Notes
Those vinyl pressings that come in a fold-out sleeve in the shape of a cross, also come in a regular picture sleeve but there were also pressings that were sold without a fold-out sleeve. If you are about to submit another version which matches a release already in the database, be reasonably certain that it was initially sold without the fold-out cover rather than it having been lost or discarded along the way.
Some of the vinyl pressings have a non-standard arrangement of the sides:
Record 1 - Side A = Side 1 on label
Record 1 - Side B = Side 4 on label
Record 2 - Side A = Side 2 on label
Record 2 - Side B = Side 3 on label
This is intentional and not a mis-press; it is a practice called automatic sequence and was intended for listeners to play through an entire double album using an automatic record changer.
One possible way to differentiate between pressings that were sold with the fold-out sleeve and those that were not, is that ones that were not have the normal order of the sides although this is not certain.

Decent, inoffensive, safe remastering. No nasties. Not as upfront as the Cooley remaster and maybe abit too safe? The vinyl is GZ Media coloured.... thus higher groove roar and crackle than most plants. Its just about acceptable. I do wish VMP would ditch the audibly inferior GZ colulour presses and go back to the QRP black compound that set their earlier reissues apart. VMP knows their audience dont prioritise sound over base collectability though.

referencing Black Moses (2×LP, Album, Deluxe Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Fold-Out Sleeve, 180g) CR00035
Betters the recent VMP coloured vinyl on almost all fronts. Quieter vinyl for starters. The sound is crisper and clearer. Theres more tape hiss here but its not an issue. This one goes for the jugular and holds you tight. The VMP is more muted, more rolled off. On a crappy setup the VMP is perhaps more forgiving but i prefer this one just beware it comes in with a little heat!
Packaging wise well this crazy replica fold out sleeve is more imoressive than the VMP gatefold but it also a little awkward with it. The VMP has a nice finish to it but is a little darker of repro.
Two fine choices but for the audio playback i have to give the nod to this Cooley remaster. -
Sound: great sound quality and volume, no surface noise at all - very nice pressing
-
Dare I say his best work… more soulful than hot buttered soul but both are great albums -
Aside from being warped (does not affect play), this is an incredible sounding records - warm but detailed and dynamic as hell. Soundstage is as wide as anything. Highly recommended. -
One of VMP's best pressings in my opinion. Incedible mastering, and the packaging is great.
-
What a disappointing pressing. The sound quality is terrible. So much distortion at the high end.
-
really beautiful record, one worth listening to over and over. I was contemplating seeking out an OG but considering how quiet so much of Isaac’s music is, I figured new was the way to go. -

FYI ... my copy has 2016 on center label of both LPs .... not sure if this is the best way to go about fwd that info, Lol. -
I have probably listened to this album more then any other VMP pressing this year - full package was amazing - did have to send it back once - check out my full review here: https://youtu.be/RG0PEOaUI80
