Stevie Nicks – Bella Donna

Just got what I assume is a repress @ retail. I have not heard any other version, but this press is more than acceptable. Pretty clean and quiet vinyl. Mastering is good, not my favorite work by BG, but not worth a $30+ price premium to "upgrade" to the VMP version for a non desert album for me.

Kinda surprised that no one mentioned it before, but it has CB in the run outs on both LPs, so it’s probably a Chris Bellman cut

My copy is noisy. Not the worst I’ve ever heard but it’s definitely noticeable in quieter passages and in-between songs. Mostly got it for the bonus disc though, hoping to pick up a VMP copy soon to compare

Can't imagine the VMP pressing sounding better than this, though the volume is probably louder I'm sure. There's so much depth here and amazing dynamics! Also it's way easier to find and cheaper, even for a NM copy

Nice pressing! Clean and flat. Good detail. I would not call this an audiophile pressing but it sounds really nice. It came in white polylined paper sleeves also with the booklet. I have an original and I must say, the bass is defiantly more prominent on this one. It sounds pleasing but I do wonder about the source of the master. Digital or analog?

Great sound! One of the better 80s mofis that I have heard. If you see this for a reasonable price buy it!

My copy was not pressed at GZ but rather MRP - and it's quite noisy even after TWO thorough cleanings on my Okki Nokki vacuun record cleaner AND my Degritter ultrasonic cleaner.

Anyone compare this to the VMP Ryan K. Smith pressing?

Sure, this is an excellent sounding remaster of the main album, very similar to the VMP release from a few years ago.
But unfortunately, I have bad nonfill krispies starting in the middle of side C during Leather and Lace continuing throughout the remainder. Also similar noise throughout the start of Side A. Bummer. Reaching out to Rhino as the store I purchased from does not have a copy to exchange and will not do refunds...

My copy came with the booklet and black poly lined sleeves. It does sound great but quite expensive for a double LP ? Paid £50 here in the UK which seems to be the price most shops were asking, just seems a tad overpriced to me . ( I also bought the 6 LP Lyndsey Buckingham box set for £50 in same store too , seems better value somehow).
