    Absolutely astounding pressing of a perfect pop record.

    Debut III / OM10 / Mani / MF A3.5 / Dynaudio 1.3SE

      I recently found a copy of this pressing in great condition. I’m usually into rock, hardrock and heavy metal but I must say this album is probably one of the most essential and influential albums ever regardless whichever music genre that’s being discussed.

      Soundwise it’s a killer. It’s a top quality pressing where the vinyl itself is very quiet.

      Vinyl rig: Michell Orbe SE with SME IV tonearm and Benz Micro LP.

        I seem to have a slight variation.The numbers on side 1 are 22 34 and on side 2 ,1 1.

        Sounds great on my system as well which was cheap as chips.

          high quality pressing, stunningly immersive soundstage that you have to hear to believe. do not hesitate on this one. the UK originals of 'trans-europe express' and 'the man-machine' are also great, but once your system gets really good, i think this is a sonic step even further above those.

          listening setup: rega p6, ortofon mc cadenza bronze cartridge, stein music 'the perfect interface' carbon mat, liberty b2b-1 preamp, hegel h95 integrated amp, elac debut b5 speakers.

              I bought this from Our Price when I was a teen in South London. I didn’t really look after records then. My copy is visibly very scratched. However, because of the quality EMI pressing, it still sounds amazing on my speakers and you can’t hear hardly any clicks or pops.

                Perfectly acceptable pressing in all departments. It plays with dynamics with a non-fatiguing beautifully precise presentation. A clean copy is not noisy to overwhelm any of the music but maybe noticed only between tracks. I have yet to clean mine & this will attenuate that feature. Great for the outlay of £15 ! Love it.
