- Absolutely perfect for me, sound, dynamics, not a single noise !!! If all the LPs could be like that !!!!

referencing Diamond Life (LP, Album, Gatefold) EPC 26044
Very happy with this original UK A4/B3 pressing! Full range, natural sound, never harsh even on the higher notes. Got this one because I wanted the 'original' non US version of Smooth Operator to supplement my Sade's The Best Of compilation. - Edited 14 days agoincredible, dynamic & flawless sound. Dare I say one of the most perfect sounding recordings ever pressed to wax. Every song is killer and the music is to die for, also notable is that Smooth Operator here is the rare original uk mix that has been surpassed in pop culture by the more reverb heavy American radio mix, I don't personally have a preference but for my money there is a more emotive pull to the drier uk mix, all in all this is a must own lp for any collection.

is this international release… or a specific country… cause I bought at amoeba records with an ‘import’ sticker on case.- My run out is A2/B2
Should I make another version on here or is there one that would suit it well. Uk Timtom yellow epic on umbre blue lable. referencing Diamond Life (CD, Album, Reissue) CDEPC 26044
This is still a reference CD. Great tunes, great musicianship & fantastic production👍👍- Edited one month agoI cannot understand how it is possible that an album made many years later (2020), with current technological advances, does not reach the sound quality of one made in 1985. The difference is very noticeable in favor of the 1985 LP. I am referring to this album from 1985...

It's a pity that I can't upload the graphics of both discs so that it can be seen...
