Got my copy from my neighborhoods record store and it sounds great. One of my favorites in my collection.
Shadowtricks Oct 21, 2024
my copy sounds very flat compared to my other Nujabes pressings. side C and D also have a lot noise, but i think it might just how the originals were produced and i never noticed, but the lack of depth in the mix makes it all sound unintentional. Im just very happy to have bought this one at the price that i did because its still a must have for any Hydeout productions collector.

Pressage japonnais que dire de plus c'est merveilleux à écouter

High quality pressing! Peaceland on this sounds so dreamy. Very quiet surface noise (if any)

Nujabes respected.
Got it on Ebay from a Japanese seller.

Fantastic. Sleeve is gorgeous and high quality, records have zero noise.

Stupendous. Seems that it continues to be pressed with increasing combinations of runout variants. Does not seem to be affecting quality as my copy sounds great. The packaging and mastering are phenomenal. Never gets old or tiring on the ears either.

Awesome sounding. I can't believe how good it sounds after so long.

Boistrious, loud, well-mixed and lacking any interruptions. Also a nice material & gatefold. Rest In Peace

Nujabes is the father of lo-fi, I love it.

The first time I heard it was in the anime Samurai Champloo.
