Should have done your research. The Rumour were Graham Parker’s backing group for years. You probably wont like his stuff either. But thanks for coming in here and showing us all how dumb you are.

It’s just that Dutch vinyl was markedly inferior to UK equivalents. Bit like their cigarettes ;)
|
|
Totally agree. In the same way the The Smiths ‘Hatful of Hollow’ is listed as a compilation. This is a mash up of songs from their first album with singles/B-sides added.

It sounds exactly the same as the in-store record we got at the time and which now resides in my collection alongside this version. I suspect the US releases were all recorded this way.

Twin Peaks’esque. Beautiful sound on this original pressing. Words words

Update…….Seems as though pressings issues are attributable to the repress. My first pressing (1-) is immaculate, however my friends repress is anything but.

This I believe will be considered a cult classic in years to come. Hedvig’s genius as both musician and composer has been exposed on this slab of vinyl.

Is this sourced from the original tapes, or the CD?
|
|
Beautiful music, fabulous sound reproduction and gorgeous presentation. A real collector’s item.
|
|
Oh dear me. You really have no clue do you?

Hard to find when first released (thank Jah for good reggae shops in Leicester). This record is the soundtrack of Thatcher Britain.
|
|
Killer heavy dub. By the time of this release Shaka had really honed his sound with razor sharp players and sweet sound production.
|
|
Yeah, my maroon edition is flawless. Great sonics too. Love this truly avant-garde uk jazz collective’s interpretation overseen by Miles’ family.
|
|
Maybe I got lucky because my copy is fabulous. Not a trace of unwanted noise and gorgeous sonics. (Parasound Halo, Rega 8, MC cart)

Currently in stock at Amazon.uk for around €25. And the best $25 I’ve spent recently. I don’t know quite how they’ve done it, but this is significantly better sounding than the 2006 version which I have now traded in. It’s a dead quiet pressing, flat...

Worth owning for this blistering version of Take 5. A hidden gem.

Fabulous audio and presentation. As is usually the case with Japanese pressings. Highly recommended.

The Japanese pressing is the ultimate. Miles better than the US. There is also the bonus poster - big, beautiful, monochrome.
|
|
Yes, this is a really good mono version. Highly recommended.

My favorite Jamal record. The playing is first class, and this is a great recording. Edit: my copy has the club sticker on the back.

Impulse! You gotta do better. Maybe you are more concerned with the bottom line than giving your artistes the best presentation possible. The mix is is quite bass heavy and there are times where it overpowers Younger’s harp. As to the quality of the...

Stunningly good sound. It’s not often I have to turn down the amp’s volume, but this one is so loud, open and highly detailed. Every breath, pluck and rattle is faithfully reproduced. Did I mention the bass? As good as it gets.

Brilliant stuff. Even better than their killer first LP. Thank you for making this a double album. Lovely production and great sounds. Flammer is da shit!

Bought this in London. It’s a beauty. Caught Shabaka’s show at the Globe theatre annex a couple of weeks ago. 15 flutes and two harpists. Magical night. Two days later it was the other end of the spectrum with Comet is Coming. This man is a modern genius.

This should not be allowed on Discogs. Unlicensed and unfair

Verve really needs to do better with the quality of their vinyl pressings.
|
|
I just put this on again and felt compelled to post here on the superb quality of this pressing. Just utterly fabulous, and I have a very demanding stereo to boot.
|
|
This is a top quality pressing from this era. I am listening to it now on the sad announcement of the passing of Ryuichi San. I believe the records were pressed using the original plates from Japan.

My album of the year so far. Blending rootsy Nyabinghi and Afrofuturist jazz. Excellent pressing and production. Btw, at 40 minutes running time this is most definitely an LP. Not sure why it’s listed as a 12”.

You are wide of the mark. The original recording of MV was flawed and this has been well documented. For all his genius RVG made a mess of this one, particularly HH’s piano, which sounds dull and lifeless on early pressings. So full marks to Kevin...

I just traded this for an orange vinyl pressing which is free from surface noise.

Reality check: this one is waaay better than the previous Polydor re-whatever (now thankfully dispatched to the pre-loved section of my local wax supplier). Is it audiophile? Unlikely. Does it sound good? You bet it does.
Fact of the matter is, back... See full review |

Blue Note Masterpiece in every way. The gorgeous sound reproduction of this beautiful Japanese pressing puts the listener right there with this astonishing line up of jazz greats.
