Reviews

Maybe not the best sound, but it doesn't sound terrible to me. Friday Music might not be audiophile, but some of their records sound pretty good, including this one.
-
This copy sounds great…. I have no issues that others have mentioned mine is very silent between tracks. The trifold is a bit thin but I’m glad to have this version
-
Picked up a minty used copy today and it plays great not hearing any noise between tracks. I haven’t even cleaned it with my US cleaner yet. All good here. -
Stay away from this pressing. Sound is awful and nowhere near the level of quality of the MOV pressings from 2013 which sound phenomenal! -
This pressing is a disaster. Do not buy anything issued by Friday Music. This is most likely pressed from the CD. This is a scam and shouldn’t be listed for more than $10. -
Edited 6 years agoI wouldn't say this release sounds like utter garbage like the previous reviewer stated. I've definitely heard a lot worse. At least the music has definition and clarity to it rather than sounding muddy or distorted but I wouldn't call this an 'audiophile' record as the reissue label claims. The music doesn't sound bad but it probably doesn't offer any improvement in sonics over a CD or digital files other than maybe a fuller low end. I doubt this record was originally recorded analog anyway given its highly stylized electronic sound, so it's never going to sound amazing on vinyl. That being said, it doesn't sound terrible by any means, just very sterile, very cold, obviously not the way vinyl is supposed to sound but they did an ok job here, making for a decent listening experience. It seems to be mastered pretty quiet too. I have to crank it in order to achieve the desired impact. Also, no pressing flaws on mine, flat, centered and plays dead silent with a quiet background with no noise on the lead-in grooves or between tracks.

Edited 8 years agoThis ISO reissue sounds like utter garbage. On my newly-unsealed copy, the run-ins and outs are full of noise and is very distracting on quieter sections of the music. Really disappointing.
