Reviews
- Back in the 80s the story was they did some of the sound with a BBC micro. That was super cool back then. 40 years later and this is the most bizarrely/badly produced album I've heard. I guess there's a reason the drums don't sound like drums.
That said it defines an area of the evolution of music plus "Love is a Stranger" is my fave Eurythmics track even if it sounds like Annie Lennox is standing 2 miles away. - BUYER BEWARE: My copy of this release has started to 'pinhole'.
My advice is to rip your copy of this release asap, before the
pinholes increase & become problematic during playback of the CD. referencing Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) (16×File, WAV, Album, Remastered, Stereo, 16-Bit / 44.1 kHz) none
This digital remaster sounds great. The soundstage is very wide and deep, making speakers nearly disappear. This can be played very loud since there's no ear daggers or boomy bass to contend with.- Just timeless! Has aged well and after many years, I still find myself playing it quite often. I enjoy Eurythmics entire catalogue, but something about this one just stays with you. Many memories with this as a soundtrack. I wish all of the b-sides from this era were remastered and put out in all of their glory!!! Good candidate for a deluxe reissue with more bonus material. Not everything was added in 2005 to those remasters.
- Edited one year agoI have both a 1983 UK what 1st press, bought sealed a few years back, along with the 2018 remaster, again, sealed. The differences i can see are that the 2018 version is more dulled down than the original, as the 1983 recording is quite bright, even on digital versions. There are areas of sibilance, harmonic distortion in places, however i genuinely believe this is due to how the abum was mastered/recorded.
In interviews by both annie and dave, it was recorded using a 4track method, meaning multiple instruments were recorded on one side of tape. Its also worth noting that some of the equipment they used, mainly the drum machines didn’t work the way they were designed to, which might add a slight LO-FI quality to the album.
I’ve heard good reviews of the 1983 German press (PL 25447), which may have been a lucky master. This doesn’t really detract anything for me, as the album came out right in the advent of the CD, meaning some labels were investing less money in LP manufacturing. I’m a huge fan of Eurythmics, sometimes their albums are more complex than good Vs bad pressings.
Equipment - Technics SL-1400MK2, ATVM95SH, Sony TA-FB940R, Klipsch Speakers. - Edited one year agoSensational pressing and mastering. Excellent separation of instruments, vocals are crystal clear, and perfectly balanced. Record a little on the noisy side and needs a really good ultrasonic clean, to get the most out of this release.
- Not good. Ive not got an original to compare this to but the high frequencies on this are nasty. I noticed it most on Ive Got An Angel where theres a high hat or shaker sound that runs throughout the song. It sounds like someone rubbing sandpaper together. Really shrill and it stands out in the mix.
One for ebay I suspect
Im using a Technics SL 1500C with an Ortofon Red. - Here we have a beautiful album by Euritmics and this is absolutely classic from the 80's. The sound is nice and recording, production and pressing are very well done.
