I love this set. Every single lp is quiet and flat and the sound is the best I've heard these albums. I'm not really an audiophile but I've always found the sound of these records whether on lp or cd to be very dense (like they're mixed for am radio...

My pressing sounds great. Pretty much no noise and a great soundstage.
|
|
Love it. The pressing has great presence and no noise. Overall a high quality package. So glad to have this amazing record on wax!
|
|
Just discovered Damien and found this in the used bin. I absolutely LOVE this record (it’s also a great sounding pressing)!
|
|
Finally got the reprint. Very much worth it. Just beautiful sound, and my pressing was super clean without any noise.

This is a great sounding pressing of a great unsung album - and relatively easy to find for cheap. Also can I just say that “Poor Old Tom” is a beautiful and moving piece of work…a great song! It’s a nice companion to “Wharf Rat” by the Grateful Dead.

|
This is a great album. If you're a Wall Of Voodoo fan you must immediately listen to Talking Wall Of Voodoo Blues Pt.1!
|
|
Just bought this one - and after months of being obsessed with it on Spotify it sounds so much better on vinyl. This pressing sounds great. There’s lots of depth, the instruments sound full and the choir parts just float out of the speakers.
|
|
Just found this in a used bin for 15 bucks and I am blown away at what a great pressing this is! The bass guitar jumps out…vocals and percussion pop as well.
|
|
Hilarious. It took 5 minutes to get it out! Lucky I had an extra mo-fi sleeve. Sounds amazing though - a great pressing.
|
|
The pressing sounds great. My copy is flat and very quiet. The new mix of the songs just pops. I look forward to spending some time with the bonus songs. Very happy with this package!
|
|
I see this is in the Vinyl Me Please box set. Does that mean they will be sold individually? I've just discovered this album and it's incredible!

Just bought this and it sounds fantastic to my ears (it’s also flat and quiet). It’s a pretty impressive package for the price. It’s a gatefold with poly-lined inner and even comes with the booklet. I have to say I’m very impressed with these Rhino reissues.

This might be a totally nerdy thing but I like how there’s a paper insert with the full size original album covers (Holland and Carl and The Passions). I slipped the Holland cover into the front of my plastic outer sleeve so it looks like the original...

Sounds great. Got the last copy in my local store (even though I didn’t go in until noon). Is it my imagination or does each RSD seem a little less popular than the last one?

I’m new to the party with this band (I don’t know how I missed them in the 80’s) but I love this record! And the pressing sounds great (the sleeve is really thin though).
|
|
This pressing sounds just
great to my ears. David Lindley’s violin (or “fiddle” as he’s credited with) on the song For A Dancer just floats out out of the speakers. |
|
Just picked this up. To my ears it sounds great! Clean and crunchy.
|
|
Let me echo everybody else. This is a beautiful pressing…sound is rich and delicious. The material is also an excellent companion to the original…some songs are just slightly different mixes, others are completely new versions
. If you’re a fan of... See full review |

Somebody’s selling it for $75…but it’s still on sale for $26 on the Modern Harmonics website. The link is above in “Notes.”
|
|
Mine sounds good…flat and quiet. Maybe just lucky I guess….especially since I found it today (Sunday). It seems like there were a lot of unsold titles still available the day after RSD. They had a bunch of unsold copies of the Steely Dan release.
|
|
Just picked this up this morning. Its a great pressing…very quiet!
|
|
At the risk of sounding like everybody else this is a great record and a stunning pressing. The drum sound is amazing. The cover is worth mentioning too...glossy and thick!
|
|
These pressings sound fabulous. The covers are great too. And it’s just to have these albums collected like this. Genius from start to finish.
|
|
This pressing has grown on me. At first I was disappointed because it seemed a little tinny and sibilant...but it’s not that different from the CD I have. The more I listen to the vinyl the more I like it.
|
|
I have to admit I bought this as a novelty because I love the original album, but it stands on its own as a great album. It’s very moody and on the melancholy side...but it’s really beautiful. Very listenable. Plus the pressing sounds great to me. The...

The pressing sounds good on my system...flat and quiet. I was lucky enough to see an ad for the release on Instagram a couple of months ago and get my preorder from Nonsuch in early enough to get an autographed print of the cover art.
|
|
I'm also noticing this lp is suddenly available everywhere (on Yep Roc) as of Spring 2021 and I'm wondering if it's a new pressing or just the same crappy one that came out in 2011 on Yep Roc. As everyone has noted that one was unlistenable (I gave my...

This pressing sounds great! I bought it off their website for 20 bucks...they even autographed my copy.
|
|
I just bought this for 7 bucks and man does it sound good! The songs are great and have aged so well - but it’s the recording quality that blows me away. So full and punchy...lots of brass and percussion, and without any traces of that ‘80’s sound...

Just got my clear vinyl repress of this wonderful album. Despite the simple way it was recorded it sounds great...Mr. Frierson’s voice is up front and has lots of presence. |
|
|
|
|
I concur! It’s indeed a great pressing. But also...what an amazing record! It’s never sounded this good.
|
|
This pressing sounds great. The problem is that the album I bought had sides 3 and 4 of Quadrophenia as the 2nd disc. When I took it back to the store we opened another copy and that one also had Quadrophenia as the second disc. Completely changes the story! 😉

So glad I bought this! The sound of this pressing is stunning...and it’s made the album come alive for me. It’s a masterpiece start to finish (and I haven’t even listened the 3rd disc of extras yet).
|
|
I expected this to sound good after reading the reviews here...but man oh man it’s so good! The drums are bold and warm, while the highs are bright and vibrant and there’s lots of space (not sure if that makes sense - you should hear me try to...

I did the same. One of my favorite albums but an unlistenable pressing! They have to put out a new edition of this!
|
|
For what it's worth, I think this is Randy Newman's best album since all the great ones in the '70's.
|
|
They’ve re-released the entire Monkees catalogue...isn’t it time for a new vinyl version of Raindogs?
|
|
Love this pressing. Quiet vinyl and nice depth. (Also Furry Sings The Blues is such a great song).
|
|
I got the vinyl disc of Time Fades Away inside the sleeve for “On The Beach.” It’s a great pressing but WTF? If anyone has the opposite problem we could trade.
|
|
I love the sound of this pressing! His vocals sound great...warm and right in your ear.
|
|
I bought my copy sealed online and inside the sleeve the record was "Time Fades
Away." Sounds great, but.... |
|
Yes indeed! Especially Pleasant Dreams, perhaps the Ramones most underrated album.
|
|
My 2ND copy of this lp sounds great...quiet with a warm dynamic sound for this moody record. A great repress. The first copy (which i sent back) had a bump pressed into the vinyl that was audible throughout the first track along with all sorts of...

Just bought this pressing...sounds great! Suddenly not so interested in a pricey MFSL pressing.
