Reviews
Edited 3 months agoInitially bought the CD copy of this album, and enjoyed it so much that I bought the vinyl. All I can say is WOW, the vinyl sound quality blows the CD mastering out of the water, beautiful pop and click free sound, and bags of separation, with lots of sounds not even noticeable on the CD. One of the best vinyl pressings I have. Perfect.- Very clear sound, pristine quality, very pretty colours on the record
Mine had a slight warp. Very minor pops after cleaning. Beautifully colored vinyl.
My copy had a bit of a dish wrap, but with the standard clamp that came with my table, it was not an issue. Otherwise, the record played noise free with no clicks or pops to be found.
Edited 11 months agoGreat album ruined by lots of pops even after a physical and ultrasonic clean. Hopefully a second copy is a better.
Second copy is more tolerable. Side B much better than A. Still not a quiet pressing but listenable.
Edited one year agoEl album es maravilloso, pero esta es otra decepción de Crowded House en vinilo. Mucho ruido de fondo, lleno de clics y pops. Creo que suena mucho mejor en streaming. Una verdadera lastima- Awesome press. Clear, loud, bags of separation. Top top notch mastering. Sound quality is out of this world. Loving this.
