What the…. the sound exceeded my expectation, not lo-fi at all. Just get it if you can. -
Edited 3 years agoWow! This is really good sounding! I expected more of a lo fi sound but boy I was so wrong. Open, airy and direct with high quality bass.
Played on a Michell Orbe SE with SME IV tonearm and Benz Micro LP cart. -
This sounds fantastic. Despite being a mid price reissue this conveys the raw post punk sound of the early Cure.
The CD sounds poor in comparison.
