      The records are flat, no clicks or pops
      Could be a little bit less surface noise.
      The sound is absolutely amazing!

        Hmmm, my copy clearly says manufactured in the EC and the date is 2000. But it's also marked SACD 329. Image matches this one also. Sounds really good to me with strong clear vocals and nice separation of the instruments. Backing vocals are nicely present too.

            Sonically this record will hold a special place amongst my audiophile albums. Only problem for me is that i find that most of the songs are largely forgettable. Perhaps I need to play it a few more times.

              Plays OK with Benz Micro Wood SL and Reed 5A tonearm. Some level of sibilance is present on Spanish Harlem, other tracks plays better. Not recommended on cartridges with tilted high frequency response.

                This recording has a significant sense of space to it. You can really feel the dimensions of the room. You can see her young, perfect head intonating in your mind's eye.

                  Very noisy pressing with lifeless flat sound. Was this just pressed from the CD with auto tune? This pressing simply has no musical presence at all. The CD is better.

                    For a much lauded album… this pressing sounds mediocre at best, while Spanish Harlem is almost unlistenable due to the amount of distorsion. How can this be an audiophile release from Chesky?

                      Its true that the sibilance on Spanish Harlem is insane! The other songs also have it to an extent.
                      No cartridge can track that much HF energy without mistracking and distortion...

                      Keep finding more and more of these audiophile releases with excessive sibilance and then I play a normal LP and it has no issues with the vocals. Makes me wonder why I bother with vinyl for those releases and not just get a cheap CD, at least it won't sound nasty on the ssSSSsss vocals.

                      Maybe the 2xLP 45RPM version by AP is better but really there's no excuse. Side A is 25 mins long so I expect harder to track passages and its true some of the songs have audible sibilance, but nothing major. Don't get why Spanish Harlem sounds as bad as it does when side B is 20 mins running time in total. Either way this is something that could have been taken care of during the cutting process. I have 53 mins LPs that don't have an ounce of sibilance problems.

                      I'm using a perfectly aligned shibata stylus and no other record I've played has THAT much sibilance hissing. Shame as the music is pretty nice!

                        The sound of this record is magnificent. The quality is outrageously good. The kind of music that brings quietude and inner peace.
