Some highs in the instuments and Axl's voice sound to loud and piercing.
Also the highs tend to be louder on the left channel. Tested it on several setups and with different headphones. Overall not as satisfying as the AudioCD.
They credited Izzy Stradlin as Strandin' for the writing credit on Pretty Tied Up. Top stuff.- My copy sounds fine, like it's no audiophile record but it's not advertised as such. Needed a clean to be sure, but I've got no complaints with my copy. Granted I don't have an OG to compare against, but in the absence of that reference, this sounds fine.
Record sounds terrible, like a fake with pops and crackle while fresh out of the factory seal. I'm AMAZED this is official. If it's a gift to your dad or something I would recommend it, but if you're an enthusiast please don't bother with this. I'll be looking for the original,
hi guys the Last edition of this record, the lacquer cut is made by RKS at sterling mastering but only the LP2 , the LP1 is not the same master , if someone sell this vinyl with RSK in both LP in Mint Condition or like new I'm interested. Thanks
I think this pressing isn’t very good, the bass is weak and just not really a good master. Get an original if you want better sound.
There is some noticeable surface noise on my copy, but doesn’t seem as noticeable during the music. Actually sounds pretty good. Worth $20, but I wouldn’t say there is anything special about the sound overall.
Edited 5 years agoActually pissed "Estranged" has groove deep abrasions causing a dirt pop and about 2-3 skips, this is the one song I was looking forward to. "Don't Cry" and "You Could Be Mine" are screechy for lack of better description.- This pressing sounds very nice indeed. As good as I've ever heard the album. The inlays pic above has a blue background but mine is white, which is identical to the B2B version from 2008. Now if only they'd release a 2 disc version of Appetite for Destruction.
Edited 5 years agoI have almost the same version
But the matrix numbers are:
