Nucleus (3) – Labyrinth

I just finished listening to Be With reissue of this Nucleus beautiful work. Bought it as it seems it was printed by original analogic masters, while many reissued vinyl are printed out digital masters which make no sense to me.....The record anyway sounds great ,very balanced with a great soundstage and dynamic, no noise or cracks, a joy for my ears...recommended.

Mine had a small lump of gunk on the surface of the vinyl. Hopefully my Okki Nokki will deal with it.

Superb reissue, what I’ve come to expect from Be With. Amazing separation and use of stereo makes for a really engaging listen. Sound is rich and warm and full of dynamics. One of those pressings that make you feel happy about buying records.

The music itself is great too, but I don’t think that this is a why people read these reviews.

Major Labels should take a look at how excellent Bewithrecords is producing the Albums !!
All of them could be played directly Out of the Box without any Static issues or dirt on the record..

Sound is fantastic, channel separation not from this world. A beautiful sound Stage -> as I only know of albums created on 70s / 80s .. Somebody is truly a master of the vinyl process !

Other recent reissues always lack in some way .. these do NOT!

Sounds great, excellent job on this hard to find album

Music wise, it's a drop off from Belladonna, and the singing is utterly pointless

Hi. Did anyone experience noise after wet washing? It has happened with the "Under The Sun" album too. Same problem with Placebo - 1973 and Habie Hancock - Head Hunters from Music On Vinyl. I think the vinyls come from the same pressing plant in the Netherlands.
It's not a problem with the cleaning process (dirty liquid etc.) but with the vinyl itself.

Excellent reissue, as we are all used to, by Bewithrecords!

well, OK. so it's nucleus. with ian carr. would anyone really get offended if i said just write this group off? do all their albums basically sound the same to you? yes, it's true, they do. but if you want to buy just one album by nucleus i would recommend 'labyrinth.' it's their peak album in my humble opinion. oh, but what about 'belladonna' with allan holdsworth? nah. that album isn't very good. nucleus does have an interesting take on jazz-rock, but there's really no need to go through their discography. you can just get one album that will encapsulate their entire sound in the best possible light and that album is 'labyrinth.' it's got norma winstone, who beats joy yates all over the place. leave your desire for holdsworth with gong, soft machine, jean-luc ponty and the first new tony williams lifetime album. THIS is the best nucleus album, and it's one i come back to regularly. trust me.

Could anyone tell me if the pressing of this release is good or not?
Because its unofficial release and Im sure if worth to spend the money on this record

MADE IN ITALY (Printed under the ''Label code'' and above the ℗ 1973) on my copy, also a boxed S.I.A.E. with D.R. printed under the box, on the middle right part of the label. Apart from that, it's pretty much the same single sleeve, Italian release shown here. Do someone else have this same edition? Is it a variant? or it's in fact another release, then worthing an entirely new submission (???)
