Show All 55 Reviews- Wow, sounds fabulous! Bought this for 35 Euro. Mastered for vinyl from the analog master tapes by Chris Bellman, so can't go wrong

i hate to say it but it bests my og which is only in vg+ conditon.referencing Full Moon Fever (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Blue Translucent) B0024291-01
Despite the goofy hype sticker this looks and sounds great. Seems to be a better quality pressing than my wildflowers box set…- Edited one month agoI always wanted this album on vinyl for years. So I bought a NM OG US Pressing. It sounds good, but, I gotta say, for this particular album, I actually prefer the OG CD because it’s crisper, fuller sounding with more detail and clarity yet with no harshness. The LP is warmer but it’s somewhat lacking in liveliness. And no, it’s not my turntable set up either as I have dozens of albums where the vinyl version betters the CD.

Fantastic pressing! Vinyl is very silent, flat and has a great sound stage - great low end, mids & highs on point. One of my absolute favorite albums pressed on gorgeous blue vinyl! Grab a copy if you can.- Agree with seajolly, the guitars do not pop out on this pressing and come out as flat. Tom’s voice sounds great though as well as the bass and drums. Can also always appreciate a quiet record although i was not a fan of it coming in a thick paper sleeve
- This sounds fantastic! Was surprised how quiet the vinyl was. Like it was pressed in Japan. Worth getting. Especially since the reissues are about the same price.

Overall a fantastic pressing. But it seems the vocals suffers with sibilance on Love is a Long Road?referencing Full Moon Fever (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Blue Translucent) B0024291-01
I just noticed. The shrink wrap on my copy has a sticker with the proper bar, but the jacket itself has the barcode 60254768593. Anybody else experience this? The Matrix/Runout codes match as well. Perhaps they ran out of jackets with the proper bar code for the color vinyl pressing?
