referencing Actually (LP, Album, SRC Pressing) ELJ-46972
Great sounding pressing! Absolutely massive dynamic range, stereo field and tight sub bass.
Basically zero noise floor! -
referencing Actually (LP, Album) 064 74 6972 1
Sounds decent, I think the best version of this album is on cd -
referencing Actually (LP, Album) 64 7469721
This is a great album by PSB which, together with Please and Introspective, are and will always be their milestones. The songs on this album are all beautiful. -
referencing Actually (LP, Album) PCSD 104
Decent enough album but one of the nastiest sounding recordings I've ever heard. I'm actually scared to replace it in case it's just badly mastered. -

πολυ καλος δισκος εντυπωσικα αποτελεσματα αν δεν χασμουριοταν στο εξωφυλλο θαν ταν για 10 γιαυτο 9 βαζω -

Great pressing. Different cover. Sounds very good, as others stated. -

"Printed in Holland by EMI Services Benelux B.V., Uden" - There are no such inscriptions anywhere!
I have exactly CDP 7 46972 2 AR @ 5 + + -
Edited one year agoI bought my copy in 2011 sealed with a sticker in a mere plastic wrap with both records but no outer cardboard to hold them both. I did not keep the outer plastic sticker, sadly.

The 1987 European (most likely German) DMM pressing is nothing short of HORRIBLE! I grew up listening to the US EMi Manhattan 1987 CD and I understand this is a digital recording, but the DMM makes it sound REALLY HARSH. Brittle. Not enjoyable at all. You're better off with a UK or US pressing of the time, or the 2018 remaster. Just avoid this DMM pressing. It's not a good demonstration of what the technology can do or maybe this is the wrong album to master that way. -
referencing Actually (Cassette, Advance, Album) none
"What Have I.....?" (reprise) is simply a section lifted from the intro to the standard Extended Mix.
