All items for sale are from my personal collection. I'm in college and return home occasionally, which is why I disappear and reappear within a weekend with random things for sale.

May 1977, enough said. If you're a dead head, this is a slept on release! Like the below comment said, its crazy no one has left any sort of comment!

I agree with the Abbey Road, Let It Be and Revolver sets, but hard disagree on the Sgt Pepper and White album ones. Just on the white album one alone there is a new mix, the entirety of the esher demos (27 tracks), 3 CDs worth of outtakes and sessions...

The US tape copies used to cut Sabbath records had a lot of EQ done to them, specifically on the upper end. This might be the better way to go for your preferences honestly, unless you want to shell out big bucks for the OG UK pressings.

If the MP3 sounds better then I think you need to adjust your setup. I have a modest setup and it sounds fantastic on mine. RKS makes fantastic cuts of albums.

Not a well recorded album, but this pressing brings the best out of a mediocre recording. In your face, great low end, and across the board a great mastering job. I don't have a US pressing but sold my RKS 2011 pressing to pick this up. The RKS is a...

pHarmanaut, this came out in 2018 before AI generation was widespread and started producing somewhat decent results, so I think its just an objectively weird (and imo BAD) drawing/painting of Hendrix. It looks hideous. Its even worse than the First...

It was pressed at MPO, which is a pressing plant based in France. Its a US copy, it was just pressed and sold in the US

Just wait for a black vinyl version. Same thing happened with 3001, just wait a few more months for by the unofficial version with G Tearz.
|
|
Yeah, on the DR database it has a DR reading of 8 while the 1992 and 2011 masters have a 10 or 11.
|
|
I don't have this pressing but it looks awesome. That alternate cover looks pretty f'ing cool. And it has the matrixes for a first UK pressing. It would be cool to own one of these for sure.
|
|
rchallen Yeah I'm confused. I have no idea how the 2022 version is beating out the 2010. I have the 2010 and have a first UK, I used to have a US reissue from probably around '74-'76. What are some other pressings you'd recommend?... See full review |

The one you have linked is also incomplete, its at least missing Meglomania.

Sounds great on my copy, but Side A is seriously pressed off center. The end of side a is unlistenable.

I used to have this pressing, I think the porky pecko pressing is the winner in a comparison between the two. The bass is a little bit more defined and not as boomy I guess. Did this on a Fluance RT85 with the Ortofon Blue with vintage dynaco speakers...

I’ve heard lossless rips from the original warner bros., the Castle, and the 2009 remaster and I prefer this one out of all of them. A little less dynamic range than the castle but I think the EQ choices make up for that.
|
|
Yeah this cover really does suck. The Cry of Love has a much better cover.
|
|
Why did you give it a one star rating then?

All I see is CD CD CD CD... this is the vinyl entry.

Queen albums were notoriously NOT well recorded lol. Their first and second albums were notorious for that actually. I have a first UK pressing and it sounds as good as it can get.
|
|
Just added the deadwax, this is a recut by Chris Bellman.

Most brain dead reviewer on this site I swear to God. GTFOH!

|
Stellar box set, one of my absolute favorites. My main album disc was a little dishwarped but not too bad and plays just fine. The mastering is superb on these discs. I prefer the recut of Sun Giant in this box slightly compared to the original 2fer...

This is a great sounding digital version of this album, better than the 2011 by a decent margin.
|
|
|
What a joke, this album on vinyl is NEVER in stock and is always being flipped. Opted for the CD version because of it.
|
|
Same here, false advertising. I want to return this because of it.
|
|
Much better mix than the mono, but a lot of people already know that. You can't go wrong with the one box reissues, they sound killer and still have that vintage sound for a more reasonable price. Plus, this one has the flipbacks which is a bonus.
|
|
I bought a sealed copy of this, so it's dead quiet with no groove wear. I normally opt for mono on the earlier albums, especially their first two, but this mastering sounds FANTASTIC here.
|
|
I first heard the remix digitally and wasn't a fan, as it had a digital "sheen" over it. Not Giles/Sam Okell's fault, but it's probably due to the AI technology separating the tracks on certain tracks. This vinyl version is superb and sounds great....

Disappointed with this pressing. I had the 2010 pressing but sold it a few months ago prior to the reissue announcement. The sleeve is not as advertised and is a single sleeve and NOT a tip-on style, and feels incredibly cheap (and mine got a seam...

Your comment makes no sense, they are all the same mastering job.

This pressing is fantastic. Even songs I don't care for (mainly Maxwell) are so much enjoyable to listen to. This will be as good as it will get for me since price is a bit of a barrier for me, especially since I'm across the pond in the US. Blows my...

Terrific pressing. As someone on a different album stated that the original UK monos emphasize the vocals more and the 2014 mono reissues (the only other pressing I own) emphasize the lower end. This is a LOUD cut, and the 2014 is definitely more...

Good instrument separation on this one and is balanced well, but lacking a lot of the energy that's present on the 2014 mono. I would assume an original stereo or a 70's reissue would sound great.

By far the best pressing of this album I have heard. I can only compare the 1975, 1977 and 2014 US reissues. Lots of low end and the high end was mastered tremendously. My '77 copy was a bit shrill on the top end and didn't have a lot of bass.
|
|
Mine has a 76 hand written, I think you're right.
|
|
JennyTaylia451 To an extent, yes that's true. But generally the consensus is that this is by far the best one. To me, this is like the mono mix expanded into stereo and it kicks... See full review |

This pressing blew me away. Way better than my 1975 US copy I haad.

If you're looking for Queen's worst sounding album (not musically, of course), Queen II is definitely it. They overindulged themselves with their overdubs to the point where the audio quality began to suffer, especially on side black. However, this is...

cmarti Because they probably took the master tape back to the UK and sent a copy tape to the US like they always did. See full review |
|
Great sounding pressing, but the songs that got edited is a tragedy. Delilah, Ride the Wild Wind, and All God's People should have been on the chopping block NOT Don't Try So Hard, Bijou, and I'm Going Slightly Mad.
|
|
I initially did not like this set when I first got it. Right off the bat, Amazon shipped it in the worst packaging ever to the point where the outer box was damaged and a few of the vinyl sleeves had minor damage and I was told they could not replace...
