Sports will be repressed on limited-edition olive green and classic black. Release Date: 9/15/2023. https://shop.udiscovermusic.com/collections/huey-lewis-the-news

the pressing is clear and dead silent on most of the record. really love the sound. I was impressed that I got this for a few bucks here, used, and it sounds brand new. recommended.

Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

I have 2 copies of this album. One I know is one of the Club pressings but the other has 2 very different matrix runout.
Side A is (J-TR) FV-41412-A5 GID A G1 and side B is etched P FV 41412 BS P1 stamped STERLING.

I like this record! It takes me back to a fun time in my life. The record itself is mastered very well and sounds great! It's not like it gets played every day! Listening to it right now for the first time in probably 10 years. Thumbs Up here!
