Maybe there is gonna be a later restock or it’s indeed very limited.
Waiting for my order to get shipped 🤞 - Edited 7 days agoPhenomenal sound on this although I can hear some non-fill on the second side. The music does cut through it for the most part.
Better sounding than my 1972 UK repress so I’m happy.
Equipment:
Fluance RT85 w/ Ortofon 2M Blue
ifi Zen Phono Preamp
Denon 600 amp
Monitor Audio Bronze 2 speakers - Just bought this and it sounds fantastic to my ears (it’s also flat and quiet). It’s a pretty impressive package for the price. It’s a gatefold with poly-lined inner and even comes with the booklet. I have to say I’m very impressed with these Rhino reissues.
- I bought a second copy of this from the same store after the first copy, cleaned both but still had a some hissing and more abrasive pops on the second side especially at the beginning Long Distance Runaround, it feels like a pressing problem so I wanna know if other people are having this too, the stores I buy from are very lenient with returns so it's easy to return this second one as well, but if this is a unique problem to the store I'd like buying one from B&N, just don't want to if it's a pressing issue, besides the noise the music sounds amazing though
- I have the original 1972 Richmond pressing LP, the 2015 Steven Wilson remaster and the 2023 clear vinyl remaster. Tonight I played the disks back to back, latest to earliest. The remasters definitely have a brighter sound, instrument separation is more defined and are brilliant. But the original after a thorough cleaning sounds warmer. It’s a little muddier but of course it’s 50 years old! This is most notable on the reprise of “We Have Heaven” ending Side 2. But I love all three! p.s. the 2023 release’s accompanying 8 page booklet is on more substantial and impressive paper stock than the previous edition’s.
- Fantastic and I do mean FANTASTIC pressing. You can hear every instrument clear as a bell.
That being said, DO NOT PAY CROOKS TRYING TO FLIP THIS. Saying something is “out of print” that’s only been out a couple weeks is a joke. $24.99 plus shipping at Barnes and Noble!! - Wowzah! I have two original US Atlantics and the blu ray. I like them all for different reasons but this thing siiiiings and is an amazing value for $24! Recommended!
