Edited one month agoNice pressing; sounds energetic and lively, but a little thin on the bottom end. TP’s recordings are always done quite well, and this one is no exception.- Tom Petty never dissapoints,not with the Heartbreakers or solo,just an outstanding artist in every way,not a bad second in everything this guy did in his lifetime.I was very saddended when he passed away probably by a sort of a mistake.I will cherish his output till the day I die.
Great sounding vinyl. No hiss, fizz, snaps, crackles, or pops. Really good mix.
- This pressing sounds incredible. Instant smile when I played it for the first time.
Edited 3 years agoI agree with the comment about how well this record is mastered. You can crank this one, no problem. Good for system demo. Sound is fantastic.
This is a really well mastered LP. If you can get a clean copy for a reasonable price snag it
Mine says "We love you JL" in the wax on side 1. Too cool.
Slight variant on my pressing:
Matrix / Runout Side A MATCHES one variant listed here:
MCA 2445-SS11 EDP M1 SF1 SM4 WE LOVE YOU J.L. 2 STERLING GC
Side B does not match any here:
MCA 2446-SS11 EDP M1 SF1 SM9 STERLING GC (SM9 w/slash through the S)- The etching on Side 1 is their dedication to John Lennon.
