    Really nice to have this on vinyl. Overall it has a good sound, but the record is dirty. I cleaned it before playing as I do all my records, but the stylus picked up so much dirt it splattered the cartridge lol. I cleaned it up and the second play through the static was much better or even gone. First play through tons of static. Good otherwise.

      I'd chip in and say it is as good as a reissue of an early ninetees original digital recording could ever hope to be on vinyl. Love how distinct and clear the vocals are, both Rob's main and the backing vocals stand out and have excellent presence in the recording, sounding warm and detailed. Obviously, the vibes are immaculate in the music. Filling your room with a smokey haze (or is it purple?). My pressing was clean and super quiet, so no complaints there either. No frills, no extras, delivers exactly what's to be expected. Sounds punchy and warm. Rrcommended.

        I think this pressing sounds mighty fine. Havnt done a comparison with my cd but I love the warm bass and overall sound. I guess it depends how close to ground level youre on ;)
        Play it loud. Using Rega rp1. Highly recommended if you love this album.

          Unfortunately this pressing sounds dull and muted, it really isn’t worth owning compared to the CD!
