Reviews
- Incredible sounding hot-wax, so 3-dimensional & lifelike it's as though Leonard is 'right there' ya dig? Vinyl on my copy is whisper-quiet as well...
- The songs ... as deep as it can get. Once I have it on the turntable I cannot stop listening to it over and over again. The album sucks be up completely.
- I've compared the Europe vs 3 US pressings and the European copy comes out a long way ahead - MUCH less surface noise and better separation.
Amazingly emotional recording...a must. - Good lord this sounds good. Silent wax. Leonard's voice cuts through like gravel (in a good way). Sounds like he's playing right in front of you! You can't really argue with anything really. Bernie Grundman mastering, RTI press. It's a win
- Edited 2 years agobad pressing - distorted layers in the intro, later tics and imperfections. I say this w bleeding heart: get the CD.
- When I bought it, just after it came out, I could hardly listen to this album, because of its dark mood. Now, with some distance, I can concentrate on the quality of the songs. And there are quite a few strong compositions. Tasteful arrangements, too.
The sound quality is very good, very transparent, Cohen's voice is close, as several others observed. I was lucky with my pressing, it is quiet and except very few of tiniest little crackles (only audible at higher volume on good equipment), nearly perfect. I don't worry about dirt: after two rounds in my Gläss ultrasonic cleaner any possible dirt is gone. - Edited 3 years agoMy copy is perfect in every way. Perhaps I was lucky...It has good sound with no noise.The dynamics are good.The voice is very deep and all the instruments sound like playing front of you.
- I rate a release, not the music. Nice print, but the quality of pressing is very bad. Hissing in right channel during whole album. Lots of micro-pops. Very noisy mass. Very disappointed with this pressing of an excellent album.
