	posted a review of Ultravox - Extended. 4 months ago And to add, the review versions did not have the issue so it was a matter of inadequate version control with the master.
	posted a review of Ultravox - Extended. 4 months ago Yeah. It’s a mastering error that somehow made it through to the pressings.
	submitted Japan - Obscured Alternatives. 4 months ago
	posted a review of Dexys* - The Feminine Divine. 4 months ago Boring blue rather than the lovely turquoise blue in the adverts. It was also advertised as coming with a signed print only to receive an email from Universal the day before it arrived to say words to the effect of 'no signed print, Kevin's signed...

	posted a review of Ultravox - Quartet. 5 months ago zevulon. Horses for courses: there are plenty of people that value the 7” versions as well so to call it ‘retarded’ is somewhat naive. And what vinyl recordings were used for ‘Extended’? Do you have any evidence of or justification for that? It... See full review
	posted a review of Ultravox - Quartet. 5 months ago To date all of the deluxe editions have featured the single versions on the second record. The 12" versions were included on the 'Extended' vinyl release. This is the label trying to offer as much variety as possible. But, the tracklistings were... See full review
	posted a review of Ultravox - Quartet. 5 months ago zevulon I could add as is but, being away from home, I can't check the matrices or photograph them and I can't recall what stamper went to press the production run off the top of my head so waiting for this release to be complte is a delaying...

	posted a review of Ultravox - Quartet. 5 months ago From memory, all the UK 12" labels state 7:58, regardless of the actual track length - happy to be corrected if there are some that state the shorter length. In the UK, the 7:58 edit was only released on the clear vinyl 12" and remained that way... See full review
	posted a review of Ultravox - Quartet. 5 months ago Which seller did you get it from - if Chrysalis aren't aware I will pass on the info.
	posted a review of Ultravox - Quartet. 5 months ago Admittedly that is a pain that isn't evident on the samples produced (check the video on FB of Midge Ure opening his) - are they catching at the top & bottom or on the sides? I recorded my TPs and listen to those now so will keep my copy of the... See full review
	posted a review of Ultravox - Quartet. 5 months ago I'm not sure what you are talking about but this is the 7:38 mix of We Came To Dance (the longer 7:58 mix was included on the Extended release and so we made a decision to include the shorter version here). Remastering aside, the version used is... See full review
	posted a review that has since been deleted. 6 months ago
	posted a review of Love And Rockets - Seventh Dream Of Teenage Heaven. 6 months ago I guess so since that is apparently all that exists according to comments made by Neil Wilkes for the Blu Ray release.
	posted a review of Love And Rockets - Seventh Dream Of Teenage Heaven. 6 months ago I have to say that this is one of the very best sounding discs I have ever heard...and I've heard a lot. Apart from a little rumble during the run in on both sides there is almost no noise at all. It's dynamic and just....great. All the Arkive... See full review
	posted a review of The Prodigy - Firestarter (Andy C Remix). 6 months ago Sounds great. Also sounded great at 33 the first time I played it until Flint started singing.....
	posted a review of Garbage - Witness To Your Love. 6 months ago I'd prefer 12" though have plenty of their 7" history myself. Just some physical product that isn't an over-mastered mess that hurts these old ears.
	posted a review of Garbage - Witness To Your Love. 6 months ago Quality bit of plastic. Some noise on the run in to side A but that stops well before the song. Otherwise is clean & dynamic throughout. 'Cities In Dust'.....well, blow my cotton socks off. What a stunning cover: true enough to the original but... See full review
	posted a review of Belinda Carlisle - Remixes. 6 months ago Disc 1 sounds fine....disc 2 hopelessly warped. Sounds like Fascination! by The Human League.
	posted a review of David Bowie - The World Of David Bowie. 7 months ago With that cover image, no way is this from 1970.
	posted a review of Robert Fripp - Exposures. 8 months ago In the process of ripping my blu rays now. Disc 26 (the second BR) has an issue with 00025.m2ts and can't be ripped properly on my system (2022 MacBook, Ventura, MakeMKV 1.17.1, LG GGW-H20L) Has any one else had luck with this file?
	posted a review of Ben Hillier. 8 months ago Decent producer creating the three best DM albums of the 21st Century. Ignore the fanboys that still can't cope with Alan's departure.
	posted a review of David Bowie - ★ (Blackstar). 9 months ago Of course he was alive: the record was released two days before his death and he oversaw everything.
	posted a review of Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) (Re-Recorded - Sped Up). 9 months ago Is this track an early April Fool? A sped-up version of the song just like when you put an album on at 45rpm by mistake....
	posted a review of Echo & The Bunnymen - Evergreen. 10 months ago Record is flat but with quite a lot of surface noise and some damage across much of side A where something has dragged across the disc, even after an ultrasonic zapping.. Wasn't able to get a replacement at the time since sold out and - rightly or... See full review
	posted a review of Tubeway Army - Tubeway Army. 10 months ago Sound is generally OK - as far as I can tell - but disc is quite badly warped. Serves me right for braving HMV to buy it and running the gauntlet of 75p sleeves to 'protect my collection', £5 bags advertising HMV for them and the, surely heartfelt,... See full review
	submitted Tim Bowness - Butterfly Mind. 10 months ago
	posted a review of The Sisterhood - Gift. 10 months ago You would have thought labels would have learned by now that dark-coloured discs are not always compatible with red-book compatible players, whether those players are themselves high, medium or low quality. Of the five red-book compliant drives in my... See full review
	posted a review of Iggy Pop - Every Loser. 11 months ago Sio....do you like it or not? [more more more words]
	posted a review of Iggy Pop - Every Loser. 11 months ago tphillips80 Don't let the flippers rip you off ! Paid $21 for this album from the website. In the UK & Europe the price from the official shop is equivalent to $40 or more so we get fleeced even if pressed here. Every. Single. Time.
	posted a review of Various - Punk. 12 months ago Warners.......hopeless at anything that is even remotely connected to the actual music...
	posted a review of Depeche Mode - Never Let Me Down Again (Split Mix). 12 months ago Snap - have two different copies with the different matrices and they are both fine.
	submitted Ultravox - Vienna. about 1 year ago
	posted a review of Ultravox - Vienna. about 1 year ago Thank you for clarifying - as Zevulon says, easy to get confused with comments on comments on comments.
	submitted Ultravox - Rage In Eden (Steven Wilson Stereo Mix). about 1 year ago
	posted a comment on The Specials. about 1 year ago FYI That's actually a 'misprint' rather than a 'mispress' :-)
	submitted Frank Black And The Catholics - One More Road For The Hit. about 1 year ago
	posted a review of The Muppets - The Muppet Christmas Carol. about 1 year ago Very disappointing print quality on the disc itself and the front cover generally: it seems that a relatively low res image has been blown up to fit. The back cover print is fine. Clearly couldn't be arsed to find the original art or an old copy of... See full review
	posted a review of Ultravox - Rage In Eden. about 1 year ago I believe 1500 but cannot confirm. More words more words......
	posted a review of Japan - Exorcising Ghosts. about 1 year ago The print is separate and not held within the seal.
	posted a review of Go West - Go West. about 1 year ago Chrysalis do get knowledgeable fans in on their releases. I work on some of them and I know there were fans involved on this one.
	submitted Ultravox - Rage In Eden. about 1 year ago
	posted a review of Ultravox - Rage In Eden (Deluxe Edition). about 1 year ago As fortyfabio says, 'Penteo' (to give its correct name) was used to create upmixes for the two tracks and there is precedent for this with other surround releases where multis are missing. It's a shame but it is an effort to create the best... See full review
	posted a review of Ultravox - Rage In Eden (Deluxe Edition). about 1 year ago The multis for The Voice and I Remember could not be located. And the live CD timing was a tight fit!

	posted a comment on Ultravox - Lament. about 1 year ago It's neither exclusive to this disc (available on several Ultravox compilations) and nor is it the same as either of the Razormaid mixes.
