BadBadNotGood – III

Phenomenal pressing. Unfortunate that some others seems to have received bad copies in the past, but the one I just purchased new (arrived unsealed in outer sleeve with album sticker from UK) sounds really amazing. The vinyl is dead silent, flat, and dynamic. The bass on this release is unreal. Highly recommended!

message me if youre looking to sell the black/white rough trade press

Fantastic blend of jazz and hip hop beats. Great sounding pressing.

I'm wanting to know if this is 33 or 45?

Great album but one of the worst pressings in my collection. Absolutely full of non-fill which gives off an audible static sound during each pass. Very disappointing.

This album is really good, but the vinyl is not top of the range. For a newish vinyl I’ve come to lower my expectations for sound quality. And good that I did because the highs here aren’t great and generally the mid varies quite a lot. The cymbal crashes on Kaleidoscope tires my ears.

The double LP is on eBay for auction right now.

Great album. Spotty pressing. My disc one plays pretty quiet. But disc 2, side 3, the last track has a loud tick during the fadeout. A replacement copy yields the same. Really annoying since it's such a sublime mellow track.

Can owners confirm whether their copies do this?

The Good: My copy is super quiet, realistic and have good sound, the drums and bass seem to be in the room, and it have good presence and definition.
The bad: The cymbals are harsh and distorted in the highest spectrum, the bass is muddy at times, and the sound loses definition in the loudest parts and when all the instruments are played at the same time.
The quality control is terrible, it came open, both records came with scratches and tamper marks, which fortunately do not affect the sound. The plastic outer sleeve also came with strange markings. I bought it in Juno by the way.

Question: My copy is a gatefold and the first cover was glued shut. Both discs were squeezed into the back cover.

Did anyone else get a copy like this? I pushed the glue apart with my hand (making folds in the process) but alas, I don't feel comfortable leaving a disc in there with dried glue on either side.

Very strange. It came in a sealed shut fold over sleeve (2mm I'd say) with an advertising sticker. It also came with a download card that looks like a gift card (plastic w album art as the print).

It was supposed to be new and factory sealed. It was a gift so I don't know where it came from.
