Reviews
I bought a second hand copy. It looks like it has never been played before. But... The pops I hear when I start playing the record are very annoying. Even though I cleaned the vinyl, there is no change. Waste of money.
I had two older Canadian Pressing (gatefold and non gatefold). I have sold them a while ago so don’t have the exact pressing detail but they both sounded very treble heavy (almost shrill sounding). I was convinced my best option would be the Steven Wilson remix.
Then I came across this in a used bin. Very dynamic and the harshness has been tamed masterfully without making the music sound dull. I wonder if this was full analog cut?
I found the sticker on cover different,it without mp3 download,,is that same pressing with this ?
Just compared this to an early Canadian pressing, and I think the early pressing wins. In the intro to Moonchild and the quiet parts of Court, the early pressing gives me more cymbal decay and life like sound. More "depth" or reverb on the tom strikes and arpeggio acoustic guitar in Court. The difference is small enough that I'm compelled to have a friend assist me in a blind comparison. Not sure if I'm audio-phooling myself. This one is still very good, and definitely beats the 30th anniversary CD.
I can't compare side one as this 2010 pressing is floating above the edge of the platter, and I refuse to drop the stylus on a record when I can see that much daylight underneath it.
Edited 7 months agoThis is a killer repress of a legendary album, King Crimson at their best.
Sound stage is well defined, deep and detailed, if you are a fan of Prog then this is an essential album for your collection.
I get what TerryWatcher said about surface noise on side 2, but it is still a great record- Killer pressing! One of the best sounding records in my collection.
Edited one year agoSide one fine.
Side 2 a mess with surface noise and pops.
A few lock-grooves I had to scrub away at to get a play through.
I guess The press operator was having a toasted sandwich before breaktime.
amazing sound! Get if you can, you wont regret it
After growing up listening to my dad's prog records which weren't in the best condition, this release sounds absolutely fantastic! Can't recommend enough.
fantastic album, nice pressing, sounds excellent, the best for your buck.
