Various – Waiting To Exhale (Original Soundtrack Album)

Does anyone know if this is an AAA pressing. Kevin Gray from Coheramt mastered this and has his intials in the dead wax wondering if this is from analogue tape or digital files? I have 1995 original and it definitely sounds crisper and more digital but this has much more bottom end and flows more organically to me ears

Recording is super clean and is a fabulous soundtrack played on Rega P8 with Alpheta 3 MC and Kef R500’s

Surprisingly sounds great despite cramming all those songs in just one LP. Will recommend to those who are trying to get this soundtrack in vinyl for a cheaper price that the 2LPs go for.

So happy to have this in my collection! And I’m very pleased with the audio quality it’s very good!

Gorgeous pressing. Super quiet and wide soundstage. Plus, it's an A+ soundtrack.

Beautifully done re-release by Real Gone Music! Not perfect, but definitely worth the price of the reprint. I'd get it while it's available before the 1,000 are gone!

PROS:
* First time release on vinyl in the United States, January 2016. Previously there was only a UK release.
* Nice sturdy gatefold with fullsize cast photo printed inside!
* Pressed on translucent wine purple vinyl.

CONS:
* The re-created UK-style Arista labels look pretty disappointing: the Arista logo is jagged and horizontally compressed out of ratio and they were printed with extra bleed room around the copyright text.
* There's a mistake on the master of TLC's "This Is How It Works" that sounds like a skip even though the vinyl isn't skipping there.
* The lyrics aren't included as they were with the CD booklet.
* They replicated the original artwork rather than resetting the text, so it has the same typos like mispelling Aretha Framklin or leaving little gaps in the artwork where the staples in the CD booklet would have been.
