This sounds incredible. Pick these reissues up! There are a lot of them out there now, but don’t miss out! They all sound great. This one is a heavy angst ridden ride, but so much energy and emotion. One of my favorites!

Love this pressing! Just got into her last year when I bought this. I feel like I'm sitting front row center, especially on "Missed." I'm running a vintage setup: 1979-80 Technics SL-B3, 1981 Harman Kardon hk350i tuner and 1989 Cerwin Vega AT-60 floor speakers.

Planning on getting most of these PJ's reissues. This one also sounds superb in my opinion. Definite recommend!
christidal Mar 6, 2021
I find the pressing a bit on the bright side, also – I know this might sound weird – I find it too dynamic. Unless you turn it up real loud you won't hear the intro very well for instance. Then of course when the drums bang in you have to turn it down again. Dynamics in general is a great thing but most people don't listen to their records in sound proofed mixing studios, so it also shouldn't be overdone.

Yeah I'm very happy with this. Super dynamic compared to the CD. I was worried that 14 tracks over a single LP might be pushing it but the pressing is really nice. Very quiet and clean with no crackles or pops and you can't beat 180g. Love the heavy sleeves they've used for these reissues too. Add your own poly sleeve and it's a premium reissue.

Really great pressing. Quiet vinyl, dynamic, with great soundstage and instrument separation. Support Polly and buy it!
jedimindsick Feb 8, 2021
Really great record that reminds me why I prefer the vinyl "sound" over other formats. In substance of the artist, and quality of the product, get this reissue.

Ordered a copy from Wal Mart of all places. Flat. Dynamic. Happy to add to my collection for 22 dollars. Had to run a light brush over it to get the paper sleeve and dust off.

I got my mint copy and the sound is fantastic.
Outlaster Nov 7, 2020
One thing it´s true: all of these new reissues from PJ Harvey sound near to perfection.
