Kendrick Lamar – Good Kid, M.A.A.d City

compared against the target version - this honestly sounds much better. It’s a bit quieter, but the midrange sounds much clearer side by side. Bass has a bit more space to breathe.

Looks to be a new pressing out there from Canada (printed on shrinkwrap). Just grabbed from turntablelab, has different text on the labels as well.

Complete blind buy from Target based on the reputation of Kendrick I've heard over the years. Straight out of the paper sleeves :absolutely dead silent flat wax sides 1-3, a few seconds here and there of low crackles on side 4, wet wash might clean up, however, excellent soundstage, well balanced bass, treble and midrange make this a nice pickup!

beautiful sounding pressing. thick, rich, clear and crisp! one of the best sounding hip-hop LP's in my collection.

To my fellow Canadians out there: Sonic Boom is selling copies for $53 CAD. Grab one while it's hot.

This pressing sounds fantastic! Cut loud, great bass, lush production and beautiful gatefold cover on thick card stock.

Does anyone know where this black vinyl version was pressed? Would someone be so kind as to post the runouts?

My copy is warped pretty badly but luckily it’s not audible and my TT has no problem tracking. This pressing sounds damn good. Super flat, dynamic, bass hits hard and no sibilance whatsoever. Traded in my standard black repress for this one and am not disappointed. Would recommend

I've had the OG press, US reissue, EU reissue, Target exclusive, and CD - compared to any of them this pressing is so much better! First copy unfortunately had clicks all over but second copy was flawless, almost nearly as clean as a one-step. Finally sounds as good as this masterpiece deserves!
