referencing Cosmic Thing (LP, Album) 92 58541
This pressing is absolutely amazing, dead-silent, incredible dynamics, and just an overall awesome B-52s album- Edited 6 months ago
referencing Cosmic Thing (LP, Album, Reissue) R1 25854
Much better pressing than the RSD rainbow vinyl edition, which suffers from extreme surface noise. Same plates used here, but way better vinyl compound. Excellent mastering and solid artwork. - Edited 8 months agoDirect comparison with MoFi 2012 vinyl: this mastering (US Masterdisk) is fuller in the low and low-mid, and smoother in the upper-mid. Preferred.
A wonderful album in composition and performance. - Edited 8 months agoDirect comparison with original press US vinyl (SRC/Masterdisk): this mastering is less full in the low end, slightly less full in the lower midrange, and fuller in the upper-mid. The result is a slightly thinner, slightly more edgy sound than the original US vinyl.
Special Limited Edition No 006702, from the 2022 repress. I see nothing that specifically distinguishes this as a repress. - Edited 8 months ago
referencing Cosmic Thing (CD, HDCD, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue, Remastered, Gold CD) AFZ 077
Direct comparison with original press US CD: this mastering is fuller in the low and low-mid, and less prominent in the upper-mid. The results are a punchier kick drum; fuller, clearer bass; less edge to the cymbals and less sibilant energy in the vocals. A noticeable improvement on the original.
Loudness: AF CD LUFS -16 / Original US CD LUFS -14.8 / so AF is slightly more dynamic than the original. referencing Cosmic Thing (LP, Album, Stereo) 925 854-1
This grows on me. Really bummed that i didn’t buy it back in the day.- To me sounded very thin. I own the other 2 mofi B52 albums and didn’t find them to be thin sounding at all. I do have 2 different 45rpm 7” (different codes one is a limited edition but pretty sure both are same pressing) of Love shack so listened to those, found kick drum to be about the same pretty tight but the bass guitar or bass strings on guitar to be a lot more forward on the 45’s and the voices sounded a bit more fuller on the 45. Plus the volume difference between the 45’s and this 33 was huge.

Same comments as the others, except signed by Fred, Kate, and Cindy. ❤️- Got it in August 2020. Just listened through again, it's a great sounding album! I'm getting plenty of deep and smooth bass, with great mid and uppers nicely balanced. Sound is clear and sharp, this is a fun listen.
