Propaganda – A Secret Wish

I really like this album. Another gem from the 80s. The sound is great. Pressing is fine. I recommend it.
Played on:
Technics SL-100C, Audio Technica VM-95C/E/ML (depending on record condition and taste), Rega Fono Mini A2D MK2, Technics SU-G700M2, Yamaha NS-777

"A Secret Wish" is another precious pearl of the 80s. This album by Propaganda is one of the most underrated bands of that decade (like Lotus Eaters) as far as the genre/style of Synth-pop and New Wave is concerned.

According to https://zttaat.com/release.php?item=952 released on 9 May 1996 (not 10 May 1994). Which source to believe ?

Propaganda - A Secret Wish This European version is really well and powerfully recorded.

Propaganda - A Secret Wish Portugal pressing from 1985 is very poorly mastered - it sounds dull and flat compared to the UK vinyl and CD.

My copy of Propaganda - A Secret Wish, dating from the 1980s, has evidence of "CD rot" i.e. slight browning to the playing side. However, it plays perfectly.

I disagree with VG+ description for the album cover as there is some significant corner damage but the album is certainly a VG+.

The quality of the photographic reproduction on the sleeve and booklet is really poor - disappointing

Finally got around to picking this up. Sorry For Laughing reminds me of something off of Visage's Beat Boy. Great, underrated music and band. I wish they put out more with this specific line-up.

Probably the best single-CD version of the album, it has the original LP mixes & running order, but it also includes Frozen Faces, plus it has bonus tracks that weren't even put on the 25th anniversary edition (A Secret Wish). It hasn't been set upon by any remastering engineer hacks either.
