Mac DeMarco – Salad Days

This album sounds fantastic. Dynamic and weighty in all of the right ways. Great mix, and great pressing.

Clear sounding and perfectly flat pressing, very silent, decent mastering overall.

Superb soundstage and cut with this OG! I have not heard all of the represses that came after this one but considering this is the 1st press and sounds excellent you might as well seek this one out

This pressing sounds alright! Nothing to write home about, but it's definitely not bad sounding. I have heard better but good to pick up if you already don't have this one in your collection.

Shot in the dark, looking to buy just the poster.

Great pressing done by Captured tracks. Lead guitars shine through the mix, overall lush sound. Sound is best experienced on “Passing Out Pieces”

it's a very great pressing. captured did an amazing job

I’m just here to say that this record sounds damn nice. It’s a simple production, but the bass is tight, the guitar shimmers, and the vocals sound present. Great soundstage, too.

Coming back and reviewing this album is a treat. You almost forget how easy to listen to and good it is. Pressing wise its pretty top notch with low surface noise and pops. Really inaudible during tracks. Although there was one song that has some background noise in it, probably picked up in the recording of the song itself, which is going to need a remaster or re recording to fix it. Mastering wise its great. The string instruments have that extra bling to them and Macs voice sings a thread through them without being sibilant or unpleasent to the ear. On a side note this is probably the biggest jacket sleeve I have seen. It almost doesn't fit in my protective plastic one. But it includes nice printed on pictures and a poster. And I love that the inner sleeve has lyrics on the back, the only drawback is that its not lined in plastic.
One of Macs more complete releases.

Equipment used:
Rega RP1 with Nagaoka MP-110 Cartridge
Cyrus 2 Amplifier
System Fidelity SF-3050 Tower Speakers
Custom made HQ Speaker Cables

Amazing album and an amazing package!

It's a bit sad that the rest of Mac's album arn't of this packaging quality. You have a poster, the cover opens up... the poster is placed in one of thise spots while the vinyl is in the other spot so it's easy to get the vinyl in & out... and the Vinyl cover has the lyrics on them. Really really cool!

About the music... I first found out about Mac in December 2014 with the song Chamber of Reflection, however this year I decided to listen to the whole album... and imediatly found out that I like Brother & Let Her Go.

In Feburary I also decided to buy the Vinyl and ... so I got to listen even more to this album.

It's the type of album that really works well on vinyl. You just put in on and chill :)
