- Edited 4 months agoSimilar to the collector below, i had a nasty audible non fill defect with my first copy and had to return it. It was just too bad. I worried for the second one but happily it joins my 50+ Speakers Corner reissues as being just about perfect. Honestly, when Pallas get it right they easily match RTI/QRP/Record Industry. Im glad to say they seemingly reserve their best work for Speakers Corner and Pure Pleasure. Mastering wise this is very very good. I compared with the Music On Vinyl issue and this indeed is the clearer more realistic version but the MOV has a beguiling fullness which isnt unpleasant at all and some may even prefer. Both are excellent but this probably is the better one!
- Maybe I got lucky having bought this last month. My pressing is more typical Speakers Corner/ Pallas pressing. Nice and quiet.
Just bought this today and my A1-A2 is almost unlistenable. You can actually see the non-fill in the grooves with your bare eyes. On Side 2 there is some non-fill that causes the odd noise, but not even close to as bad as the first side. The mastering is superb, which is sadly ruined by the pressing quality, and judging by the other reviews, I am not the only one with this issue. I expected a better product from a plant like Pallas and I will think twice about buying a sealed Speakers Corner product in the future.
Great pressing and album, no issues with my copy. When Speakers Corner is on, they're on.
Wow ! what an excellent pressing! I've had the chance to compare with and original in VG++ shape and I can say that both have the same range (maybe a little more dynamic for this reissue) and deep sound.
The A side was lightly noisy but after a good cleaning it play very quiet. A real pleasure <3- Stunning pressing! Digitized it and compared it to my original copy with exact same levels... and I have to say this is probably the first reissue that sounds better than the original for me (speaking of old 60s or 70s records).
Speakers Corner seems to do here everything right - in contrast to Pure Analogue records claiming to produce perfect analogue sounding "originals" and constantly disappoint by distorting vinyls... - A1 is pretty noisy with a steady crackle even after cleaning. Wouldn't call it pops but it's distracting. The rest of the LP sounds great. I've had issues with this one and Miles Smiles from Speakers, otherwise, they have been amazing.
- Sounds terrific!! Quiet and flat vinyl. Go Pallas and Kevin Gray and Speakers Corner. This is a good one indeed.
My copy is perfect and sounds amazing! Get it while you can- I have the same issues as zVinyl below—A1 and 2 appear to have damaged grooves resulting in very loud pops and distortion. Very disappointing.
