$5 Media Mail shipping in the US too.

love this record. just cleaned it again [Audio Desk System Pro] to see if it'll clean up more of the noise on the quiet tracks. But highly recommended vinyl purchase, especially on a warm tube analog system. Just flows. Regarding the earlier review of this being compressed and hard....I don't claim to be an authority on mastering and all that.....but my vinyl copy seems to be more open and airy than many of the new records I buy. So I can't complain or diss this pressing. It sounds fantastic on my system (other than some of the noise during the quiet parts). I just wish there was a list of who's singing what part on which song as I don't know Lang and Veirs voices as well as Neko's. But still, highly recommended for the music and the pressing (despite some light noise, which is only evident on the super quiet parts).

NOISEY TRACKS (for me, on my record)

Beautiful songs but the vinyl sounds compressed and hard. Don't know if it's a recording/mastering/pressing issues or if I just got a bad copy?

I have had no prior experience with any of these solo artists, and basically picked it up on impulse. It's a nice, sombre, multi-faceted album with good sound. Very folky, but there's influences of pop, country, and alt rock in there, too. Generally not a fan of that sort of sound, but the tracks "Georgia Stars" and "Best Kept Secret" really do it for me.
