Santogold – Santogold

Best looking gold record I own. And easily the most engaging and dynamic pressing in my collection. I wish all my records made my setup sound so phenomenal.

Classic. Brings me back to when music was good and production mattered.

Sounds great and looks good but I am disappointed by the lack of liner notes or even anything on the OBI strip. The lyric booklet is nice to have but this was something unknown to me before it showed up in the mail. The gatefold is nice and sturdy and the single LP is certainly of good quality but I don't think this pressing got the extra attention that it would seem due to an anniversary repress. Like someone gave me an extravagant birthday card that had absolutely nothing written inside other than my name on the front. Of course I would be pleased that someone had thought to give a damn I would still be disappointed that they didn't have anything thoughtful to say.

When this was first announced I wasn't too hyped on it and passed. Alas, when I was getting my 8 free records I threw in some wild cards. I'm glad I did. Beautiful pressing and far more awesome of an album than I remembered it being. I love it when I am proven wrong.

This is when VMP excels, a great pressing of a less-than-obvious album that you didn't know or didn't fully appreciate that hasn't been pressed ad nauseam. The complete opposite of this month's Fleetwood Mac release. The world does not need another pressing of that album.

This is my first VMP purchase. I have been a fan of Santigold for some time but just couldn’t justify the price of the record before this pressing. It’s really of quality. I couldn’t find one thing to complain about from the packaging to the sound. It was extremely silent even between the transition of each track. Plenty of punch where it’s needed and her vocals shine through. The color is immaculate too. Plenty of waving/rippling to make it look like it’s liquid gold. Very happy to own this now.

I just compared this to an original copy and I can't tell the difference! Both sounded very good!.

Brilliant release. Zero surface noise and dynamic sound. Anyone complaining either got a bad pressing or needs to up their gear game.

Rega P6 w/ Exact 2, KEF R3s, NAD C399

i think this actual track sounds A LOT like the clash in their haydayz.. peace!

Sounds almost as flawless as VMP’s pressing of Fiona Apple’s Tidal. Looks amazing as well.

Just received a copy of this, it sounds absolutely incredible, probably the best sounding record in my collection.
