Recommendations
Reviews
- This pressing is so much enjoyable to listen to! The sound is powerful and penetrating, a real treat!
- Bought this in 2020 thinking it was the current reissue. I was unaware of the 2015/2019 debacle at the time thinking it was a repress. Luckily, I got the 2015 cut! Had it been sitting in the shop for years? It has some light rash marks that dnap and the overall sound is glorious! (I have bought some other World Circuit albums brand new with vinyl rash... weird!) As others have said, if you want the 2015 - be sure to check the matrix and that it mentions analogue tape on the hype sticker! This is not a valuable or rare pressing but it should be the one you get if you want to hear it the best it can be.
- Soooo good! If you're thinking about it, just buy it. This pressing is clear, warm, and alive, a wonderful presentation of this great music.
- Edited one year agoOverall sounded amazing, although B1/C1 we're very clicky, but very warm and analog sounding; made a 1Bit DSD 5.6Mhz copy!
- As some reviews have mentioned, buyer beware: this 2015 release has the exact same barcode and catalog number as the 2019 release.
If you are specifically looking for an analogue cut you want the 2015 press. The 2019 was indeed cut from a Bernie Grundman source and sounds great but was not analogue in nature.
*Quote from this reviewer who reached out to World Circuit for explanation: "They confirmed via email that the masters were recently re-cut by original mastering engineer Bernie Grundman from high resolution digital versions of the original tapes, with digitization overseen by the album's original mixer and recording engineer."
Just a heads up, I see some reviews from dissatisfied buyers thinking they purchased the 2015 and received the 2019. Easiest way to tell if it has not been opened or shrink is still intact is the hype sticker. The 2015 specifically states on the sticker "...from the original analogue master tapes" whereas the 2019 does not. Also, the 2019 on the back cover to the left of the barcode will have a text block in white text noting Made In Germany. Further, if opened and sellers can see the labels, the 2015 states Made in EU on the labels and 2019 reads Made in Germany. There's also a run-out etching difference between the two (see discogs note section and compare both).
Happy turntabling to all and to all a good night! - Magnífica edición en todos los sentidos. acústicamente notable. Muy buena prensada. Se va al apartado de mi colección de prensados/ediciones notables.
- Outstanding mastering / pressing - though record had a lot of scuffs / marks, however no playback issues. Excellent artwork / packaging. Another winner from BG.
