- Surely a better option than the Music on Vinyl version, as this is clearly an analogue remaster, from the original tapes so it says. The Mov version is sounding very digital to my ears; a great difference in comparison.
This finally opens up all the musical glory hidden in those grooves.... - This record sounds really good in my opinion. Listened after giving it a good cleaning. Minimal noise and quite dynamic. A fine option if you are looking for a relatively inexpensive version of this classic.
- Got a dud as well. Lots of noise in right channel, no punch or sparkle to recording. Bad batch? I wonder if this was sourced from a needle drop? By contrast, bought Freedom Flight at the same time from same vendor and it sounds stellar.
- ...a late amazing discovery in spring 2001, thanks to david byrne's
luakabop-label. no wonder present musicians like beck, prince, stereolab
& high llamas praise shuggie otis that much. subtle soul funk-pearls with
magnificient string arrangements, catchy keyboards and effective drumbox,
which all sounds that modern like recorded yesterday! hailed as a young
black blues guitar-"wunderkind", he was asked to replace mick taylor of
the rolling stones, but shuggie had other things in mind... - This is an absolutely stunning pressing. Dead flat, silent and depth of field and dynamics are tidy and warm. Really fun to listen to after years of the luaka bop CD issue. An absolute bargain! Grab it without fear!
- Pressing is dead quiet, the mastering is good, bit Tidal sounds just a bit better. Cheap kacket, poly-lined inner, no insert
- This is my first hearing of this classic on vinyl.
The pressing is marbled somewhat and is perfectly flat and plays with very little noise, a few clicks in total. Sound is acceptable enough, it isnt obviously audiophile but i enjoyed my listening. Its a brilliant record and quite amazing what this kid could do.
Look forward to trying the MOV version which i expect will be pressed better still but how will it sound 🤔
