Reviews
Any one looking for one of these Thomsun Joshua tree tapes
11/10 amazing nothing to complain this is great dig it- It sounds freaking amazing but I have a small channel cutout on Trip Thru Your Wires
Well the packaging is nice, there are no doubts there, mine came with front sticker Double heavyweight vinyl on front right top of shrink, also with a small Made in Germany sticker on rear left of shrink. Rear cover has Made in Germany printed, run outs are the same as quoted above with BJ 80401-01, for Optimal media Gmbh. Vinyl is in 2 Black paper poly lined sleeves, there is a lyric/pic booklet, additionally there are 2 thicker paper printed sleeves, one Gold backed rear with white Joshua tree, the front with Edge in left foreground Bono to the right, Adam behind and Larry behind Edge. One is Black backed with a Gold Joshua tree with Bono, Larry behind then Edge and Adam all at right side of print on the front.
i dont quite get what people are going goo goo over. Literally brand new Nude Diamond on my Shure V15 type V, i listened to a NOS copy of Australian release Reader Digest Abba 5 x lp from 1982 while i was cleaning this copy fresh out of the liners and that sounds better than this, better separation and soundstage. Sounds like its just been cut hotter according to my bottle amp, it's just an ok pressing, and not totally quiet either. The OG must be a really poor cut if this is supposed to be the Ducks nuts, its not some sort of a magical Unicorn of a pressing sprinkled in Fairy dust and by the amount of releases of this album i cant say i am surprised. To sum up, i still havn't found what i'm looking for.- Hi, I’m looking for this copy, if anybody has a copy for sale, please send me a message. Thanks
- Sounds amazing. Dynamic punchy and full, although obviously the 2LP will sound better this is fantastic
referencing The Joshua Tree (LP, Album, Gatefold) ISX 1127
Incredible. I agree with everybody here - just buy it.
This sounds pretty good, but far from what it could sound if they had taken advantage of the space on two vinyl records.- I agree with one of the earlier comments. Fairly quiet pressing but lacking depth and definition. The mix seems muddy and muted. My copy was also slightly warped.
I Join this comity's general analysis and agree: this pressing sounds absolutely fantastic , a must have.
Patrick.
