Thanks for the input Matt ! Your insights are always appreciated 👍
|
|
Thank you ! How ' s the pressing quality ?
|
|
Based on the description notes of this pressing plus some comments from other folks in here, decided to gamble and buy a sealed Nevermind pressing in 2025 with a loose-fitting shrink. Yep, it was this one with ORG plates XXXXXXed out! I do not own...

This shootout might be useful for some in making a decision. The two sound a bit different in my system, but this is still a damn good comparison. https://youtu.be/y_SAfcAGzzs?si=dr9vfevPpr4xUyCy

You're not wrong, but the magnitude of that "better" is what I'm drawing attention to

youtube algorithm suggested it to me today lol thought i'd share: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp5PzfrKFcg

Yep, it should be Paramount, new plant at one point related to VMP. But no longer. Very few LPs pressed in it yet, so no idea where it falls on the quality scale. This is one of those quiet, relaxing LPs where a silent pressing is a must

These sound amazing. I do have a clean original of dreaming my dreams (literally bought it sealed in 2023) and I prefer it slightly. But I really think it's a preference more than it's better. Waylon's voice on the original is just a bit more present....

Do we know if this is AAA? words words words

Thanks for the commentary Ryan, always trying to learn more

Am I the only one with loud ticks on the Roof Is Leaking?
|
|
agree with TotR, this is not a US$40 record, more like a $48.. i love how ppl like to compare apples to oranges.. when you think about it, you can get new AP and Mofi 33rpm records with free shipping for US$40 (US$60 = 45rpm), so Rhino is actually the...

curious why 4 instead of 5 stars? what's missing (love critical reviews!)
|
|
This sounds pretty awesome: good dynamic range, balanced and full sound. The album is also a pleasure to listen to. This Monarch pressing also has LH on the matrix. I got lucky and bought a sealed copy, which I opened today. No pressing defects. I...

agree with nkoscak down below, great dynamics, full sound, perhaps a bit less definition on the upper end, but definitely RHCP's second best album sonically after stadium arcadium. I recommend this purchase (stay away from by the way for example)
|
|
does anyone know if this is AAA, like almost all Speakers Corners?
|
|
Anyone knows if there's a digital step in here. I know it's remastered from the og masters but there's no indication it's AAA like some other AP releases. Concur with reviews in here, it sounds phenomenal.

Do we know if it's AAA? Any info is welcome?
|
|
wow, looks like this is all analogue? can anyone confirm?

Does anyone know if this is AAA or DSD? Curious..
|
|
fantastic pressing, probably one of my best-sounding LPs. The rawness of this recording and pressing is just off the charts; you feel like you're at the concert. I own no other pressings but always compare my LPs to Spotify, and this one is way, way...

Don't own another copy. Relative to Spotify, the LP is more dynamic, nice soundstage and it does have slightly more punch. The vocals sound clearer too, nice warm tone. However, there is significant more tape hiss than the digital version, which is...

Don't own another copy, but this one is stellar. Did my usual comparison vs Spotify; this one is significantly better in terms of detail, depth and punch. Lucky for me, the jacket arrived in pristine condition. Pressing is also flawless, not a single...

Sounds pretty good, especially given its digital source. I don't own the AP version of this album to compare it to, but I do have the self-titled and Morrison Hotel from AP, and those have that live feeling to it, beefy analogue sound, which this one...

QC is an issue, especially at this price point. I actually had to request a replacement. But once I did, all was good. The LP sounds fantastic, bright, detailed, and has great dynamics. And you get the added benefit of longer play with 33-1/3 rpm. I...

Just phenomenal. One of my best-sounding LPs, not only because of MSFL, but also due to Alan Parson's exceptional production calibre. DSD step is a shame if you're looking for that scarcity. But if you're searching for sound, this one is it.
|
|
another interesting point, apparently this album was recorded all in analogue.. i wonder if they kept it AAA or if there's a digital step in there
|
|
|
if those types of things don't annoy you at all, consider it five stars
|
|
|
Aw man, this sounds so good, but the pressing defects are so annoying, on both sides too even after cleaning with a wet vacuum plus using an anti-stat gun, will be returning this
|
|
any comments on this pressing? quality, pressing plant? looking to buy a version of this album
|
|
any comments on quality, pressing, bonus songs? looking to purchase but in between a few pressings
|
|
looking into buying this, quick question about the mastering, the entry says Joe Reagoso did it but pics shows "Mastered by Sterling Sound", apparently George Marino.. does your copy show that? Any mention of Reagoso? Thanks!

can anyone comment on this particular pressing? very high rating but not too many reviews so far? I'm looking for the best pressing available of this album?
|
|
good sounding vinyl, slightly better dynamic range (especially the highs) than digital format (compared to spotify) but not an extreme difference, 4.6-4.7 out of 5. Unlike some of my other Cardigans LPs, this pressing had no defects which is always a...

fantastic, one of my favorite LPs, perfect to listen on a morning drinking some coffee and lounging around
|
|
can anyone comment on this KPG copy? quite a low rating, though not too many ratings in
|
|
maanged to get a replacement on Vol 2, sounds great now, buyer beware
|
|
my pressing had no scratchy patches.. (and I am pretty nit-picky)
|
|
|
i like this pressing, dynamic, good soundstage and fairly detailed. keep in mind that this is not AAA. as one user mentioned below, it is indeed bottom-heavy covering some of the midrange, which may not suit some people (for me, it is slightly...

Paul, could you confirm that this is BG remaster? thanks!
|
|
|
is this really a Grundman remaster? looks like Paul Blakemore per matrix / runout and per pictures as well... can anyone confirm?
|
|
|
sounds great, quiet good dynamic range. bought the box set and it came with this exact version based on matrix / runout (i.e., does not match any of the box set versions up on discogs). unfortunately the vol 2 does not come in as great of a quality.
