Reviews
- A bit disappointed with this one on first removal from the cellophane when I noticed a bit of a tear to the top of the outer sleeve. Stuck on side A and my immediate thought was that it was a bit muffled albeit the vocals were clear. This was not the case on every track and currently I'm on side C and everything is good albeit I've turned up the volume a bit. It does say to do so on the first inner sleeve.
I am very sorry but this remaster is god awful. RS might well be one of the greats; perhaps decades of playing live hasn't been kind to his hearing?
The RS remaster - as with Disintegration and Wish - is muddy as hell (that mid-bass boost he loves) adversely impacting clarity and perception of everything else: dynamics, air, timbre, soundstage.
For the record, I thought his remaster was bearable on parts of Disintegration (some songs were better served by the remaster than the famed US DMM promo cut, which I also own). However, on Wish and Show we just have a very poor sounding and congested release that undermines the music. The performances might be great, but the sonics are poor.
I A/B'd 'Fascination Street' on 'Show' with 'Fascination Street' on my UK original pressing of 'Entreat' - again, I wish I had something different to report, but the RS remasters are poor, there's no getting around it.
Sounds great! Really separates the vocals and Pearls guitar work is superb! No play back issues, discs nice and flat (no dish/warp) inner sleeves are fine (not wafer thin as implied by the entry info) reasonable quality paper etc. Open it, put it on loud and enjoy!
Edited 14 days agoHaven‘t even opened it yet and I already do not like what I see:
- it’s pressed at GZ Media (stickered „Made in Czech Republic“)
- poor print resolution of the sleeve, it has obviously been scanned and scaled
- the original print with the matte and glossy surface finish of specific elements has not been reproduced
- flimsy and cheap paper quality of both the jacket and the additional litho print
Luckily, I also have the original pressing. Highly disappointed by the look and feel of this reissue. This will most likely be staying sealed in my collection.
Does anyone know any information regarding where the record is pressed?
