Current 93 – Thunder Perfect Mind

An open letter to David: a repress of this masterpiece should be released in 2025.

ok... how did I miss this? This album should not be so limited and hard to find.

Brilliant album! Be advised this remaster does suffer some clipping in places.

Does anyone know if the songs on this reissue are in Russian or in English?

This seems to be a very quiet pressing. In order to hear it well it needs to be turned up pretty loud which in turn brings the noise floor up to a noticeable level. As others have mentioned, this is tolerable during louder ages, but quite noticeable during quieter moments and between tracks.

Finally, a worthy vinyl reissue of TPM. This black vinyl pressing eliminates the background hiss found on the purple vinyl version.They got it right this time. Would have been nice to have a gatefold sleeve but that's just quibbling.

Yes it is noisy. Constant hiss that doesn't bother me that much when music plays but it is noticable in quieter parts and between tracks. Couple pops but nothing serious. Rather nice sound quality. Vinyls are flat. Packaging is very simple - no gatefold, basic insert without any photos, graphic liner notes etc (just lyrics). I don't like the idea of messing with cover art - would prefer original artwork (or this funny one with Wain cat). Overall it's fine reissue but previous one ("Swastikas For Noddy") was better done.

I concur - this is a great pressing of a fantastic album. Snap it up now while it's still reasonably priced.

Can anyone say something about the quality of the remaster 2017? Is it better than the 2002/2003 remaster (CD-version) and what about dynamic range? Many thanks in advance.

I'm happy with the pressing quality of my copy. Sound is a little bassy, but this might be due to my setup.
