Recommendations
Reviews
-
My favourite Madness album. Great sounding pressing and vibrant colour. -
Love this cassette Edition of Absolutely by Madness.
I my Dad bought me it in 1980 and still have it ! -
referencing Absolutely (LP, Album) 6.24 511
This is a great pressing. Fantastic bass response and very quiet too. I would recommend this one. -
Most of these HMV releases are limited is this limited to 1,000 units does anybody know?
-
Sounds really decent. But.... ittedly sounds exactly like the not much older released black version which its clearly a repress of. Anyone who loves yellow is gonna dig this however

referencing Absolutely (LP, Album, Alternate sleeve) SEEZ 29
Both of my alternate sleeve copies have laminated sleeve front/spines and paper (as opposed to card) inner sleeves. -
I'm not an audiophile and have a budget setup using a Dual 505-2. That being said I think the sound quality of this pressing is good. The music sounds more open and vibrant than the box set special edition of the Liberty of Norton Folgate for which I paid over 3x more. The vinyl plays nice and quiet also.

referencing Absolutely (LP, Album) SEEZ 29
my cover has sticker with only £2.99 stiff on and doesnt have anything other than seez 29 -A/B etched but i can make out what looks like ky etched on side A -
Not sure if mine is a variant, but Side B runout is very slightly different: etched "JW1" (not "JW-1"), and [scratched out "P"] not [scratched out "+"]. This text reads: "RIGHT IS RIGHT + [scratched out "P"] BEST IS BEST"

referencing Absolutely (LP, Album, Stereo) SEEZ 29
Yes, definitely the wrong sleeve for that Dutch Pressed vinyl LP
