Such a great album, but I never listened to it because the 2017 repress is awful. This one is the one you want - not audiophile, but decent dynamics and much more natural sounding (if that makes sense).
-
This sounds fantastic. No issues with it whatsoever. It's a full analog production that lends itself to the format. Mine is flat, noise free, dynamic and clean.
Regarding the album itself, this is a ridiculous debut album. I've been amazed for over two decades that something this powerful is how a band introduced themselves to the world. -
Very smooth sounding RTI pressing. Mine came with the same poly pinkish inner sleeve as some other RTIs in my collection such as the Miles Davis mono reissues. -
Edited 2 years agoWell, i can agree with most of the reviews here, i cant compare with other pressings but this one sounds fairly ok, still isn't better than my Neon Bible and The Suburbs 2017 press in of quality...

If any album deserves a remaster it’s this. The music is amazing but the mastering on every version is subpar. With its 20th anniversary coming in a few years hopefully this will receive the treatment it deserves with an in-depth remixing and mastering job and the double-LP 45 RPM treatment (it’s already pushing it at 48 minutes on 1 LP). If you can find it for cheap on vinyl I wouldn’t tell anyone not to buy it but with the way it sounds right now it isn’t worth $20. I found it used for $12 and felt like that was a fair price. -
I haven't checked the other versions, but this is a beautiful packaging and fantastic sounding pressing -
Love Wake Up, and the youtube of them in a band with David Bowie always makes me cry (with a smile)
