Duran Duran – Future Past

So much better than the red pressing, which had a distortion in the right channel from beginning to end on Side A (and some distortion on Side B) and overall sounded so much flatter. This is the version to get and to keep. Excellent package.
Played them after a good cleaning round on the Okki Nokki.

Mediocre pressing, with surface noise especially on side A and not super dynamic. Better to avoid this one and go for the double LP which was pressed in .
Album itself is nice, I will try to get my hands on the 2LP version and send this one back.

Unfortunately, I have had two copies of this Album (White Vinyl), both very ***Badly Warped***. Same as with the (Green Vinyl), "2 copies" both very ***Badly Warped***

Excellently packaged album, excellent pressing and sound. A very brilliant album

The track Five Years features re-recorded vocals, it is a different version from the one on the Japanese CD. Here it’s much more intense and has a bigger impact, the previously released CD version sounds like a demo compared to this one here.

The volume level of the album is too high, which is causing distortion to the audio. 🫤

Pleased with this purchase. There was a bit of debris embedded in disc 2 about an inch from the edge but didn't cause any clicking on either side. However, while both discs appeared clean, even after a wipe of anti static cleaner, the needle was dredging up a lot of dirt in the first playback. So much so that if I didn't clean the stylus between tracks, the distortion was off the scales. No doubt it'll disappear after a few play throughs, life's too short to invest in ultrasonic washers and record baths. I had the deluxe cd so it's great to add Five Years even if they did choose to sanitise the words a little.

I'd already bought the individual colours, and then this comes out. Great album but I feel quite poor now!

I got lucky perhaps but I can’t fault any aspect of this release. Looks great, sounds great and what it should have been from the start. The 1-star review on here is curious…maybe time for a turntable / stylus upgrade?
