Reviews
bass is, as many have said, great, but a5 and to a lesser extent a4 are super muddy and distorted and sibilant
Aside from the copious amounts of dust from the inner sleeve and the distortion on A4 and A5 this plays pretty nicely; Jóga sounds fittingly gorgeous on vinyl.
I've had the CD since 1997 and finally got it on LP this year from Amazon.ca. What a wicked pressing! Zero noise. Dynamic and warm with KICK ASS bass. It's like discovering this album all over again.
Few pops or clicks, but sounds off. I'm not sure how to describe it, but I think it might be compressed or something
I don’t know what some of you clowns are playing this record on but this is hands down one of THE best pressings I own! Super quiet hardly any surface noise ZERO static and I’ve been listening to this album for 26 years but when I spin this record I’m hearing things I never heard before! It’s a very dynamic, warm and enveloping mix full of nuances that I didn’t realise where even there before
Edited one year agoKinda surface noisy in quiet parts, and the needle goes right into the label on Side A of my copy. Sounds good aside from the noise. Björk seems to be a mixed bag in terms of the most recent presses of her albums!- Edited one year agoExcellent release. Sounds dynamic, immersive and deep.
Very low surface noise in my copy. 
Bachelorette and all neon like (tracks 4 and 5 on side A) sounds really muddy and distorted, even after cleaning both the record and my stylus. The other songs however sound insanely good!- Not great but not terrible either. The sound is a little shallow and there is major inner groove distortion on the last 2 tracks of side A (the grooves almost go right to the label). otherwise it sounds pretty good.
Very clear beautiful deep sound for this one. Recommend 👌👌
