Arthur Russell – Another Thought

My Copy has the correct 'Lucky Cloud' track sequence ...luckily ; or else i would have felt compelled to return it.
Didn't detect any bass/ volume problems on side C.
Overall, the pressing sounds great ! Clear and beautiful.
My main gripe is with the packaging. Non gate-fold cover with two identical inner sleeves. No Download card !
A bit too minimal considering the high price.
The cover is raw cardboard with a fibrous texture and unfortunately they've put an ugly barcode sticker on the back, which i cannot remove without damage to the cardboard cover.
Aside from all that complaining, i'm happy to have this on vinyl and it sounds excellent.

Guess I was On A Lucky Cloud with my copy: no volume/bass problems on side C (sounds absolutely similar to all other sides) and correct Lucky Cloud / Return versions in their respective places. Generally, I’m not a fan of new artwork on reissues but this one somehow works. Not sure why the label went for 33 rpm (could’ve easily been 45), and identical inner sleeves seem a bit puzzling but hey — it’s great this one ended up pressed on wax after all!

side C not as loud, maybe because it has 20 minutes of material on it, say bye bye to base after 6 minutes, this is ok, I mean everyone knows Arthur had a ton of unreleased material, too bad he wasn't able to sell this stuff while he was alive

is this a bootleg or official?

I have to disagree with all of you. The cuts on here aren't too hot. This issue could have easily been a three-sided release with an etching on the fourth side, a single LP, or (ideally) a double LP at 45 RPMs. Granted, the sound is clear.

Looking forward for more from Arc Light Editions

Very excited about this release - but - was wondering if anybody found side C to sound not as hot as the rest of the sides? Certain highend parts (especially with the vocals) a little distorted and fuzzy? Everything else sounds top notch, so it was surprising to have this - I thought maybe there was some dust on my needle when it first started, but no. Did a comparison with the cd and found those 4 tracks to actually sound nicer on the cd... just my copy of the vinyl somehow??

Anybody else got 'lucky cloud return' as track 4 and track 10, rather than 'lucky cloud' as track 4 and 'lucky cloud return' as track 10 on the vinyl?

also have the issue of Lucky Cloud Return on both discs, rather than Lucky Cloud and Lucky Cloud Return.

This is an amazing pressing. Way better than listening to the point cd. Superlative.
