Ryuichi Sakamoto – 12

Lots of distortion on side A with plenty of surface noise. Better on remaining sides B-D. Beautiful art let down by yet another poor pressing

Got a sealed copy. Clean pressing, amazing record. You can even hear Ryuichi's subtle breath as he's playing. Super intimate.

Beautiful.

And no other comment.

Nothing else to write.

Perfect pressing

I love the record but my copy came with a lot of pops and crackling (some moments quite nasty.) I've taken a few runs at cleaning it which may have improved things a bit. The fact that it's also a clear pressing doesn't make examining it while one cleans it very easy. I'll keep at it though.

no noise to speak of on my copy, received today from amazon (unfortunately) due to having a gift card to use up.

So weird. My cd skips a lot. It didn't the first couple plays but now it does. Bought it new and disc looks clean. My cd player has no skipping problem with other cds.

Don't know what you're all talking about, but my clear copy sounds great. Zero to none surface noise with AT33PTG/II and the mastering is the same as 24/96 files, maybe a bit brighter.

My copy is well, cannot say anything bad about it. Some small pops, which should be washed away. No distortion, no clipping or other listenable issues. Wonderful record. Sad that Mr. Sakamoto ed away. When ever I heard a record from him it had something special, there is something behind the music.

Bought this because it’s more a document of the final tunes of mr Sakamoto than anything else. I was worried when I read the reviews on the poor pressing, and it took some weeks before I had the chance to listen to it. Luckily my pressing is almost flawless which is a must to fully appreciate the emotion that is buried in the groove. RIP mr. Sakamoto.

Great record but the vinyl pressing is quite poor with a lot of noice
