    It is good for what it is: a repress of a gimmicky edition from the past. It looks good, though I wouldn't call it Gold by any stretch. Piss yellow, yes.

    Soundwise... I mean it's a long album stretched on 3 sides and it sounds like one: it lacks bass at many places where it should've been an assault and never gets too high on voices. Flat, in a stoic way. Endorphinmachine, for example, sounds soooo compressed it struggles to get you there. I hope that with the next reissue scheduled for June they will master it properly for all 4 sides, and hopefully it would become a definitive one.

    Pallas still knows how to properly print their records though, there's not a single noise or crackling through the whole Experience.

      Exellent pressing and amazing sound. Discs are flat and Prince Gold Experience sounds like never before. Recommended.

        This is excellent pressing by Pallas and the sound is excellent. I am was concerned, because many Prince albums I have heard did not impress me.

          Is anybody else experiencing a fair amount of sibilence on their copy?

                  As much as I've wanted this record on Vinyl I am reminded of how much I hate Dolphin, Now and Billy Jack Bitch; whilst Prince was being astoundingly prolific at this stage, consistency was not always there hah :)

                    This pressing is the one to get, made with love, respecting the artist's legacy. Nothing bad to review, buy it with your eyes closed if you get the chance.

                      Great album finally rereleased on vinyl! Top pressing as well. Maybe they could've put more effort into the covers but other than that it's pefrection.
