WOW!! This is maybe the quietest vinyl I own! Excellent dynamics, the bass controlled. Very large stage.
This is probably the combination of using master tape with a very good mastering especially for vinyl. -
Shaking my head and amazed, I recently discovered that the Half Speed Mastered Edition of Abbey Road, which many here rightly rate highly, is being torn to pieces by so-called experts because this Miles Showell cut is included in the current 40th Anniversary Edition. There, it's described as musty. For me, this pressing is absolutely world-class, and I deliberately listened to the original pressing again. The Mofi 45rpm can be described as "better," but that's only if you have the right system and the right room, as it's very opulent. Otherwise, this is the way to go. -
Superb pressing! Vinyl is flat and quiet with absolutely no distortion. The treble and mid-range are detailed and transparent. The bass is deep and tight -- punches with authority. Of note, because the album is two records pressed on 45 rpm, the full version studio tracks are included as opposed the edited tracks on the 33 rpm single record. I remain very impressed with the Abbey Road Half-Speed Master vinyl pressings. They rank among the best pieces in my collection. Highly recommended! -

Edited 4 months agoSounds more balanced, energetic, and natural than the MoFi. Highly recommended.

Edited 6 months agoI own the Stan Ricker double from 2007 and that sounds amazing but I'd like to hear this.
The original U-Matic master was found recently and used for this Abbey Road 1/2 Speed pressing.
The same for Local Hero which I bought.
On another note, the original 1985 BIA pressing sounds superb now when I'm comparing. Some songs are edited but it's loud, punchy and well cut. -
Fantastic pressing and an excellent mix. Bought brand new, perfectly flat and zero noise. For me it's as good as the original. Highly recommended -
Amazing pressing for a good buck.
I also own the Original Master Record from 2015. I must say, the Original Master Record is a bit better than this pressing, but its much more expensive than this pressing.
But overal, its very good. It also come with a nice half speed master certificate which looks fabelous.
Only downside is that the LP's catches alot of dust and i have to make them dust free regulary.
The Original Master Record stays dust free, mainly because the sleeve of the Original Master Record is dust free.

This is absolutely incredible. The sound is just amazingly good. Really happy with this one. Recommended!

Sounds absolutely terrific on my system - awesome, but I'm having trouble getting a copy that's free of pressing flaws... I'm on my 3rd copy now, let's see. It always pops, ticks and crackles in one place or another - even after several professional cleanings... Well, we'll see.
