Recently acquired a copy, I agree with the comments below, very, very good pressing, warmth and excellent 3D soundstage.

Red Rain - PG and KB is sublime to listen to and enjoy .

I had a Classic Records 200 gram Quiex-SVP vinyl press a few years back, the pressing had hiss between track but otherwise was great. This pressing is silent between tracks and overall certainly betters my UK 1st which has some sibilance.

Buy and enjoy!

Does Red Rain sound slower to anyone else, or just me?
Andrewslattery Jan 21, 2022
Unbelievable pressing!!!! Warm, 3D sound, massive amounts of bass and low end. The pressing is also incredible. One of the most silent records I've ever heard straight out of the sleeve without a clean. Easily as quiet as super vinyl. Even in headphones there is zero noise between tracks

Oh por Dios, esto suena genial. No fue necesario alzar todo mi volumen, el tono es simplemente perfecto. Parece que estuviera escuchando a un artista nuevo, ¡pero es de los 80s! Recomiendo esta versión, es buenísima.

I love this pressing! A big warm drum sound which highlights this great piece of work.

Sounds nice, but still with the '80s sheen and likely digital. A good buy at 20 bucks.

Wow does this pressing sound killer, everything to Peter's vocals to the drum symbols just sound so so crisp and pronounced. And this pressing is so cheap to buy aswell. Do not hesitate to buy this pressing you definitely won't regret it!.

Does anybody know which plant did this pressing?
I'm curios to know as it is not mentioned in the wealth of information provided.
Thanks.

Excellent pressing. The low end for a 33 1/3 pressing is very impressive. Deep but not bloated. Sound stage is superb too.

I paid less than 15 Euro for my copy in a local shop. For the price this pressing is very impressive. It would most definitely qualify as audiophile to me and I have a good system installed at home. The dynamics are crazy !!! I compared this to an early Japan CD pressing I have in my collection and the difference when playing Big Time is epic. If this pressing sounds this good, I truly wonder how good the 2 x 45 RPM release of the same album must sound like ? I only wish it wasn't so rare and expensive. [ Playing this using an Ortofon 2M Black cartridge ]
