      Stunning sound quality and pressing. Does justice to this overlooked masterpiece.

        Dear owners of this record, can you tell me how the cover is executed? Similar like original -- over the image of Reed and Cale printed an image of Warhol with separate color? or is it just an imitation -- an ordinary flat print?
        thanks

          wow, what a sound !!! one of the best records I bought
          • dmstewart51502112's avatar
            Most of it is great, but my pressing has significant distortion on Starlight. It’s horrible. Quieter volume too on top of the distortion. But only on that one song.

            On my copy, the glue on the record jacket was not attached at the top either so I had to melt the glue on myself.
            Has anyone else had these issues? Or is my copy the only one

              just like the new york remaster ... flat, digital sounding and pretty much dead on dynamics. even the resolution feels lower. get the original record / cd. i have pretty much every version of this record and this one sinks at the bottom.

                This is incredible quality of pressing. "Dead quiet" here it means "totally f....n dead quiet" - between tracks and "zero track" too.
                Fantastic sound.
                I am impressed.

                  This is why I buy vinyl. One of the best sounding records I've bought in the past 5 years. Great in every way.

                    Really good pressing. I don't really care for gatefold so this release suits me fine.

                      Fantastic pressing. Definitive version...only miss: no Gatefold.... :-(
                      Glad to have this in my collection. Sound is awesome...
