Reviews
- Really excellent album and a must to have in the vinyl collection. Brilliant artwork.
Looking forward to their next release "Bright Magic" coming on 24/09/2021.
Don't spend horrendous amounts on TCRVA02X release. PSB offers it in their own shop for a reasonable price at the moment.
https://www.musicglue.com/publicservicebroadcasting/products/the-race-for-space-vinyl - I will NEVER buy this album on CD! The record label has compressed the CD so they scarify sound quality in favor for low dynamic range and to get the desired higher and flat level.
Why paying a studio artists and engineers just to then when the recordlabel get the product they compress it before sending it out to the public. Maybe we can not handle great dynamics??!
I hope the LP is not treated like that. Some albums have greater dynamics on LP than the digital CD and that is that they do not compress the LP master.

Maybe somebody can put up a meassurement in the data base of the LP? Thanks in advance. :) 
My clear vinyl copy suffers from both the inner and outer sleeves being too tight.
It is impossible to remove the vinyl without it looking like it is going to push through the seam
Some folks seem to be having trouble identifying if they have unopened copies of the BLACK or CLEAR vinyl.
The sticker on the cellophane will help you. Catalogue number of TCRVA02X is the CLEAR; catalogue number of TCRVA02 is the BLACK.- Whilst the album itself is really good, this release suffers from a large amount of rumble: the black vinyl pressing is much clearer sounding.
