Another copy here (bought in Amazon usa) with no hype sticker in the front, and 'Made in ' sticker in the back. No inner sheet with credits included.
Sound quality is very disappointing, no clarity, so bassy -
My copy sounds more or less like the mp3’s I ed (via mega) back then, so not very disappointed… sure this will last longer than the mp3’s I already lost / erased ?
But still, a nice VMP-version would be appreciated ! -
Fabulous music. Thoroughly disappointing master/pressing on vinyl. Is the CD better than this? -
Not totally disappointed that it’s muddy pressing, the pressing could use a bit of punch and clarity… It leaves you wanting more but overall it’s a good pressing. -
Edited 7 months agoSound: very good sound quality and very good volume, no background noise, very quiet pressing
Inner sleeves were simple white and no inner sheet or hype sticker were included, I think my version should be listed as 2022 repress?!
Was ordered from US Warner Music shop directly -
As noted before, mine came with no hype sticker, no inner sheet and a “made in ” sticker on the back cover. Sound is 8/10, it could be better mastered. -
So at one time this was out of print and hard to find. Now, under the 2010 pressing there’s tons of them being sold as new and sealed. So it’s been reissued. Should be entered as such. I’m guessing the matrix are different, but the sellers can just say, “hey it sealed. I couldn’t tell.” -
Mine came without the front sticker but with a back white sticker that says "Made in ". The sheet with the credits is also not included. Regarding the sound quality, the pressing is great and I have no complaints about the mastering, I guess they were looking for a certain lo-fi feel (specially on the voice or the high frequencies). Either way, much more dynamic than the CD or digital version. -
Edited 4 years agoAgree with the previous comment. Quality of the pressing is very good, but the mastering is muddy. Particularly towards the end tracks on a side. Not much consideration given to the music when mastered. Soundstage is quite limited too. Would love this to get a serious do over. It's an immensely influential album that birthed a whole new era of R'N'B and paved the way for the likes of Kelela, SZA, Lizzo and more.
