Show All 33 Reviews- Got this album a few years ago. B side of my copy was pressed off set and the tone arm sways significantly from side to side. Play back is ok but tough to select any song after the first b side track as it may not catch the starting groove, and will put you a few seconds into the song.
- Great pressing. Very quiet hardly any surface noise or crackling. And the bass is really thumping. Very impressed with it.
- I listened to this press for the 1st time in 7 years & remembered why it has been so long. People here complain about the absence of a lyric sheet...Oh, my gosh, I need to complain about the absence of life & bottom end. DO NOT BUY this reissue. It sucks so aggressively. It is bright, it is brick walled, it is 1 dimensional, is lacks any musicality & liveliness.
It is flat & centered & quiet which seems to be how folks judge vinyl. If those are your only desires, sure, this $h!t is for you.
(Rega RP6 with Ortofon black cart through McIntosh MA5200 amp & Axiom M60 v2 speakers.) - I didn’t find anything weak about this pressing. Great instrument separation, punchy, no surface noise, flat… what am I missing? Solid all around.
referencing Mothers Milk (Cassette, Album) E4-92152
There is just something about this album on cassette tape. It sounds so damn good if you’re playing through a decent stereo tape deck. Punchy as fuck!- Just picked this one up! Sounds great. Does anyone know the difference in the quality vs the pressing with the Capital Limited Edition Gold Sticker? Also, what is the best sounding pressing?? Please share if you know Discogs community!!!
- Are the people who "remastered" this deaf? Seriously, they need to go and see an ear doctor. Or maybe someone should have turned their hearing aids on. One the loudest, ugliest masters I have ever heard. Makes the original CD sound audiophile in comparison. Avoid. (Unless your hearing aid batteries are flat)
- sounds awesome , nice flat quiet vinyl
paid £13 new , cant grumble .
just wish it was as easy to get californication and stadium arcadium in this condition at a reasonable price
