Reviews
Sound quality is very nice especially given the price and accessibility of this pressing. One issuse I have always had is how much of a fingerprint magnet the cover is though.
This is definitely the best budget-friendly option but my original UK quadrophonic pressing (which I found for a great price) blows this out of the water. This is also great if you don't want to wear out your original copy.
Edited 9 months agoYou are right to buy it and listen to it, but if anyone wants to have a few more copies (that they sound the way they should sound) of this "Holy Grail" of rock music, I also recommend purchasing the 5th pressing by H. Moss, definitely among the best sounding copies of pure analog sound.
If this vinyl is cleaned properly before playing, it sounds bloody good! After getting this, I havnt even attempted to upgrade because it doubt if it can get better. Have seen several videos online which says this one is right up there amongst the best sounding DSOTM. For this price it’s unbeatable
Edited one year agoBought brand new sealed from an independent seller. Got a very noisy copy with a lot of visible round spots on it (which doesn't goes away after several cleanings). The mastering sounds a tad bit sharp sounding, especially in the upper-mids/low treble (borderline distorted on some passages) and the presentation sounds a bit 2D to my ears. It's not a bad presentation by any means, but I'm curious to compare it with some other pressings in terms of mastering... Anyway, probably just no luck with this crappy copy 2/5
Great record, great sound and a very nice remaster and cut from Bernie Grundman. This is hands down the best of the Remasters of the new albums.
Threw my original pressing in the bin after hearing this one (metaphorically, not literally). Much better sound on this.
Edited one year agoI cannot believe how crystal this sounds, and powerful.. genuinely amazed at what's possible with vinyl.
Wow just just just just just just just just WOW!- Wow. What an amazing pressing and remaster! Honestly up there with some of my Blue Note records. This one is a keeper.
