    Perfect record, both in of sonics and manufacturing.
    My card looks different than the one in Discogs, all the rest is the same.

      Wow! How this sounds, excellent. The high resolution is much appreciated. Impeccable edition.

        I agree with all the reviews here. This is an incredible remaster and pressing. Flat, totally clean and a sound stage that pulls you in. So far I’ve struggled to find a better vinyl listen. A must have for any audiophile collector.

          I recently found a used copy of this for quite cheap, and it sounds light years better than my US original. That 1986 copy suffered from sibilance so badly that I just couldn't hear anything else. Reissues like this one are a godsend.

            This pressing does sound really good. The percussion in particular sounds amazingly clear. Bass is deep and pure, soundstage is vividly detailed. My copy was purchased secondhand, side one is nearly flawless, but side two was mishandled, and has a couple of scratches that cause audible tics during "Mercy Street". I'll survive.

              Holy crap! No remastering credits for this but the bass is unreal on this release. It's like the bass guitar amp is directly feeding into my listening room! The horns are a bit less prominent on Sledgehammer than I'm used to hearing, but not to the detriment of the listening experience. Way better than the LP in the box set. Highly recommended!

                One of the best sounding records in my collection, the soundstage is wide and separation excellent and yes if only all vinyl could sound this good it would make our shopping a little less frustrating.
                • jasonlollarwinder's avatar
                  really clean pressing and great music and I could see this being one of you best sounding LPs- it does sound great on an early 60s altec 2 way and marantz tube pre and power I have way better sounding alb ums like masterfunk etc https://discogs.librosgratis.biz/release/10236120-Watsonian-Institute-Master-Funk

                    I had been looking for an original 1986 pressing to replace my worn copy for some time, but decided on this one. Not a single regret! This is a real gem in my collection. The vinyl is flat and absolutely silent, no clicks or pops that unfortunately are so typical of new releases. The mastering is brilliant. I was a bit skeptical about the changed order of the tracks, but now I have to it that this album was meant to sound like this. Mercy Street sounds much fuller and is a perfect opener for the side two. I never liked We Do What We're Told as the closing number. On the CD, This Is The Picture sounds like a bonus track. Now everything is finally in its place. And In Your Eyes is the album's perfect closing number. Lets be honest, Peter Gabriel ended his concerts with this song for years.

                      Definitely in my top 5 of best sounding vinyl that I own. I wish all the records I buy today could be pressed this well. The music held within is pure 80s gold! It’s Peter Gabriel! Definitely recommended!
