This is the one to get. solid DMM mastering. thumping bass and all the other goodies. don't let the time length fool ya! sounds amazing from start to finish. -
First impression upon hearing this on vinyl for the first time: WOW. Why? There's much more detail on this remastered vinyl release compared to the extremely loudly mastered and more compressed sounding compact disc I've been listening to since 1995. "The Universal" feels more lush, "He Thought Of Cars" has more depth...on, and on, it's like there's another dimension that's been added to each of the songs in one way or another. The vinyl itself is flat and very quiet. Zero surface noise. This one's a keeper. Five stars and a happy face.

incredible sounding cd and one hell of a phenomenal album. -

One Of The Best Albums Ever Made. Cassette Sounds Fantastic. -
This is a beautiful pressing! Good quality jacket and inners and most importantly 2 stunning slabs of vinyl. Lovely wide soundstage with no surface noise or non fill. To me this is what is referred to as ‘audiophile vinyl’ which is a term I hate, basically it’s a great sounding record which is how all vinyl should sound imo, providing the source is good quality obviously. 🖤

I Agree ! Very good sounding record (as usual with Blur). This pressing is flat and silent. No regrets with this one

A great version of the release. Shame it wasn't issued with this tracklist worldwide, as it's a vast improvement. I always felt the 15 track version was lacking, and Yuko and Hiro was a poor track to finish on (plus the outro bit didn't work well with this track either). The Japanese version works really well and ending on a more upbeat note makes the whole album feel like a triumph!

Recently saw this pop up at some online retailers again finally so assume its this pressing I was luckily able to pick up, if so.. everything about this pressing is flawless! Ive enjoyed this album since my teens when i played the cd on repeat upon its release so to finally have it on vinyl is a dream. The vinyl is silent and sounds overall AMAZING as I hoped it would.
Blur really played with sounds on this album and each moment is enjoyable on vinyl, even viewing the record sized album artwork for the first time is a joy.
A great timeless album pressed perfectly. Grab a copy if you come across it at a relatively decent price! -

Something about this era of Blur is SO magical! It feels like they were having fun telling a story and experimenting & expanding on their sound. I look forward to owning this on vinyl ONE day! -

fabbe112. What are you talking about. I’m playing it now and The Universal sounds fantastic. Fresh, lively, but without anhint of shrillness. A great sounding record overall
