Reviews
Edited 11 months agoA worthy experience. My copy is dead quiet. Soundstage is nice, separation, clarity, though low end a bit restrained. Maybe it's my new Cambridge Audio AXR85? AT VM95ML point.
Cool album, and props to them for making this affordable for people to maybe take a chance on a classic psych LP... but the quality? Oof.
My copy is also rough…tons of pops. Also, the record is majorly warped.
My copy is rough. Tons of pops and scratches. A few spots where it skips as well.
Bought one of these, but it didn't have quite the same snap and sparkle as I remembered from older copies. Bought the Big Beat 30th Anniversary Pressing afterward and it was a noticeable improvement.- My copy is filled with crackles and pops throughout the record. Sounds great otherwise.
- Edited 3 years agoThis seems to be just another Varese repress. Craft Recordings has owned them since 2018.
Okay, the sound on this one is amazing! Way better than I expected. Full and engaging, tight lows and crystal-clear highs. (Sorry for the verbage but I am not a sound engineer nor do I know music theory so I just used the best words I could.) Simply put, this pressing is awesome and you should buy it for up to three times what it's currently going for. It will be that much soon as these $20 ones sell off.
