EverythingButTheGirl* – Temperamental

ditto all the accolades. Relistened to it last night and it is a superb pressing. Good to see such great album getting the treatment it deserved.

This was the true soundtrack to pre-millennium tension. I can't count the number of times I listened to this album when it first came out, or in the years afterwards. Listening to it now, it holds up amazingly well. A great combination of house bangers and downtempo tracks that has stood the test of time.

What an album! Rich/clean pressing. I’ve always loved “Walking Wounded” (my 1st taste of the duo) and I assumed this record was its lesser but man was I wrong. Listening to it now and looking at the sheet inside w/credits and wishing they had included a pamphlet on the album and the story behind it. Feels like a missed opportunity. I imagine it’s partly based on how private they are. This album feels/sounds so relevant/current that I’m certain folks (myself included) would love to hear new music from them but they’ve stuck to their promise to step aside from music.

This pressing is incredible - zero clicks and pops - crisp, huge sounds and Traceys vocals clear as day.

Dead quiet, no clicks & pops, perfect pressing.
also, the artwork is good.

Hello people, most 12 inches of this album sound at least as good as this half speed mastering, guess it's not that special :-)

This pressing sounds incredible, and great care was obviously taken with this release. My only complaint (if you can even call it that) is it would have been great to have liner notes revisiting and contextualizing the album, but that's me being nitpicky. Major props to the band for doing these reissues right.

This pressing is flawless, and while I love EBTG, this probably stands out as their best album, and sounds unbelievable on vinyl.
Now if they would just release Acoustic...

Spectacular pressing. Heavy, flat, zero surface noise, CRANKABLE with a low end that give my REL subwoofer life!

21 years later and the music & lyrics remains fresh, emotional and deep like the first day.
The half speed mastering (thanks again, Miles Showell!!) gives a crisp, crystal clear, pure, detailed and natural sound.
Much, much better than the original vynil cut, but i prefer the original double carpet design with the lyrics inside.
No cracks, hiss and unwanted noises.
Ultra recomended piece(s) of wax.
