Reviews
- need help finding my variant! when i scan the barcode that came on the shrinkwrap, the 2022 repressing appears, but when i search the runouts, this 2021 pressing appears. did they just put 2021 pressings in 2022 covers or is it a new variant that isnt in the database yet?
- Wow, this has to be one of the biggest differences between a digital version and an analogue vinyl cut I've ever heard! When you listen to this and then listen to the same album on a streaming platform, the latter sounds like recorded in a matchbox. That's how big the difference is, Im not exaggerating, this analogue vinyl cut sounds absolutely massive!
If this still isn't enough convincing to get this as soon as possible, the gatefold jacket is also something else, the highest possible quality all around, an absolute beauty on its own! There's some confusion about the different pressings, as I understand it, there are 3 versions of this new deluxe edition:
- 2021 1st batch with printed poly-lined inner sleeve, without the 6 art prints (REWIGLP159X on stickers)
- 2021 2nd batch with generic black poly-lined inner, with the 6 art prints (REWIGLP159X on stickers)
- 2022 3rd batch with generic red poly-lined inner, with the 6 art prints (REWIGLP159S on stickers)
So you have to decide if you prefer the printed inner sleeve or the art prints. Call me crazy, but I prefer this version, I'm a sucker for vinyl artwork that also serves a purpose instead of just being a loose addition. The inner sleeve looks stunning and if I'm not mistaken this is actually the only LP I own with a custom picture inner sleeve that has both a cut-out window and is poly-lined throughout, so this is something pretty unique. - Hang on a minute. Some serious ambiguity and even confusion here which needs to be explained: I bought BOTH this heavy tip on sleeve deluxe version AND the standard gatefold version when both were released in May 2021 on Domino Records, and yet my deluxe tip-on sleeve (heavier) version does NOT come with the six art prints.
I only thought that these six art prints came with the subsequent 2022 reissue of the deluxe tip-on sleeve version (which I then thought was a swizz, meaning fans who wanted these prints would have to fork out a THIRD time to buy this LP)...and yet here it says the 2021 issue also had these art prints.
Was this initial quantities of the 2021 release only or is there some error in the listing specifics here? Can somebody please fill us in on this conundrum? - Stunning! I’ve struggled to really get into this album from the first time I heard it when it came out. I had a lousy aughts pressing that didn’t help the case for Loveless. All that changed with this pressing. It’s well balanced, warm, so immersive and has great separation. It’s night and day to any listening experience I’ve had. I put off buying this for a long time and I’m so glad I picked it up.
- Jesus...a night and day difference between digital. This pressing is so much fatter, warmer, and fuller compared to streaming. The streaming version is more actually clear, but it's also less immersive. Both different experiences I guess, but I would imagine this pressing is much closer to the artists intention.
- I am very curious why not put this on 2LP, this is an album that reaches almost 50 minutes, and even cut with a Neumann VMS 80 and studer a80 still has limitations,Not to mention the ‘to here knows when’ and ‘soon’ on the 12" 45 rpm, the volume, and details of 'Sometimes' in 'lost in translation' are better than this "full analog cut"
- It sounds good for sure, but am I the only one to find that the the sound is a bit too low ? I have to turn up the volume comparing to other albums.
- I've always loved this album. I've always hated how it sounds. I know that many people will say that I do not understand the sound and this record sounds exactly as it should be, that they have worked a lot on it and it is an artistic project and bla bla bla..... The fact remains that it sounds terribly bad with any minimally decent system in any hi-fi system a minimum of revealing. I was hoping that this new edition with new mastering and high quality press could change my mind but unfortunately I have to confirm everything. the sound is terrible, lifeless, flat, the voice is quite muddy and the rest of the sounds are smeared as if they were a background, it seems to hear a voice with a kind of indistinct background. There are so many layers, in fact the production is very elaborate. But all these layers are... like melted in a single wall of sound which is not a powerful wall. But it's a kind of sad wall. And the drums...the drums are so sick... . Its clear that this is the best pressing, so, the best that you can get from this album, maybe with earphones you can get some satisfaction. The jacket and overall quality is superb anyway.
