Show All 109 Reviews- My pressing is extremely sibilant in the inner grooves. Completely ruins These Walls and Alright. It's basically unlistenable.
- Not a great pressing in my experience. Bought a copy in 2019 and had to return it 3 times because of a supposed manufacturing defect. On the first track, Wesley's Theory, there is a noticeable skip between the last line of the first chorus ("Destroyed, but what for?") and the beginning of the first verse ("When I get signed...")
The line, "...but what for?" is completely cut out. It completely kills the vibe for me. Fortunately, none of the other tracks have this problem; however, this is a very noisy pressing even after being cleaned on my record doctor. This record is a complete dud and it's unfortunate you can't differentiate this pressing from any other externally similar pressings without having to open the record up and reading the matrix/runout info. My advice, stay away from this pressing. If you end up buying this pressing, save yourself the disappointment and return it. referencing To Pimp A Butterfly (CD, Album) 0602547270917
One of the albums from my generation that's already certain to go down in history as a classic. In the field of hip-hop I can't think of anything that has received such good reception and that has been given such importance. Incredibly good sequencing, the album is a self-contained work of art, a great concept, musically top notch with great jazzy live instrumentals. I could go on for days praising this album. But you have to experience it yourself to fully understand it. The absolute elite of the art form of rap.- One of the albums from my generation that's already certain to go down in history as a classic.

Vinyl is an unspectacular gatefold with black vinyl but very high quality. Vinyl is centered and center pressed and flat. No surface noise, punched hole just the right size and vinyl not cut off sharply at the edges. Material convinces here with very good quality. - Pleasant dynamic pressing. This pressing has balanced bass, clean vocals, albeit with some noise at the beginning of the album but soon dissipates. This is a much better way to listen to this album compared to streaming.
- Great pressing In terms of sound quality. Production always sounded great and here is fantastic. Dynamics are really good on my system, even when this album belongs to a digital recording era.
This european version is pretty solid in this area.
Only have two problems with this version:
-The Art Cover is a png. of bad quality. Some say it is intentional but at the end it looks horrible in comparision with the inside photos.
-A lot of Surface noise and Pops (after cleaning)
on the beggining of each side.
