Smashing Pumpkins* – Siamese Dream

I could be wrong but this is likely not official, while some red copies do exist they are variations of the pink pressing and appear a more salmon red marbled as opposed to the bright red pictured here. The original color pressings did vary in shade so it’s possible sonewhere there is a bright red like this but this one seems to be transluscent too.

This pressing sounds great. Clear and well balanced with great dynamics. Definitely had to clean the discs before playing, but after cleaning, I experienced almost no surface noise. I'm very happy with this pressing.

saw 7 of these brand new at my local record shop, $47 a piece.

This sounds fantastic, happy to pick this one up

Words words words

There’s a few pops here and there, but I believe a good clean would get them out. This is truly an amazing pressing of an amazing album. Crystal clear sound throughout

for a bootleg good pressing copy in white for me

Just listened to this pressing... I wrote a longer review, but it was too wordy. If you want to hear what this one sounds like, find PBTHAL's Original U.S. Orange Vinyl 24/96 needledrop.

My copy sounds pretty good. Not muddy at all. I’m happy with this pressing

My runout is slightly different on side D - it shows #29 as opposed to #34 listed here.

Assuming it's the same release since it's also going to be 2023, ordered from a bigger retailer that had it in stock for a non-scalped price.

I've yet to listen to the entire album, so I'll probably come back and add more but my first impressions are good. The gatefold is one of the most solid I've ever seen as well as having the nice sleeves and the cardboard lyric sleeves seperate is a nice addition.

The pressing sounds good, it did arrive dirty and I used a brush to clean it off visually. It does have the occasional very soft click if I'm listening for it, but in my experience washing this will rid most/if not all of these.

Side C or D does have a mark on it that might also wash off.. But I'm not holding my breath. My favorite songs are on A and B so I'll be subjectively listening to those more.

All in I'd say I'm happy, the only thing I'd swap it for is an original pressing or one of the coloured ones (which, unless I'm REALLY lucky I'm never going to buy).

Don't pay scalper prices for this however, I got this for $95 AUD and it's currently on Amazon for about $90 shipped.

What's a good price for this? Looks like it's starting to come down from where it was!?
