How is this edition? Worth buying? And what about Hong-Kong SACD? -
Edited 5 months agoreferencing Tin Drum (LP, Album, Ever Reddy) VL 2226
Noisy pressing with lots of surface noise even after giving a good wet cleaning. However, the music is unlike anything that came before. Ground-breaking New Wave synth pop.

Edited 8 months agoThis album is not something I would normally purchase, but I’ve seen so many great reviews, I could no longer ignore the obvious. Yes, it’s everything other reviewers have mentioned, and well worth a place in your collection. Another winner from Abbey Road and Miles Showell. -
Easily distinguishable - the Lyric sheet supplied is printed on off white paper (not RED!) -
referencing Tin Drum = 錻力の太鼓 (LP, Album, Stereo) VIP-6984
The inner lyric sheet is printed on RED paper - the other edition (25VB) are printed on WHITE paper -
Everyone is right - this does sound phenomenal. A superbly produced record, mastered superbly. Music doesn’t sound much better than this! My second disc does have a slight warp/bounce as others have mentioned but it doesn’t appear to affect the playback quality. Rich bass and clear separation, Sons of Pioneers will make u want to cry! It did me anyway. If you have any interest in this album, this is the version you need.
Only gripe is the image quality on sleeve, its a bit more of a harsh black and white and lacking in detail, rather than the slight sepia of the original. So I’ll keep my first pressing for the cover, but listen to this one :-) -
referencing Tin Drum (LP, Album, Mispress, Reissue) V2209
Mine is a slightly different. The record labels have V-2209 but the cover has OVED 158. Matrix on side 1 is MX204587 & V2290-1. Matrix on side 2 is MX200825 & V2209-2. Interesting to note that Tin Drum catalogue number is V2209 whilst David Sylvian Brilliant Trees is V2290. Unfortunately I cannot determine country of manufacture although the MX matrix number indicates Australian. -

Edited one year agoThis reissue is a mispress: Side A is from David Sylvian's first solo LP Brilliant Trees, released the same year (1984). Side B is from Tin Drum proper. -
