Reviews
- I would not be surprised if this is the only copy of this masterpiece I will ever need to own. Absolutely glorious, you haven’t heard all this album has to offer if you haven’t heard this original press.
- Just read William and Jim's book and reckoned it was time to revisit their LP's. If you haven't already it's a great read.
- This is one of my favorite albums. I currently have a US pressing, the hi-res dualdisc, and now this pressing - which is easily the best. To echo the other comment, the top end isn’t as harsh and there is a lot more clarity on the whole. The guitars really shine on this pressing compared to any other version I’ve heard. Highly recommended.
- Direct comparison to the 1987 US pressing https://www.discogs.com/release/11053225-The-Jesus-And-Mary-Chain-Darklands :
This Europe - R/S Alsdorf - pressing is fuller, with a clear but less harsh top end. Highly recommended. - Edited 4 years ago... ‘ and I’m happy when it rains ‘ - brilliant and very fitting seeing as they are from Glasgow ( well East Kilbride to be precise ) but the weather really can be sh@@ up here. We’re drowning most summers while all you sun baked insouciant southerners are peeling yourself off the sunloungers. Still, at least the tap water’s fresh.
Great album. April skies another highlight. Toss up between Pyschocandy and this for best The JAM C album... five years later however sometimes always ( with Mazzy Star’s Hope Sandoval ) popped out and that was 2 and a half minutes of total perfection👌
