Yeah, let's do a half-speed mastering and then press it at GZ! Honestly..
|
|
Ah, United Record Pressing! Off-centre again. Quantity, not quality seems to be what they stand for.

418 owners of a record supposedly limited to 300 copies as of today! lol

It was a successful release, so there are many variations, including transitional copies showing different label versions. But we will get there, step by step. ;-)

This is the best pressing of this LP I've heard. The punch of the drum intro sets the pace. Precise and vivid.
|
|
|
|
This record sounds strangely dull/muffled, even for a mono recording of the time, like it needed to be pitched up.
|
|
|
|
|
You're absolutely right. It has been corrected (i.e. merged) in the meantime.
|
|
Well, as always, de gustibus non est disputandum. Just my personal opinion.
|
|
|
Once young and fresh, now old and lame. Dispensable release.
|
|
What a terrible mastering job for the LP! Record really sounds dull and thin. I wonder if the US pressing sounds any better?
|
|
The sound quality is really no reason to get this box. The 45 rpm mastering is a fine idea, but pressing it at GZ spoils it completely. Really no point, sounds s-t. Original pressings sound much better.
|
|
"Ich schaue in die Zeitung, wann es endlich losgeht, oh ja ja ja jaa!" Brilliant.
|
|
Now this would make one nice little LP reissue for a RSD or so!
|
|
Every single song on this album is a classic, actually.
|
|
I'd much rather see a vinyl release of Twisted Tenderness instead of a repress of their easily available debut!

Rough guide through the history of German pressings:
The earliest pressings show the "ECM Records" logo on the labels with copyright rim text beginning with "Urheber- und Leistungsschutzrechte". Then they switched to the "ECM" logo on the labels... See full review |

This record is an absolute gem. Literally out of nowhere.

I wonder how many of us who bought this already own the original pressing..
|
|
I can see no difference in the copyright information between the two US pressings, neither on the sleeve nor the centre labels. The position of the spindle hole is no distinguishing feature either; due to way records are manufactured, the centre...

I checked my orange copy again yesterday to be sure. The sleeve is flat as a pancake!
Either there were two pressings of the orange sleeve, or your memory betrays you after all these years, Bonner_Archiv. ;-) |
|
I own a third pressing copy as well and I've expereinced the same issue. The record looks flawless, got it from a very well looked after collection, whereof other records from the same era play without any background noise. This one, however, pops and...

Yellow sleeve colour unfortunately prone to fading. (and further words..)

Scha quai füss disponibel eir en vinyl, füss grondius. Eu cumpress subit!
|
|
That's the same for all commercial first pressings. Could be added to the Notes.
|
|
|
|
Looks like a counterfeit. The label colour is wrong and Metronome pressed at Deutsche Grammophon/Phonodisc (later called PRS), so the runout etchings are revelatory: fake.
|
|
The customer Newbury Comics has in mind is not the audiophile who has spent a lot of money on his stereo equipment, I presume.
|
|
|
You are quite right. The orange sleeve is not embossed. I own this version myself. I have fixed the Notes accordingly.

Wicked artwork by Susanne Erasmi - and that roughly 20 years pre-Banksy! ;-)
|

jaffboy151 Now that might be an exaggeration. The "vinyl revival" is dependent on the big capacity of the GZ plant. Big capacity quantity-wise, that is. As far as the quality of... See full review |

If you want to buy this on vinyl, make sure to get the MPO pressing (USA and France).
GZ Vinyl pressings are - once again, I regret to add - of deplorable quality. |
