Hi,
what's the point of the "Tütchen" behind almost every title?
CharlieHustle55 Sep 20, 2024
Found a relatively clean (VG+) copy for $10. Sounds great. Great separation and dynamics, Stevie’s voice jumps out at you. Would maybe only consider the RSD for the extras, sound quality in this would be hard to top, especially for the price.
JonProphet Apr 6, 2023
My copy has the following runout:

ST-MR-814732-A Precision Lacquer SM. + SLM + △769-X 0-1SM2-3 SP

Its not in the database. I believe I have 2 copies of the same runout.
CaptainMurphy95 May 15, 2022
Can't imagine the VMP pressing sounding better than this, though the volume is probably louder I'm sure. There's so much depth here and amazing dynamics! Also it's way easier to find and cheaper, even for a NM copy
Vinyl-TP Apr 15, 2022
I have a Near Mint original. I would call it Mint, if it was still sealed. Sounds absolutely perfect! If vinyl today was pressed with the care and quality control that it got back when vinyl was our main format, nobody would ever complain. Things like warps or off center spindle holes, etc on a brand new record were not a concern back then. At all!
ridenrun02 Oct 22, 2021
Pops, crackles & static right out of the original sleeve first play. Soon dubbed to a low-fi cassette & played that instead and set the lp aside.
alemezbolt Apr 8, 2020
Vinyl Me Please will be releasing this as Essential Record of the Month for May 2020 on 180g blue and black galaxy vinyl, and remastered AAA from the original master tapes by Ryan Smith from Sterling Sound, just a few months after Rhino issued the Gold vinyl.

I find the fidelity and depth of this pressing to be outstanding...any other experiences? Ms Nicks' vocals simply leap off this vinyl!
