Edited 8 days agoNo idea how this compares to an og vinyl release, but it crushes any of the CD copies I've owned. Sounds really good. Good separation, clear instrumentation, great vocals, incredibly deep bass, and even decent soundstage. A little harsh in the highs is about my only complaint, but that doesn't even show up all the time. Pressing is solid as well and the color is a blast. Turn this fucker up!- My mother got me this copy whilst in the States - mine's been hand signed by Flea

Some of you wouldn’t know a good sounding record if it slapped you in the face. There’s no shot this CD-to-wax job can complete with the AAA version from Bernie Grundman Mastering.
La calidad de imagen e impresión de las tapas es de primera calidad y el sonido es más que excelente, mi copia vino con el segundo disco algo curvo pero eso no afecta en nada al sonido.
En cuanto a la presentación esta maso menos, ya sé que este album (al igual que Californication) nunca salió gategold, pero sí a salido con un instert. El cuál esta edición de La Nación no trae.
Quitando ese pequeño defecto vale mucho la pena esta edición. Como dije el sonido es buenísimo, y al fin y al cabo eso es lo que importa.

I've heard this and the US promo copy is good but I've heard that the newer pressings are still good though, what's the best bang for my buck on this album?

Not sure if I'm the only lucky one, but my press contains duplicate labels: LP 1 constains labels from sides 3 and 4, although songs and matrix number are actually correct. LP 2 is all fine.referencing Blood Sugar Sex Magik (2×LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Repress, 180 gram) 093624954163
Wow!!!!! This is an absolute killer pressing. Fleas bass is incredible. The drum kick and snare are punching you in the guts!. I listened to BSSM through my teenage years and know it inside out. I love how im hearing little things like clapping and cheering at the end of 'If you have to ask' which i never picked up on before. And ''breaking the girl' loads more percussion brought to the surface which sounds great Oh and the vocals and guitar are fantasic. The whole thing is superb! 10/10

This is an example of excellent vinyl burning of a record of the 90s born to be played by a CD player!
Rate 9.5
This pressing sounds great, bought it at a London Drugs for like $27 about 9 years ago, this album was very well recorded, in Jimi Hendrix' house, it sounded great in 91 on cd, and it sounds great on this pressing too!referencing Blood Sugar Sex Magik (2×LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Repress, 180 gram) 093624954163
This is AMAZING vinyl.
The original CD brought out the rhythm section, though this version brings the six strings to the fore. The guitar tone/riffs are the key to this records sound. Very slick playing, hats off JF.
Sounds better than my MoFI Pretenders self titled and MoFi DSOTM. Up there with MoFi Brothers In Arms and MoFi American Beauty vinyl.
So much more, SQ galore.
