Missing Persons – Spring Session M

Great pressing. On my system the sound is dynamic and deep. Dead flat and silent as well.

Great sounding album
Great band with Terry Bozio on drums .
Great purple color on album

Have the club addition and after putting this on, I was blown away how much better this one sounds! So much more punchy and the stage is huge! One of the best 80's new wave bands out there and this is so far my favorite pressing!

Essential early 80s new wave album. A flawless combo of synths,ripping guitar,tight booming drums & sublime vocals. Crystal clear production & engineering. A beautiful chemistry of talent,innovation,uniqueness & punk attitude.

My A Side is noted here, but my side B is this one:

My vinyl is also very darkly semi-translucent

Sound... Sounds really good. Nice balanced mix. Everything is crisp and clear. Good mix!

Edit: Just read above this is mastered by Bernie Grundman. Of course the mix sounds great!

Just a random observation. I have 4 Missing Persons CD's that feature "Destination Unknown" (probably my favorite song of my entire lifetime), and this Rubellan Remasters release has the longest running time at 3:41. By running time here, I mean, the music is actually playing for 3:41, not including any silence at the end of the actual track. I compared all 4 tracks and it definitely has a longer fadeout than all the others! The others are "The Best Of Missing Persons" (1987) 3:35, Classic Masters (2002) 3:30 and "Spring Session M" (1995) 3:35.

Received a good condition copy, ran through an ultrasonic cleaner and it sounds quiet, clear, almost new. Good separation. Very happy with this pressing.

I didn't have any big complaints about the first pressing. Agreed that it didn't have the same highs as original copies but it was punchy and sounded good. The new purple pressing improves the highs and sounds more like a complete remaster. I don't know how anyone can complain about too much bass because there's only so much that can be cut into vinyl, and this sounds like a good amount. Why people want a new remaster to sound just like their forty year old copy makes no sense to me, it's supposed to be improved and I hear details in this I've never heard before. Some people are just never happy.
