Reviews

  • Confederate's avatar

    This is an OK album and and a solid pressing. However what I do not understand is that it says on the back cover "mixed in digital" whereas the 1989 CD release features the AAD logo on it. That is a contradicition, isn't it ? Besides it does sound like a digital recording. It sounds a bit too clean and too precise and does not have that analogue airiness. [ Playing this using an Ortofon 2M Black cartridge ]
