Edited 6 years agoMarvelous reissue!!! I had no dissapointing issues. Very decent pressing, dead quite and superb sonics, absolutly nothing to complain about! And prices are still moderate! -
Edited 6 years agoWasted opportunity due to poor pressing quality. Seems like Pallas is taking shortcuts now and not allowing records to cool before packaging them in jackets and shrinkwrapping them. Same problem that lower-tier U.S. plants had in the last couple of years. Don't buy this unless the seller can unwrap and inspect the record for you.
Update: I obtained a replacement copy and while not perfect, is a bit better. Still think QC at Pallas is slipping. These records aren't cheap and really should be dead flat like what I expect from Pure Pleasure and Pallas. -
Since everyone is singing it's praises looks like i was unlucky Mine has a really annoying jump on First Impressions around a quarter of a way through. -
The pressing might even be better than the Superfly Records one. Zero background noise, just what you would expect from a renowned audiophile company, and THAT sound quality !!! -
Pure Pleasure seem to be consistently putting out high quality vinyl reissues - this is another great example - sounds fantastic!
