fun House Sessions, released by Run Out Groove a few years ago.
- I've had this box for a few years now and have listened a bunch to the demos and outtakes just waiting for the right time to break out the main lp. I just did today. WOW! The 45rpm of Fun House is out of this world. The guitars, drums, and vocals are bursting out of the speakers. I haven't heard many people talk about this pressing, but it is as good as I've heard. I have a few reissues, but can't speak to the original. I wonder how many people have heard this version. I would assume if more people heard this album cut, there would be more hype. It's out of this world good if you love this album.
- Flat, clean and quiet vinyl - lead guitar seemed to have a life of its own ! This is the first time I've owned the album on vinyl, but at AU $32 I couldn't say no. Great studio photo the band in the gatefold. Paper inner sleeve. I think the whole package is great. Nothing got in the way between the speakers and the music for me - that's the greatest compliment I can give.
- I do not share the same feeling about this pressing, I compare to The Stooges - Fun House which is so much warmer than this one.
I made a video about it here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPD5Ixp2Deo&t=31s - I compare (in french) this release to ERC release The Stooges - Fun House and french repress The Stooges - Fun House here :

- Just curious to understand how this can sound better than an Artisan Stamped US original made from much fresher tapes...
