Edited one month agoHow is this the 35th Anniversary edition? Wasn't the original released in 1988? Have i missed something? Apologies if I'm being a bit stoooopid. -
Cool! It finally got a legit repress! But what’s up with the bullshit of trying to convince us that 1988 to 2025 is 35 years…??
-
This record is mastered flawlessly. The music is great but not necessarily my bag. The recording is top notch I’m sure and sounds great on any format. But very few records make my system sound as good as this record does.

To think I purchased a still-pristine, mint copy of this classic at a thrift store back in '03-'04 for $1. The prices I see it go for now are insane.
-
Hopefully, the reissue of this album will bring the price down of the original copies. Not willing to drop $75-100 for this. -
Reissue is confirmed to be coming this summer per https://x.com/tchapmanonline/status/1780936213165125722

Hopefully the appreciation Chapman got at the Grammys will encourage TPTB to do a repress.....let us hope it will be in the hands of someone that will do it well and with care, and not some crapola operation that will license the rights, do it on the cheap and not give a hoot about sound quality...... -

This pressing is another prime example why the “Avg Rating” above should be used as a guide and not fact. This sounds phenomenal. The crisp clarity of Tracy’s voice, guitar, the drums, and low end bass will blow you away. Everything sounds excellent and such a great album as well.
