Reviews
Edited 3 months agoThis is exactly how remaster / reissues should be produced. Flawless mastering and pressing, as well as artwork presentation and bonus poster. This is definitely an RTI pressing.- Great sound, funny poster included. more words more words more
Love this new pressing. Flat and quiet. Poly lined inner sleeve & bonus poster were nice touches. After cleaning the LP, I transferred it to a MoFi style inner sleeve with rice paper. Also, I wish the classic labels were still on the album but oh well. Great addition to the collection
This is an excellent re-issue pressing, and yes, the poster is amazing. 🙏🏽🔊🔊🔊
Sounds soooo good. No complaints. And obviously, the included poster (you know the one) just adds to the glory of this repress. You'd be foolish not to grab this.
I can indeed confirm that a poster is included of Prince (in the shower).- Early reports indicate that this new 2022 vinyl reissue includes the poster. Can anyone out there confirm this? Thanks.
