    I couldn't wait to get my hands off this CD. I'd heard the single an loved the 70s Philly Soul vibe- a real nod to the productions of Gamble & Huff and the late great Thom Bell. Wow was I disappointed. Don't get me wrong- the music is FANTASTIC. It's the terrible sound quality. A muddy sludge of a mix. It has to be one of the worst sounding discs I have in my collection. It lacks sparkle and dynamic range. The production should shimmer instead the instrumentation is buried under a blanket.

        I waited for ~1 year for Pino Palladino And Blake Mills - Notes With Attachments to release on vinyl. I can wait for this too. :)

        Edit: Vinyl release on August 12 2022 (according to HHV).

            If you are not aware how much the record business and its vinyl producing leg has changed during the past 25+years, I recommend to read the Variety article below. It provides some insights on why it has become such a challenge for so many artists to have their recordings made available on vinyl and, just as importantly as in this case here, “on time” as well:

            "Adele's ’30’ Sends Vinyl Pressing Plants Into Overdrive, While LP Shortages Leave Many Artists Chasing Pavements" (Nov 3, 2021, Variety.com) 😲.

            ☝️Anyhow, don't blame Adele (3) - 30 album is actually just a by-product and certainly not the cause of the overall vinyl shortage - a problem long ago in the making as the resurfaced, huge demand for vinyl globally has to be satisfied on the back of what is IMO also a totally outdated, insufficient vinyl pressing infrastructure today.

            Long story short: It will get a lot worse before it will ever get better. However, I have no doubt in my mind that the really great and fun Silk Sonic - An Evening With Silk Sonic LP will also appear as a beautifully packaged vinyl deluxe set eventually. We just need to be even more patient than ever 😉.

Come on, Bruno...Don't you think us diehard fans have waited long enough???
