Standalone repress of the 2012 cut, originally used for The Studio Albums box. Released on 180g vinyl (not mentioned on the release). Cut at Metropolis ('M' logo in the runouts). No "ABBEY ROAD" in the runouts.
Similar editions: My Generation: "ABBEY ROAD" in the runouts (another 2015 edition). My Generation: "ABBEY ROAD" in the runouts but with longer runouts / different runout format.
Runouts are stamped except for the 'M' logo and "MILES", which are etched.
Mine sounds perfectly fine, yeah it's not the best probably, but still. Don't know if they fixed the problems on the later pressings of this? I bought mine over a year ago.
Does this pressing use the same mastering as the version found in The Studio Albums box set from 2012? I presume it does, hence "repress" in the description.
sounds fairly dark, the bass and drum specially sound as if they are in another room (the bass sounds like that the most, almost no definition, all bloated), the guitar sounds sometimes (when there's a bridge or solo) as if it's about to clip, if you don't mind these issues i can recommend it, very little soft clicks every now and then, which is also not great but not too bad, no pops or louder stuff. The 180gr of wax is nice too.
A rather poor pressing. The sound is not consistent throughout - some tracks have a little bass, others completely lack low frequencies. Some tracks sound clipped and elsewhere the sound is clear.
I dont know what all those "remastering" engineers do or where they learned to hear.. This is called Beat Music but its mastered to dead with a lack of those wild deep basslines and heavy drums you want to hear.. Trying to get hold on some of the records that my parents used to have when i was a child, i will turn to buying used copies of the old releases instead of keep on buying this dull sounding shit..
