This is a really great idea to have all 4EP’s in one album. A lot of Rides best work are on these EP’s. It shows them emerging as one of the pioneers of shoegaze. Songs like “Drive Blind”, “Taste”, “Here and Now” and “Today” are some of my faves. My pressing is great. Sounds just as good as my “Nowhere” and “Going Blank Again” reissues. Grab while available. -
Fall and Today Forever are really good. Ride and Play, are good, the original recordings are only good too. Great pressing. The music is stellar. Highly recommended.

Excellent package, top to bottom. The discs sound great to my ears and I'm not sure where the complaints are coming from. Sure, the original EP's on 45 with only two songs per side are a bit louder but this is excellent. Highly recommended.

Listening to my newly delivered vinyl while I type. As a GenX'r, the Smile and Vapor Trail CD's were required listening during late night car rides. The vinyl is, thankfully, dead quiet on the needle drop. No crackle during play on either album. There's slightly more atmosphere when compared to my digital copies from the 1990s. The high end percussion sounds a bit splashy at times. The music was always somewhat lo-fi to me, so wasn't expecting much beyond simply enjoying these songs again after 25 years. -
Edited 2 years agoNot sure if the pictures of the orignal EP's and center labels were intended to be dull, but personally I think they would look way better if they were the actual cover colors. That aside this is a great release, super pleased. RIDE is my all time fave. -
Edited 2 years agoQuiet as far as surface noice goes, but I would have to compare it original eps for sound quality -
Great packaging, sounds OK however for this price I'd expect better QC while mine isn't warped it has an annoying kink in both records which is kind of upsetting, but not enough to warrant returning it. Disappointing. -
Anyone have this and can review the pressing quality? White vinyl always gives me pause. Shame there's no black vinyl version.
