This is a laminated gatefold cover! Indeed! Should be edited!
|
|
When I heard the Mr Bongo reissue of "Promised Heights" I also had high expectations on this reissue. I ordered it and compared it directly to my end 70s polish reissue and have to say: This here really sounds bad! The right side of the stereo image...

This is obviously a BOOTLEG label, I have no idea why their releases haven't been blocked so far...

Just received my original US copy and really wonder how bad this was recorded / mixed... the album totally lacks high end - there is not much above 10khz... if I didn't know that this is the original pressing I would assume it is a scorpio/rainbow...

In my opinion Pure Pleasure is highly overrated - I have a few pressings from them that are far away from "audiophile" - they claim to be "pure analogue" but most of their pressings come from digital source... and are not better than other reissues -...

"It's pure pleasure release I think so shoulds be decent" - in my opinion Pure Pleasure is highly overrated - I have a few pressings from them that are far away from "audiophile" - they claim to be "pure analogue" but most of their pressings come from...

My experience so far with BGP reissues, was that they were all heavily compressed and so was the 2014 pressing - flat sounding, nothing to compare to the original pressing... so, I am still curious, if the AAA treatment is just another marketing lie...

The copyright owner Bruton Music doesn't allow any commercial reissues of their catalogue (anymore)... and it doesn't look as if they would be interested in doing vinyl releases on their own!
|
|
This is apparently ripped from vinyl! When you listen close with headphones to "Red clay" you'll notice a few vinyl "artifacts"... nevertheless all in all it sounds ok!

Just received my copy! Beautiful gatefold, nice, the sound is also very good but the B-Side has lots of clicks and crackles in between! I'll return my copy and hopefully the other will be better! It is still very nice listening pleasure but hey...

Great reissues! However anyone noticed that all their great reissues from RYO FUKUI and Hiroshi Suzuki are "copied" from the japanese Project:Re Vinyl label using the same new artworks (remastering? - not sure). So, anyone waiting for a new We Release...

The same for me, I also received a new copy with totally different labels. This must be a repress of the "limited edition"! Everything's else except the labels looks identical to the pictures here...
|
|
I can't share the opinions about good sound quality here! There is almost no High End, frequencies are drastically cut from 10khz!!! Even compared to the cheaper Scorpio reissue this album sounds totally dull... disappointing as the sleeve and...

Well done Hot Casa! Nice package, top! And the sound is great! Thanks for this reissue!
|
|
Definitely no bootleg! hhv.de do only legally licensed products! That's for sure!
|

Mastered from mp3 is bullshit... why should they do this? hhv always brings out quality releases, and there are at least enough CD copies around... compared the sleeve with the original one, you can see, that the original one looks better, but for me...

Very disappointing... from hhv I'mm used to get great pressings with clear sound and almost no background noise. On my copy there is constant crackling on the right side of the speakers... compared it to my original pressing and will return to hhv......

Overall this reissue sounds good to me, except side f, which sounds partially distorted especially Tarzan and Sunshine! Anybody else? I don't have the original copy from 2005 to compare...
|
|
Just to add: My copy doesn't play with crackling surface noise... maybe these bad pressings - which others are claiming - occured with later represses (without mentioning)...
|
|
BEWARE! Terrible sound quality, indeed, the pressing is quiet without surface noises and crackles BUT terrible remastering, too compressed, way too much highs - I don't have an original to compare but the difference will be worlds! Light distortion on...

Mine is flawless! Good pressing! No clicks and pops... Nice one!
|
|
This is really one out of 50 remastered reissues that significatnly sound better than the original! I've directly compared the original pressing with this reissue (with levels adjusted) and quickly decided to sell my original copy...
|
|
I can also confirm that my pressing is flawless... great sound!
|
|
Good quality! Compared it to the orignal and couldn't tell the difference...
|
|
Yes, this is really remastered! And some tracks really differ A LOT!!! And I have to say in a positive way, the original was mixed with way too much low end and misses clear mids and highs. To me the remastered version sounds way better! I have...

No, nothing wrong with the record, it sounds ok! No skippings...
|
|
I can confirm the same jump on the same spot with my red pressing...
|
|
Where is the vinyl version? Silly decision of Def Jam, not to release this on wax - and this is in the time of the great vinyl revival boom...
|
|
@ Vinyldigital: Thanks for this great proper reissue which was long overdue... Great improvement to all the other unofficial bootlegs!
|
|
|
|
Indeed, compared to the original ones, these Fifth Dimension bootlegs have bad quality! Nothing for audiophile listeners like me! Besides I don't like to support bootleg labels! Stop the piracy!
|
|
Better keep your hands away from that copy! I just compared this (bootleg) reissue with the proper Sureshot reissue and the Sureshot sounds way much better!!! Really big sound difference!
|
|
I can't share the positive feedback on the sleeve! This looks way too dark! Big difference to the original artwork...

Just released and prices range from 36€ to 75€. What the hell??? Guys don't support that MADNESS!

On the surface the LP doesn't look too clean (checked on two different copies). I compared the sound to the Golden Pavillon release. The sound of the Schema release is more open, has more treble and less bass. The total level of the two vinyl releases...

Sorry guys - my mistake! The sound of the LP is ok! It is qite loud and also quite saturated but not distorted, it was my preamp that was overdriven...
|

The complete album sounds totally distorted! Bad bad mastering!!! Classic album with such a bad sound is a real shame! Better look for the original, if you'd like to spend a few more bucks...

The original sleeve has a bit darker brown and the sleeve is thicker, looks more high quality than the reissue!

The LPs are ORANGE, not GOLD!!! This is really totally misleading...

|
The original sleeve is a bit thicker and the brown is darker than the reissue! It looks a bit more high-quality!
