According to the Jean Michel Jarre website, and other sources, this was originally released in 1972 not 1973.
|
|
The mastering of this version includes the hand clap at the beginning of track 2 same as on the original vinyl release. Some later issues of the CD omits this.

I agree. I really like this album. It was the first Genesis album I ever bought. I got it new in 1979.
|
|
A great release, a great performance and well recorded "mini album".
|
|
There is a mastering error on disc 2 in that the first part of Track 4, "Los Endos", is included with Track 3, "Dance On A Volcano" (and the "Drum Duet"), Tracks 3 and 4 could have been combined as one and indexed into 3 sub-chapters. At any rate even...

Can anyone tell me if the download includes lossless FLAC or WAV files?
|
|
I just got a used copy of this and mine is a misprint. CD 1 contains the contents of CD 2 (including CD 2 matrix) but labeled as CD 1. Anyone else out there have the same misprint?

My pressing of this is really nice sounding. Very clean and excellent sonic quality.

I just got my copy of this today. No download card came with mine.
|
|
I agree with Huub123 that this is a noisy pressing. My copy of this pressing is very noisy, especially within the first 30 seconds of each side however the noise persists through the entirety of each track. This is far from being the best example of a...

The sound of this release is very muffled and low volume (not cut very hot). I really wonder if the low quality of this release it due to the source or due to the mastering of the LP.

Excellent review by progfan97402. I just picked up this album a few months ago and find it to be fantastic. I learned about it after seeing an ARP documentary on YouTube. I think what Powell achieved here using synths, and the extent of how he used...

I purchased my box set over 4 years ago and today I played the Obscured By Clouds CD with no issues encountered. My BDs seem okay as well. See my other post above.

In response to other posts regarding quality issues, I purchased this box set over 4 years ago. I played all of the discs (CDs, DVDs and BDs) within a few weeks after purchasing. I did not encounter any issues back then. Today I checked the...

I just got my copy and I agree with the other positive comments that this is a great pressing. Mine is very clean with no pops or crackle. Great fidelity with excellent dynamics.
|
|
My version does not have "RCA Music Edition..." printed anywhere on the cover but everything else matches. Mine came with "The Atlantic Group" inner sleeve (square corner version that is sort of 'olive' in colour). I recall buying this record new from...

I have no idea but this video is interesting. https://youtu.be/P3G3-MKPg04

I just got my copy from JPC and it sounds great. According to JPC this version was released on 16.11.2009. https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/poprock/detail/-/art/Kraftwerk-The-Man-Machine-International-Version-Remastered/hnum/6135526

I agree. I got mine when it first came out. A brilliant album! Fantastic!
|
|
I just got my new silver coloured copy number 9314. Just like many of the other positive comments here mine sounds really good and the pressing is of high quality with virtually no noise. It was well worth it.
|
|
I just got a copy of this pressing. I held it up to the light and the vinyl is dark, translucent cherry red in colour.
|
|
I think that this release should be listed as Germany since the label is based in Berlin and the disc is pressed by Optimal Media which is also based in Germany. I have this CD and nowhere on the cover or disc is there any indication this is from the UK.

I purchased mine new back in the early 2000s. It is a very nice and quiet pressing and the gatefold cover is of really nice quality. I don't know what an original sounds like but this one sounds great.

|
I double checked my copy of this LP (exact same runout matrix) by comparing it to the 2009 CD https://www.discogs.com/Kraftwerk-Radio-Activity/release/1976903. A5 "Intermission" is present but it is shorter with a running time of approximately 0:25...

I checked my copy by comparing it to the CD I have. A5 Intermission is present but B5 Transistor is missing on my pressing.

I purchased mine new and the first record is quite a poor pressing. Lots of noise at the beginning of side one. Records 2 and 3 are better. I ended up getting an early mint Japanese pressing of the original release to compensate for the poor pressing...

This version is fantastic. The sound is great and the pressing is very clean with very low noise. One of the best pressed reissue records I have heard in a very long time. The extra LP with the vaious alternate takes and mixes is also excellent.
|
|
I agree. I find this CD to be muddy. The original LP I have sounds much better to me, more open and more detailed.
|
|
Thanks for sharing this info and the link. I just purchased this CD. If read this first I would not have purchased it.
|
|
Mine is just like what you describe, LP1 is clear and LP2 is white with silver marbling plus the etching on side 4.
|
|
I just listened to my used copy that I bought back in 2004. It sounds great and the pressing is very clean. The gatefold is really nice and it has the feel and appearence of an original copy. I think this version is worth getting if a clean copy can...

Does anyone know the difference between these two Dutch pressings? They appear identical and the one entry has no matrix info included. https://www.discogs.com/Roger-Waters-The-Wall-Live-In-Berlin/release/527427 and...

Hi, I found this site. It is very interesting and helpful. http://www.cvinyl.com/labelguides/island.php

My copy has the correct tracks on each side. Your copy might be an early (mis) pressing. Who knows?

I just got my book with the 7" reissue and both are really nice. I learned about this release from the Tonefloat newsletter sent out on 07 March 2019. Therefore I am certain the 7" reissue is legitimate.
The following is an excerpt from the Tonefloat... See full review |

I have a white label promo version of this LP. The label is exactly the same except it is white with the added text PROMOTION COPY NOT FOR SALE. The matirx is the same as this listing expect there is a small capitol P before the ECM and after the CP,...

I have a mint copy of this Music On Vinyl version. To me it sounds great and the pressing is very quiet. I don't have an orignal pressing to compare it to but to my ears is sounds like this re-issue was mastered from the original tapes or from a...
