Charli XCX – Charli

Stellar clarity and amazing dynamics, but these discs were concerningly filthy for a sealed copy. Fully coated in dust and paper residue, plus patches of some cloudy stuff (like something was sprayed then dried) which thankfully came off with a lengthy wet clean.

Top notch pressing for an incredible album. Sounds flawless and has a lot of depth. 10/10

I have a pretty dirty record but it still the best from my collection in of sound. Amazing record, definitely has some improvements on vinyl format.

Not clear version but I bought this because it's a good album. This pressing is whisper quiet. A quick static brush wipe and played right out of the sleeve. If you like Charli and her music and want a physical copy buy this. It sounds fantastic to my old ears

AMAZING sound quality, really good, one of my best sounding records!
It's not totally clear, kind of milky clear actually, and fits the album aesthetic so well
I recommend not buying this record sealed, the clear and black variants share the same barcode with no hype sticker, it's really easy for sellers to think they have this variant when it's actually a black disc

As others have commented, the record is clean sounding, superb, and the clear looks fantastic against the artwork. And YES the only way to know if it's clear or black is to open it, the numbers are the same, there are no indications anywhere! Knowing what I know now if I was buying a sealed "clear" version I would ask that it's opened before I buy because 99% (I believe) it will be the black version. Clear was limited and is rare.

Great sounding pressing.
The gatefold is made beautifully! Pressing is totally quiet and has a lot of depth to it. I’m beyond impressed. Also deciding to go for 45 rpm instead of 33 adds to the great sound. Although they had to shorten “I shake it” a little to make that possible. But I’m very happy with my record whatsoever.

I’m at my wits end trying to find this vinyl. I’ve ordered 3 different copies from different discogs s, Amazon, and other websites each listing it as the clear version and I’ve opened each to find it’s black. Is there ANY way of distinguishing the black from the clear? I see it sealed in local shops all the time but I don’t have the heart to keep opening sealed copies hoping for a clear version.

Found this at my local indie here in Oregon, despite the “Made in ” logo. Can’t compare to the American edition on clear vinyl, but this pressing is astonishingly good. The 2LP 45rpm presentation gives just incredible depth and presence to the mids and bass. Sparkling clarity and detail. Dead quiet vinyl. Worlds better sound than the pressing of Crash I have. If you like her music, this should be a must buy.

Picked up second hand for retail and it’s gotta be one of the clearest sounding records I’ve got. I was hesitant to get this on record if only for some of the sounds maybe not translating on vinyl but I was wrong for sure. Sounds brilliant and the clear matches the album so perfectly
