Reviews

My copy was skipping in the first track of both sides, but after testing a bit I found out it was my turntable. So basically the record is almost flawless (except for the static thanks to the paper inner sleeve).
If you experience skips in your copy, check the arm weight. -
One of the best reissues I have sounds better than first press! Rhino reissues are some of my favorites and don't cost half of Analogue production reissues.
-
A perfect pressing. Dead flat and no surface noise. Nice punchy mix that's perfect for this album. No, it does not skip. Clean it out of the jacket and play it on a decent turntable, and you won't be disappointed. It's also surprisingly cheap for how good it is. -
A serious contender for the best pressing I own - always liked this album, now I truly love it. -
This pressing is fully deserving of the high praise metered out in the majority of the previous reviews. My copy was flawless straight out of the sleeve. Perfectly flat with no pops clicks or skips. I do wish they’d used a poly lined inner though.
This thing sounds better than many of the so called “audiophile label” pressings I own & it cost a fraction of the price. -
Holy smokes! What a phenomenal pressing! Flawless playback. Soundstage is amazing! This is proof that there are phenomenal pressings at amazing prices. Probably one of or the best pressing in the little over 100 records I own. Highly recommended. -

Edited one year agoFirst track skips all the way through even after cleaning 👎🏻 and yes my turntable is set properly -
Edited one year agoMan this thing sounds sooooo good. Punchy, clear, and dynamic as hell. To think this was originally released in the 80s, where imo so many recordings sounded terrible, blows my mind. Only things I can complain about are (1) it would be nice if it came in a poly lined inner and (2) there is a bit of sibilance in the vocals of This Must Be The Place. -
An outstanding pressing, truly shocked at how good this is. Brilliant sound quality and a silent noise floor, eagerly awaiting to grab the other Talking Heads reissues.
