Tame Impala – Currents

Picked this up sealed from a local record store that had it preowned for a reasonable price considering how great this pressing sounds. Crystal clear sound and it’s such a nice pressing, slightly marbled and matches the album so well. Glad I picked it up for sure!

Mine sounds (and looks) fantastic. Nearly dead-quiet in the noise section. Pretty dynamic. Groovy, punchy bass as it should be.

I bought the Interscope color version from Amazon when it first came out and
it sounds awesome. I can't believe someone would return a record multiple times.
Vinyl is a love/hate relationship. You love it when you get a good one and hate it if it
has surface noise. Vinyl is imperfect..it's ridiculous to demand a perfect record everytime.
I own hundreds of LPs and most are from Europe. As a whole, they tend to sound a little better
than the US but there's no reason to pile up on the record companies here in the states.

Thanks Lowflyingowls for the comparison between Fiction and Interscope pressings. Ordered mine direct from Fiction Records. Side note I doubt the Interscope version is as bad as the 09' XL Pressings version of Devendra Banhart -Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon

My yellow LP's sticker is wildly off centre on both sides, almost in play region on side A. Anyone else have this or know if I can get a replacement from the record label?

(Great album.)

After listening to the EU version album twice once aloud and the second time with headphones, i had a shoot out with the U.S. Colored Pressing album and the U.S. Regular black vinyl. I found that European version is superior than the U.S. Versions The European version is louder, clearer and somewhat faster than the U.S. Version. (You can notice a difference on "Let It Happen") I had no warp or noise pop issues with the album, it played beautifully. It was expensive to import this version but it was worth it. In addition to the shoot out, I found that the regular black vinyl is slightly better than the U.S. Colored vinyl album, it is much warmer and brighter sounding than the colored version.I found no warp or noise issues with that one. In terms of weight, the EU version is most heavy, and in second was the regular black vinyl and 3rd was the colored vinyl. If you can afford it, buy the EU pressing and if your on a budget I'd recommend the regular black vinyl. Both are great, I would definitely avoid the U.S. Colored pressing, I found slight warp issues and some cracking issues on side b, and side c. I had returned the album twice and the third was decent than the rest, very disappointed for that pressing.
