Eric Serra – Léon (Musique Du Film De Luc Besson)

Słaba jakość płyty. Niby po masteringu, ale niestety dźwięk jest płaski i okropnie trzeszczy.

I still don’t know which plant pressed this. There are no pressing credits for any of the Waxworks LPs listed on Discogs. However, I gleaned a May 2018 comment posted on the steve hoffman discussion forum, post #20. The poster is located in Grand Fork, British Columbia, Canada and mentions he knows someone who works at the (local?) pressing plant. So perhaps it is a BC plant? https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/waxwork-records-the-horror-soundtrack-reissue-explosion.444710/#post-18256130

Disc come in black paper and plastic-lined sleeves. The following is what I can make out for my copy’s matrices. I’m not 100% positive about the spelling of the cutting engineer’s signature, but it is the best I can surmise. Does “De Plush” stand for engineer Jay Yoel Yuenger, apparently the house cutter for label Waxwork Records?

First copy have pops but my remplacement copy is great...great sound. better than the waxwork first edition.

excellent release. Way less expensive than the waxwork release. No drops or cracks or surface noise. Highly recommended

who has this pressing? what is the quality? Pop, crack like the other version ?

First Lp side A and B is ok, SIde C and D are bad....pop click, CracK...I have many pressing Waxwork...There is often problem pressing... Noise always...Find a good pressing is not easy. Hier, i bought Evil dead 2, same thing noise, click on Side B.....day of dead Noise on LP A....Re sended all Lp in waxwork or at you seller....What a Shame.... Update: My remplacement is ok but some rare pop

I'm beginning to understand why this soundtrack didn't sell out even after a year being passed. Consumers have caught on to the flawed pressings like the one I got. Just getting surface noise should be enough of blessing, but I even get clicks and pops in the later sides. But even if I got a flawless pressing, it sounds like a straight CD conversion as it sounds muffled in certain tracks. Normally, I would be angry at Waxwork, but I've been getting flawed pressings during my recent collecting of records that I've grown numb by this. Why should I care anymore?

[UPDATE - 1/29/2018]

Waxwork tried to make amends to my dilemma and sent me a replacement copy. And it worked. Both LPs are a significant improvement in terms of reduction of surface noise and clicks/pops in tracks that matter to me. Not EVERY track is clean, mind you, as there are a couple that present distracting clicks. But I'll take an LP with minor blemishes than an LP that's plagued with noise. I'm updating the rating to reflect this change. Given that there's still people getting poor copies of the soundtrack, buy with caution; at least this company will try to help customers out.

No problems with sound quality on my copy. Vinyl is a strange colour scheme, looks like a platter of vomit when spinning. Sound is absolutely superb.

A general question for me. Did they use the original master taps to master it for vinyl? For me the Sound is a little bit too compressed. Besides that my pressing has quite a lot of surface noise. Overall iam a bit disapointed but its the only release on vinyl so i guess im fine with it.
