Reviews
- This is a tale of two records. The first record (Caribou) sounds great. Excellent dynamic range, quiet pressing, and detailed sound stage. The second record (bonus tracks) is a mess. It does not adhere to the same audio standards as the proper Caribou album. The extended version of Stinker is awful. Elton's vocals are almost inaudible, buried beneath a cacophony of sound. The good news is that the Caribou album never sounded better on vinyl.
Vinili perfettamente dritti, bello il colore, suono eccelso, un disco bellissimo e con le bonus track ancora meglio!
it would have been nice to have an alternate take or two of "Don't Let the Sun..." rather than some of the sub par ones included.
My copy sounds great. I think I detected a little bit of crackle only on "I've Seen The Saucers" (Side 2, Trk 1). Otherwise, it sounds great, very detailed, clear and dynamic. The blue vinyl is quite nice.
The mix on Stinker Extended is awful? You can barely hear the vocals at all. Absolutely baffled.- Edited one year agoWas anyone else expecting one disc to be a leopard skin print? Promo photos indicated as such.
Blessedly this pressing is a gem! I was worried of the pressing plant, the color as well. It sounds fantastic! Dynamic. Flat. The bonus material is great! Including some favorite b-sides and Stinker Extended is fantastic! Quite chuffed with it all around. I do wish it included a download (as I wish last years RSD of "Don't Shoot Me..." had as well). Sorry to hear others pressing are not so tidy!
Sounds good when it isn't clicking ore emulating a scratch (which has happened seven times just on side 1). A friend queued for 4 hours to get this for me and this is what I get?. So utterly fed up of this - shit pressing plant quality control despite charging a fortune. Same thing happened with the green vinyl "Tumbleweed Connection" that I paid a small fortune for from America - sealed and pristine looking but full of crackle and clicks.- Edited one year agoNice touch: the handwritten sentence, 'This album is dedicated to the lads in gold and black' on the spine
- Great sounding with good dynamics ( as with all his remastered reissues) and the bonus tracks are interesting with a good extended version of Stinker. Also flat, quiet and a nice colour.
