Reviews
- Edited 4 months agoAverage release for me. The sound overall isn’t so impressive. The vocals are shine. Some GZ background surface noise, even a skip in the end of A6.
Edited one year agoMaybe I got really lucky. Just bought my copy today and it sounds good, and I mean REALLY good! Crisp, well balanced, no surface noise and dead quiet between tracks 👌- Lots of surface noises on copy I bought today. Sad, because this is a brilliant album that deserves so much better.
- I've made a complaint for my 1st copy of this album but 2nd copy have the same issue. There is repeating, annoying noise, rising on side A from track 3 to 5, then on track 6 it completely disappears. It is also not present between tracks, so it's rather not mechanical error but some error with track versions or the matrix for a vinyl copy. Shame...
Great album, but the release is poorly - mass is noisy and and chalk inner sleeve stuck to the vinyl leaving the paper on the record- Edited 3 years agoAll these comments about bad pressing quality do not mirror my experience.
I have this pressing: Matrix Numbers: Side A, variant 2, stamped: 231577E1 1097227, Side B, variant 2, stamped): 231577E2 1034541.
This pressing is fabulous. Flat vinyl. No surface noise, no ticks, pops, dust, whatever. Maybe a minimal off-centre but that's about it. One of the best pressings I have received recently. Played on a Transrotor Turntable with Benz Ace SL stylus.
I am normally not a fan of GZ-vinyl pressings but, this one is perfect. 
This is a typical GZ pressing....with many clicks and dirt vinyl...bad innersleeve...- the vinyl quality is poor. The mass is noisy and there is a lot of sand
- Record is badly warped, a shame as it sounds pretty good. Awaiting a replacement, but in truth I am not having much hope as most new records these days seem to be warped to a certain degree. Which is frankly unacceptable. Zero quality control.
Edited 3 years agoGreat sounding record. Well balanced. The pressing is little off centered (without playback issues) and dished. My copy have two pressing defects on Track 3 and 11 for 3-4 rounds + a lot of dirt in the grooves. I guess i don‘t get a better copy.
