- Ignore the haters; awesome release. Bought two copies during my European tour and was going to sell one but keeping both. Want the analog release but this one hits every time.
Beautiful packaging, that attention to detail on the vinyl sleeve is amazing. The pressing could be good or bad, but there's so much distortion so I'll never know :)
This is a beautiful pressing. as is my mbv LP reissue! clean, flat, wide sound. I am so grateful I picked this LP up.
I listen to a lot of music that most people would consider rather disharmonic, and usually find my way into what to me is like a deeper or synergetic harmony, some aptitude of the muscians that I can appreciate. Not with this. This for me is disharmonic for the sake of being disharmonic with no deeper concept. Punk if I was to label it, and that'd be a praise.
Pressing is excellent and vinyl quality is decent as so many have correctly pointed out here.
That the analog remastering would make any difference with this "music" though, I seriously doubt it. But I will remain ignorant since I'm not even considering to give it a try.- Edited 2 years agoMy copy came dirtier than sin, like they had set it down in a pile of dirt before loading it into the custom inner sleeve. But after a wet clean it sounds as good as I could hope to hear from this classic!
Edited 2 years agoSounds excellent. Perfect pressing for me. Packaging is beautiful too.
My copy has switched labels.
Side A has Label B / Side B has Label A
Does anyone has similar copy?
Just a warning if you're in the U.S. and order from the MBV store.
Shipping is being handled by Bleep.com who seem to have people on staff that cannot package records properly for international shipment. The mailers are "whiplash style" but made from cheaper, thinner cardboard and they don't reinforce the packages well on the inside. Anyone that knows what they are doing would use cardboard filler pads to sandwich the LPs in additional protection, but they don't do that. They just wrap them in tissue paper and some netting type material. Not adequate for crossing the ocean.
Further, the MBV store/Bleep is still shipping out leftover 2021 copies of this album. That means if you really wanted the 2022 edition with the extra prints you might not get it. Further, your records may show up warped.
just wanted to add another glowing review for this all-analog cut of isn't anything. i've not got all 3 from the recent reissues and this one is extremely good. my copy is dead flat and dead quiet. i can't believe how good this mix/mastering job is. amazing detail and separation. very lively and dynamic as well.- This repress makes me wanna cry. One of the best in my collection. Perfect sound. Flawless.
