As others said this sounds amazing! Mine is badly warped though. VMP sent me a replacement and it's even worse...
As other have stated, this sounds remarkably good. Wow, good.
I don't own any other pressings of this record, but I have listened to this album often on other formats (tape, CD, lossless streaming) over the years and this record really blew me away. I have never heard this album sound so good.
Incredible recording! Thank you VMP for once again making a great listening experience affordable.
This one's a winner. The cymbal crashes on 'Hell in a Bucket' startled me out of my damn chair. Glad to own this late era Dead album in such high fidelity.
I own several first pressings of this album and this version blows them away. Chris Bellman, no doubt.
Regarding the sleeves that VMP uses, I also hate them and I replace them with Vinyl Storage Solutions sleeves. I cut the hype sticker off the original and tuck it inside the new sleeve. Works great- Sounds fantastic, my vinyl is more blue but still a nice color.
Sounds great, but while the jacket is sturdier than my original the cover art is fuzzy like a low resolution pic compared to the original and card stock inner instead of poly lined. Again this definitely sounds amazing great separation between instruments.
Edited one month agoAs stated, outstanding sound. I will reiterate here that VMP should stop: 1. Using cardboard sleeves, they are so difficult and 2. Might be just me but I hate their seal top outer sleeves, not easy to reuse with the album. If it weren’t for the hype sticker I’d trash them
Sounds excellent, looks rad. Worth scooping for the $27 member price.
