referencing How Could Hell Be Any Worse? (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Clear W/ Black, Tranparent) E-86407-1
Nice reissue! The original recordings have some obvious limitations, but this sounds pretty solid. Just a little bit of surface noise between tracks. -
referencing How Could Hell Be Any Worse? (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Red W/ Black Dots) E-6407-1
My version is more Clear With Red parts and Black splatter -
Tolle Pressung. Spielt sehr leise, nur sehr vereinzelte Störgeräusche, sehr leichter Höhenschlag. Einziges Manko ist die einfache Papierinnenhülle.

referencing How Could Hell Be Any Worse? (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, White, 40th Anniversary Edition) E-6407-1
Pretty decent press. Give it a clean and it sounds perfectly fine. Not expecting an incredible sound quality given how many pressings this has had churned out. -
referencing How Could Hell Be Any Worse? (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, White, 40th Anniversary Edition) E-6407-1
Don't buy it! It's absolute SHIT sound quality, unless you want a mass of distortion.... -
Edited 2 years agoAbsolute SHIT mastering. Sounds like it's been copied onto a cheap cassette with the levels way too high. Unlistenable & distorted. I will be returning mine. Do not buy these..... OMG unbelievably BAD!!!!!

Not really 'dots' but looks and sounds awesome none the less. Very impressed. -
referencing How Could Hell Be Any Worse? (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Blue W/ Black Transparent) E-86407-1
Can anyone tell me how these new pressings sound? Sourced from the remaster? Not that thats a bad thing, more interested in the original stampers but wouldn't mind the remaster on vinyl as well for this classic. -
I'm pretty sure the album was released in 1981. I picked it up at Rebop Records in Boston that fall... -
Edited 3 years agoSo, is this version one that differs from the 2017 (this mark on its run outs) and the Unofficial from... 2014? that one that apparently has no marks on runouts neither the folded insert?
