Very nice pressing overall but a fair amount of inner groove distorsion. Does anyone else have this issue?
It was remastered in 2011 not remixed.
There was a glitch in part 4 of early pressings but not in this one. I’m not to sure about the new cover. It works for Hergest Ridge but strange here. I don’t like the remixes he did of TB, Hergest and Ommadawn. I prefer the originals and pressing remixes only to vinyl means you’ve no choice but to buy the deluxe CD or early pressing. Hergest has always been the 1976 Boxed mix since then but I actually like that mix.- As others have said great pressing. Also comes with 16bit 44.1khz WAV download.
- Gorgeous album! I wish a document about the recording had been included as well.
So glad I have purchased this. Beautiful clear vinyl and dead-quiet pressing, great mastering. By the way, this is the *corrected* version of the 2011 remaster so it does *not* have a glitch on Part 4. I hope this finally clears up things :)- Missed chance: Why not a RSD EXCKUSIVE replica of the 1978 red and blue vinyl edition with the original cover plus poster along the the 4-track EP that came with the UK.edition.
Regarding the sound quality I can say this is a great pressing. No crackles & no pops throughout the 4 sides. I did not even notice the mentioned glitch in side four. The clear vinyl are really beautiful. Recommended!- Despite what the sticker and marketing say, there's no such thing as a "2011 Stereo Mix" of this album... so what's on it? The original stereo mix? Is the glitch in part four (introduced on the 2011 versions) present?
