Reviews

Is Touch and Go planning another repress? It’s been sold out everywhere since Albini’s ing. People want crazy prices for copies. A 30th anniversary edition would be appropriate, RIP Albini. -
The story was they detached the digital preview from Abbey Road's chain to cut this all analog.
-
very fat sounding, which is a good thing. however the cardboard sleeve is kinda tight and scuffs up the vinyl. -
Does the front cover print appear sideways when held like a regualr gatefold on all pressings? Or is mine a misprint?
-
Edited 3 years agoBought from Amazon, packaging is really cool and the record sounds great. I'm told this is AAA, but I don't have a 100% source on that. It sounds like it and it would fit with Albini's style. The record itself was super dusty when I pulled it out, but a little carbon fiber brushing and there's no significant surface noise to speak of. Great pressing for pretty cheap, I recommend. -
Edited 5 years agoSounds amazing. Fatter, louder, more dynamic, and a hell of a lot more in your face than the digital versions I've listened to (CD and Spotify). Sounds like a veil was lifted off of the recording. One of those rare occasions when the vinyl version sounds like an almost totally different album. Highly recommended.
