Reviews
Edited one year agoBy far and away the nicest Kranky release I have in the dozens of releases from this label in my collection. This album is one of my favourites, and always loved the original sound and packaging - even if it had its faults as all Kranky pressings seem to have... But this reissue is something special. The packaging is glossy, the artwork is rearranged and updated though fits with the original idea of the album artwork. The inner sleeves are a beautiful black and poly-lined to boot. The vinyl itself is shiny and nearly perfect, but not a click or pop on my copy. The sound itself should require a whole other review, but suffice to say as a fan of this album for so long it is amazing to hear what else has been lurking on those 4-track tapes all these years. Thanks, Mr. Kranky! Job well done!- Edited 6 years agoPressing is very off centre. Some sides unlistenable because of loud pops that cannot be cleaned away
