- Fantastic pressing of a fantastic album. Snare drums feel like a punch to the brain.
Side 1 is sent down from heaven, Don't think I can fit it on the paper"
I literally found a city while listening to this album.
//My Highlight Tracks:
I Zimbra
Paper
Cities
Life During Wartime
Air
Animals
Drugs
My US first pressing LP has The Flamin' Groovies Jumpin' In The Night label on side one.
Hold this up to the light and you’ll see it’s pressed on Quiex vinyl. Look it up! This is a great find.
Listening to this exact press right now and it sounds fantastic on my setup. Which isn’t particularly outstanding. Especially speaker-wise. Very full and dynamic. I recommend this one!
Looking for the printed inner sleeve only! If you have a spare one I will take it off your hands...- Great sounding dynamic first usa pressing but i will say the rhino re-issues are good also both sound good!!! cant go wrong with either
- Looking for sleeve only. $10. Message me. Words. words words.
My copy has the Side 2 label on both sides. Corrected at the plant or retailer with green ink.
