    Very nice………..

    I was actually expecting a bit more if I’m honest lol. But that could just be because I like very clear diction with a forward vocal & although this ‘is’ excellent it’s just a personal preference that I wanted more ‘Detail’ than ‘Effect’.

    A lot of people lament about the strings & separation and although it’s ’Very Good’ I have other LP’s that are better & more dynamic!

    But I had to hear this because……. Mastered by Ludwig, Cut by Grundman, Pressed by Pallas lol, it had the Holy Grail written all over it.

    I’m doing it an injustice but then I’m comparing it to other Lp’s in my collection such as Dire Straits first studio ‘1979’ album, Leonard Cohen’s ‘Ten New Songs’, Robert Cray’s ‘False Accusations etc…..

    It’s good, I’m pleased I have it. Could be slightly quieter after another Wet Clean/Vacuum Clean, it’s pressed by Pallas so I expected absolute perfection after the first lol.

    A bit quiet but it needs that for the dynamic range.

    All in all, very happy with it, second shelf for me.

      I buying this in mid 2014 when I was going through a very lonely and detached phase in my life. It was a comfort.

        Hi, anyone else with this EAN-number but sticker and no code? Instead of them, a "Made in "-sticker on the backside.

          2 years since I bought it, this album remains one of the very best pressings in my collection (along with three other Beck albums of the same, amazing quality.)
          Superbly flat, clean and it came with a poly-lined inner that has kept it that way.

          I love this record. The strings send shivers down my spine and the sound is unendingly expansive.
          It takes me places.

            Great album if you can find a copy that doesn't have in-fill and other pressing issues.

              Absolutely flawless pressing. One of the best sounding records I have and I snagged it for like 15€!

                My rating is a 10/10 for this record. The sound stage is incredible and sounds as good as most any other record I own.

                  Anybody else find that the volume is super low on this pressing?

                    This is a great sounding pressing from Bob Ludwig. Mine, unfortunately has some surface noise. May be static, and it's not overwhelming, but it can be heard.

                      I am become a big fan of Flaming Lips and Super Furry Animals. This is different, but like this psychedelic folk style that suits him well. The mastering is exceptional and the pressing quality is necessary to pull this mellow and bare compositions to shine, it is Pallas… great. Please get this.
