Was the flute distorted on your copy? Because that's where I noticed distortion on mine. Other than that it was pretty solid.

Its right at the end of B2, where the swirling effect comes though, I think it may be a flute... See full review

Sounds great, however mine came warped. Doesn’t impact sound but annoying for such an expensive pressing.

This is cheap compared to many other audiophile releases.

Anyone compare this version from Analogue Productions 45 RMP. İs this version better or not?

Ive only seen people prefer this one, with a few exceptions. This uses the master tape while the 45 probably does not.

[quote=lagoskid] I don't have a mono cartridge or mono phono stage, so I generally keep away from mono records; I didn't know this record was mono until I was at the counter to pay for it (for $25, I decided to chance it). This record has certainly... See full review

I can't believe no one else mentioned this distortion issue on this track and the previous on the left channel. I honestly thought my speaker was giving up. really poorly sourced tape or digital in this case.

[quote=PsychedelicGuy] An incredibly frustrating compilation. I've owned at least three copies of this and they all skip. Not just a little blip, like needle running across the record. Such a good package, its a shame this seemed to doom multiple... See full review

[quote=aggeliki78] I've got my Big Beat copy for eons (definitely bought before/round 2000) and like brim85 said there are horns all over "This will be our year" and while I'm no expert it does sound mono to my ears. I'm defininetly sure this is a... See full review

[quote=crowsonthedock] Just got a message form Speakers Corner. The representative told me that this affects the entire first pressing (which they have sold out of) and will be corrected on the next pressing. I was also given this explanation of how... See full review

Horrible ear bleeding distortion that sounds like a tweeter capacitor failing. Unacceptable for such a release. Probably really poor condition master tape or digital master.

Its on the original too I think, so its probably... See full review

As has always been, this is a fabulous audiophile favorite. Perhaps this reissue is even the best version yet so keep this in mind while I give a rather nitpicking review.
Theres an outstanding balance to the sound having a nice bass and airy highs... See full review

[quote=porkpie_hat] What's wrong with that? All the original pressings were cut louder. This lowers the noise floor. Sure, you need wider grooves and this means that you end up cutting closer to the spindle.Seriously... IMHO guys cutting records... See full review

[quote=trb427] This album is brilliant from start to finish. A collection of 60's psychedelic pop gems with excellent production. It's a shame it never got the audience it deserves. The album cover art gives the misleading impression of a... See full review
