Just received this great LP, cleaned, and spinning...My copy is flat, virtually no surface noise, and it sounds great on my modest system (highs sound crisp/sparkling, mids sound milky, bass is thick but not obscuring, great separation/depth, and the result is a clean yet powerful sound.). Plus, they had the foresight to place the wax in a poly sleeve, while including the cardboard insert...
(Fluance RT-82 w/Acrylic Platter, ATN-XP cart/5 stylus. Nobsound T3 Phono Amp, Aiyima A07 Pro, Kicker KB6B, & 2x Polk PSW10 Subs...Simple Low Cost Setup)...Happy Listening -
Yeah, I have to begrudgingly it that this sounds incredible compared to the original. Like removing ear plugs, the music is suddenly bigger and more detailed. The cover however is pure shite. -
Great pressing! As noted elsewhere the cover art is a bit blurred but hey ho! Needs a good clean before playing. Recommended -
Slightly dodgy cover art touch up aside, this is streets ahead of the original. A marked improvement in dynamics and punch and loads of space and depth of field where it needs to be. A superb master, in that it doesn't tread on the feel of the era or the original. It simply adds focus and impact.
Also - The plain poly-lined inner and card printed inner is always such a nice touch in these reissues imo.

Edited one year agoSoundwise it's a stellar reissue.
Though I have a huge letdown during Skin, where Siouxsie's vocals and guitar distort in the left channel in a most bizarre way. It's not even an IGD, it seems that it's printed this way.
It's still better than my copy of Juju that was completely botched by Optimal: the whole thing distorts all the way (with a micro-line stylus) and is printed incorrectly. Once again, Optimal is a way to ruin a near-perfect reissue. -
Fantastic pressing of a fantastic album. Vinyl is lovely and flat, absolutely no background noise and sounds great. Very impressed.
-
Very impressed with the SQ ! Sounds rich and dynamic and I’ve really enjoyed revisiting this fascinating album. This was such a fertile time for British music post punk, and Kaleidoscope is up there with Metal Box, 154 and Entertainment for me. -
-
Sounds great to me. Very quiet and flat pressing as well. We’ll worth picking up if you’re a fan.
