Reviews
- A solid version of this album, at least as compared to anything currently available elsewhere, but the original master tapes for this album were located in 2020 and the 2022 rerelease currently up for preorder will be pressed from a remaster off those tapes. Every previous release is a rip of the original vinyl.
Not the best pressing... The high notes are immediately saturated and screeching. No cracks, clicks or pops though, just not a very pleasant listen.- Edited 4 years agoThe seeds in the card are cool, but I'm a bit concerned about exports and the wildflower seeds in the card. If it get's seized by customs or even worst, if it gets planted and we found affects the local ecosystem.... mmmmm... what to doooo, what to dooo...
What’s the difference between the green version and the green tip-on sleeve?- What’s the difference between the green version and the green tip-on sleeve?
Sounds great considering the lack of original master tapes for this pressing. A very solid reissue, would recommend if you have some seeds to SPROUT.
Aside from the built in surface noise from the original vinyl rip source, IT'S PLANTASIA! One of the most demanded reissues from the vinyl community and it is finally here. Catchy and quirky synth and moog music. My copy is flat and "quiet".
Great strong old-time cover(Tip-on Jacket on back)
180 gr.vinyl with pressing issues,like small hole label and a little vinyl warp,mostly on side A,
with cardtridge moving in horizontal way,but it doesn´t affect music.
Overall sounds very quiet too.
A side sounds nearly perfect except for the last track which sounds a little overcompressed, B side has a little noise at parts but also sounds pretty excellent.- Can anyone comment on the quality of the pressing yet?
