Pink Floyd – Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII

Mine sounds great for the most part after a good cleaning. Some ticks and pops here and there that won’t go away but not too bad. Both records are slightly dished. Not enough to return. I’m honestly tired of 180 gram double records. Just give me regular good sounding single Lp’s. The thicker records suffer from warping and issues far too often. I have records from the 70’s that are thin and flimsy but sound absolutely incredible! The extra thickness is nothing but an extra hassle

So far sounds quite good, better than my 80's bootleg. Great packaging, A+ for the gorgeous poster

Noisy, but I haven't cleaned it yet. Hope it sounds better after it's cleaned and vacuumed.

Grabación excelente. Pero tengo que limpiarlos con la Vevor, al venir sin fundas protectoras tienen mucha estática que molesta en los pasajes suaves.

Technics SL1200-MK5 - Ortofon Concirde Music Black

My version of this album sounds excellent. It needed a gentle wipe down before I played it (like many new presses, unfortunately), but, once that was done, I had zero issues. GZ is always hit or miss, but my copy looks and sounds excellent. No complaints!

I am fortunate to have a good copy. My hype sticker ends with S1 so this listing is correct for me. Visually the vinyl is not pristine. I see a few scuffs and marks. Audibly there is occasional faint surface noise only noticeable between songs and during the quiet parts. I feel it is a little but more noticeable than it would be but this record requires one to turn up the volume higher than usual. None of that is a problem. The pressing in my opinion is fantastic. It just sounds really good on my system. I love having new versions of pink floyd songs that I have listened to many, many times over the years.

Don't believe it's just the US pressings that are poor quality. My UK pressing was marked with scuffs and scratches straight out of the wrapper and played with noise and clicks throughout. It also had a ingrained mark in Echoes which caused an unlistenable knock for quite a few rotations. One of the worst quality vinyl records, new or old, that I've purchased in a long while. Currently awaiting a replacement as I certainly wasn't happy with paying good money for something this low quality.

Add mine to the list of duds. I will say that the musicality of this record is fantastic. Even better than I was expecting in all honesty. The pressing, however, is pure crap, and I find myself in the unenviable position of having to spring for a European release because Sony didn’t have the good sense to press everything out of RI. There are a few fantastic pressing plants stateside and they chose one of the absolute worst to print this record. What a shame.

The mix itself sounds great overall. I've always loved the movie and I can hear so much more detail on this vinyl than what I in the DVD which I've watched many times. There are some aspects I don't like. The cymbals in "Careful With That Axe Eugene" are very harsh and almost ruin the whole experience. "One of These Days" has a period of time when some weird buzzing is audible behind the distorted guitar.

I bought two copies of this US pressing. One had an audible scuff right at the beginning of side A, the second had a bad scuff during an important moment partway through Side A. Sides C/D on both copies were off center and had a serious ripple though it wasn't audible. One Copy side C had a scuff right at the start of the 2nd track and a number of audible scratches on Echoes. Unfortunately Ill have to pick my poison on these and just return the worst of the two. Disappointing.

When I first bought this I was reading reviews for the European release and didn't realize there were two separate pressings. Based only on reviews I'd recommend getting the European version and wish I had done so.

After a nice clean, this record actually sound really damn good. I had a bunch of surface noise right out of the shrink, but a long clean helped to lower it, However the edges of record 1 are badly cut, and could slice my hand open when trying to pull off the turntable.
