Ariana Grande – Dangerous Woman

No pink blob on mine, the purple swirl is bright and visible on each side. Discs are pretty heavy too. A bit of surface noise here and there, but nothing major. It's more noticeable in between tracks than on any of the songs. Sound quality is pretty good overall, but I did notice a bit of compression issues on Greedy, which is unfortunate as that's my favorite song on this album. 🥲

This release is gorgeous–I'm really glad to have this ISO after waiting so long. The rice paper lined plain sleeves were also a welcome surprise. I did import my copy from the EU so it did come with seam splits though. No pink on my copy, just pretty purple on surprisingly heavyweight vinyl. For those wondering–the pink blob copies were pressed in Canada so if you want to avoid those pressings just get this German/"Made in EU" pressing.

Im on my 3rd copy of the purple and black swirl and each of them had this similar issue with surface noise. The first one I owned only had the issue on one song but it was very repetitive so I got a replacement which was way worse so they replaced it again. Received the 3rd one but it still has this issue but only on one song so I gave up with ing the store. Hopefully she releases the 10th anniversary with bonus songs and better sound quality.

i got this from arianas uk store and i was dreading bc i didnt get any tracking info, but the mailer had a customs note taped to it and the discs r so pretty, disc 1 definitely has purple but it looks like it doesnt because of my cloudy inner sleeves but the purple is more noticeable on disc 2

I had the pink blob pressing of this in the past and hated it so much so I sold it, this year my family got me the European pressing with the UK who the hype sticker as a surprise and wow! Sounds much better than the standard black, and miles better than the pink blob, whilst looking the best out of all of them!

love this pressing! got it after they restocked it on the uk webstore and neither of the two discs came with the dreaded pink blobs. the purple is not too muted so it makes a nice contrast with the black. disc 1 has a little bit of surface noise on one side but it’s nothing too major. disc 2 is dead silent

there was a restock on recordstore.co.uk website and it is the european pressing with the white hype sticker

Dead silent pressing on mine, heavy vinyl astually feeling 180g. The colour is so great and I’m so happy I have the UK editions because it really seems like they put better effort into the pressings!

Does the early November 2022 repress of this still come with the pink blob? Has anyone gotten theirs yet and could speak on that?

Does anyone here can confirm that the color from the latest repress (late may 2022) has slight improvement than the other one from the 1-year-long pre order? cause I someone said that the DW from the late may repress looks more decent/nicely blend.
