    Not sure about all the complaining about mastering...on my austen this actually sounds fantastic. Deep bass, vocals crystal clear. No surface noise at all and no pops, crackle. It does need to be cranked a bit higher to get all the dynamics, so maybe people are listening to this too softly... this album is meant to be cranked for sure. Don't worry about the neighbors judging. The packaging is a bit meh with the only extra being the gold leaf details. Don't know what more you could ask for.

      I compared 2020 US version against this. A lot of surface noise is detected on the MC30 release. No surface noise was detected in VMP release, however, the sound was not remastered, then it is flat and some vocals are not highlighted, however, sound is ok.

        Great pressing!! Don't believe those reviews claiming otherwise, they're probably from people with poor equipment.
        This pressing, like all VMP releases I own, is dead quiet, no surface noise whatsoever.

        The only complaint I have is that they should have included an inner sleeve. Wonder why they didn't, since their other Mariah releases do have one.

        But otherwise, if you want Mariah's Daydream album on vinyl, this is the one!!

          I was expecting more from this release since it was a VMP exclusive. Unfortunately its a letdown, as the entire album sounds very flat. It has no skips or hissing but the overall sound is completely unremarkable. Even the CD & lossless versions sound better than this.

            Sounds better than the aweful reissue. That’s enough to pick this up.

              The pressing is not horrible and it has less sibilance than the original 1995 pressing but there is still some sibilance and, annoyingly, it lacks power and depth compared to other pressings.

                Is it as good as the 2020 reissue? no but its a pretty pressing and the gold lettering on the cover make it worth it for me!

                    somewhat flat and lack of depth, i prefer the cd sounding compared with this pressing

                      I'll add that it sounds waaaaay better than the standard US release from late. So there's that.
