Sorry to read this. I bought the white variant from amazon UK and mine is pretty perfect, and definitely no distortion on "Ring-a-Ding-Ding".
|
|
I don't know how many copies of this signed edition are out there but amazon.co.uk still has copies for €25 or thereabouts.

I did exactly what Mayfield_1 suggested, only I didn't know he'd suggested it :0
Anyway, here's my very brief review: the green vinyl looks gorgeous but it's a bit noisy. I guess this would benefit from being available as a CD, because it's demos, so... See full review |

It'll be interesting to see if anyone can decipher the writing scrawled on the deadwax (too tiny for my eyes).
That aside, it's a beauty. The packaging is nothing to write home about, but the pressing is dead silent and the music shines through. Apart... See full review |

Anybody can share info about who cut this? Very curious.
Thank you! |
|
Same here: Side 1 is terrible, a crying shame and a disgrace. I guess the only option is to look for a different pressing.
|
|
As others have said, this performance is truly a piece of art.
I bought the double CD on release day but now that I have a turntable, it made sense (for me) to track down a copy of this on vinyl. Prices here aren't bad, but now you can buy it from... See full review |

TML in the deadwax, I can confirm it. Check akki2000's reply to my query of Feb 14.

Excellent pressing, although I don't have any other to compare it to.
From the German importer's notes on this: "The remastering for Pure Pleasure was done by Sean Magee at Abbey Road Studios." I added a note about this on this entry page but not... See full review |
|
Awesome, thank you Rhino!
This is a mono cut by Ian Sefchick, and boy does Otis scream, beg and shout in this presentation! Polyline is a nice touch, GZ has done this monster album justice. |
|
|
Any info on who mastered/cut this? Thank you in advance!
|
|
benheartspam: so sorry, I didn't realise you had replied to my "review".
No, I didn't. I have Sasha's EPs too and they all suffer from some degree of noise, so I wrote it off as the norm for her vinyl records. Thanks for your kind suggestion though! |
|
I own copy number 40 of 500. I bought it from Mark's bandcamp page and it took months to arrive from the US, but customer service was really great.
Apart from being signed by Mark with a silver tip pen (awesome, thank you Mark!), it's cut by Bernie... See full review |

I bought this a while back because I found it quite cheap, still in shrink, in a shop. I am playing it now because hjmaki1013 brought my attention to it - "will my copy also skip?" :o
No, my copy is perfect: no skips, no pops, no ticks. I can't say... See full review |

Cut by maestro Tim Young, this is the one to get.
The music is ace and the pressing lets it breathe. One for the evening. |
|
Much like this other title:
https://www.discogs.com/release/6424104-Paul-Simon-Still-Crazy-After-All-These-Years this is cut by Ryan K. Smith and pressed at RTI. Another winner, although from a purely musical perspective personally I prefer Still Crazy. |
|
Wonderful pressing of a truly magnificent album.
If you have this, the MoFi SACD is redundant. Quiet, flat and centered, cut by Ryan K. Smith and pressed at RTI. What else is there to say? |
|
For once, this is quiet and sounds absolutely great.
No idea who cut it but it's definitely worth the €18 you will pay for it in the shops :) |
|
Lacquer cut by Tim Young, this one is a keeper.
The music speaks for itself, killer Nick Lowe. |
|
I purchased this recently and I am really impressed with the quality of the pressing. Quiet and flat, this record sounds pretty amazing - the soundstage is wide and the voice is so dreamlike you lose yourself into it.
|
|
Daniel Krieger + Pallas = a quality pressing, and this is no exception.
I bought the CD when it first came out, completely blown by the sound I was hearing in the shop, but the CD is compressed, whereas here the music has more room to breathe. Highly... See full review |

This pressing is really very well done - flat, centered and quiet, the "opaque sky blue" (teal?) is cool to look at, the setting is intimate and this pressing really takes you up close with Lights, her piano, her acoustic guitar.
Can't read who cut... See full review |

I can tell you that the amazon exclusive (orange translucent) does not.
|
|
Beautiful pressing, flat and quiet. Sounds excellent to boot for me.
|
|
I bought this on impulse because I had an original copy many years ago, before my parents decided to throw away all my records (thanks mom and dad!).
I was not disappointed. True, it isn't Paul's best by a long shot but the recording is excellent and... See full review |

I concur with the many positive reviews about this pressing: simply beautiful.
|
|
Totally agree with the previous reviewer - a wonderful album. This pressing is flawless.
|
|
Spectacular pressing of a spectacular album! Presentation is flawless, vinyls are flat and super quiet. All analogue release cut by Chris Bellman, couldn't ask for anything more or better.
|
|

|
|
I agree with aerial.boudaries: excellent pressing. This looks and sounds good, thank you Bear Family!
|
|
Ordered the black vinyl version on amazon Italy, got this olive green instead. Flat and quite quiet - although this is recorded in different places, most of them in the open, so there's that.
Lights' acoustic versions of her albums are a thing of beauty. |
|
What a great album! The pressing is okay - just a little bit noisy but not distracting or anything like that. I'm happy I have this on LP record, the CD is quite compressed.
|
|
Really beautiful presentation for a really great album. The orange vinyl is flat and quiet, the extras in the box set are really cool. Thumbs up all the way!
|
|
Lovely presentation - cool yellow vinyl, flat and quiet. I am very happy with this purchase. Long live Lights!
|

Oh me oh my, this is such a treat!
The presentation: beautiful gatefold, informative liner notes, nice poly-lined sleeves and awesome, dead silent, coloured vinyl records (the orange one suffers from edge warp but I can live with it). The music:... See full review |

"Helpless" plays just fine here, and so does the rest of this gorgeous looking and gorgeous sounding record.
Now, if only I was able to fit the nice, black poly-lined sleeve that this came with back into the gatefold... :-/ |
|
Absolutely beautiful. Classy presentation - the pictures on this page don't do justice to the glossy, heavy gatefold sleeve.
As for the music, well, it's Sister Aretha (and Brother Ray) very tastefully remastered by Kevin Grey. What else do you need!? |
|
Same here, unfortunately. The issue is really distracting. Such a wonderful pressing, such a big letdown.
|
|
Another wonderful presentation by Speakers Corner. Excellent pressing, this is one sweet, organic record. Highly recommended.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh what a joy of an album!
The mastering is flawless and the gatefold has a booklet glued to it with pictures of Elvis from Jailhouse Rock to add to the authenticity of the presentation. Wonderful, simply wonderful! |
|
Much like Speakers Corner's "From Elvis in Memphis", this too was mastered by Willem Makkee@EBS, Hannover. So thank you Willem for bringing Elvis into my living room.
What a joy this is! |
|
I have these songs in I don't know how many incarnations - RCA, FTD, countless different remasters... The bass line on "Gentle on my mind" is simply breathtaking. I'm so happy I have this, it's a beautiful, flawless presentation. Thank you Speakers Corner!

No idea who cut this but it's like being in the snake pit with the funk brothers going at it like there's no tomorrow. Standing in the shadows of Motown indeed!
|
|
Luckily, I hadn't read the reviews here before I bought this. No static on the tracks mentioned, only some background noise *between* those tracks but nothing to write home about.
One solitary "pop" in the middle of Rosanna but I can live with it. On... See full review |

Much like her previous record, this one sounds really good.
Slightly off-centre but doesn't affect play. The silver marbled vinyl looks cool. |
|
I agree with the previous reviews: really good pressing of e really lovely album.
|
|
What an emotional experience!
Pressed at Pallas on quiet, flat vinyl, this is truly a joy to behold and to listen to. My records were both very, very clean out of their paper inner sleeves. I cleaned them with my RCM and changed the sleeves for better... See full review |
