Fantastic sounding pressing of this incredible album. I’m a first pressing collector anyway, but I’d never feel the need to buy any reissue for improved audio. Glorious. -
Does anyone else's copy have three rings around the hole instead of just one as pictured?
I have the Variant 6 version of this original UK press. -
Edited one year agoThis original is the only way to hear this album. Not a fan of the remasters--overly compressed and too much artificial stereo expansion.
This press sounds right for this album and era. -

A great rendering of an old favorite. I'm actually quite taken with this mastering. Having grown up first with the CD, then with a used early pressing, I've got no complaints at all with the clarity and presence of the sound. If anything, there's an immediate distinctness to the vocals and instrumentation like I've never heard before. The pressing quality of my copy is great too, no surface noise. From a record store I trust. Not at all bad for the price.
Mine has a sticker on the back that says "made in Czech Republic" on the shrink.
Regarding the mastering itself, 4AD's description on an archived version of their site is: "Using new masters created from high definition files transferred from the original analogue tapes" https://web.archive.org/web/20180707235610/http://4ad.com/news/870

Edited 2 years agoHad been listening to the original CD since the late 80s and have been buying the LP counterparts because they have a sheen and depth that the CDs just don't have. I just got the original UK LP pressing and was flabbergasted, it SHINES!!!!...do yourself a favor and get these on LP ...of course, get the best stylus you can afford; I have a $300 Ortofon OMP 30 on my Linear Tracking Technics SL-QL1 and it's vinyl heaven; especially because of the non existent Inner Groove Distortion (look it up). And I ain't just talking out of my A**, I am a pro sound engineer, have a few entries here in Discogs... PEACE! -
it’s bonkers that john bonham plays drums (in an indirect fashion) on this record, seems so obvious once you know that
-
sounds amazing
great dreamy album and one of the best albums for hearing the ambience and reverb really clear ... makes me want to find more albums with a similar soundscape
love it -
One the best albums of the 80s. Mine version has two side one labels, anyone know if this affects value...not that i'm selling it. :)
