The Breeders – Last Splash

Side C/D is a lot better for me (so far), but side A/B was a bit muddy and noisy

Underwhelming, such as the rest of the “Half Speed Mastered at Abbey Road”.

No highs, muffled mids and muddy lows.

It’s not the worst sounding record, but the CD os far superior.

I can say with full confidence this version sounds much better than the 2018 reissue. A little pricey though

Unfortunately my copy suffers from ticks and pops here and there. Even after a deep clean. Nothing too majorly distracting though.

Great remaster - dynamic range has not been brickwalled, extra tracks are cool. A shame about the cardboard sleeve, as it is not the same size as all other CD cases would be, so doesn't sit in holders, and inside booklet is in black and white.

Does anyone have red vinyl with red labels??? Etchings are slightly different as well. PLAIN 140 A 67626 RE-1, PLAIN 140 B 5-67627

I am interested in purchasing a copy at a reasonable price. Please message me if you have one for sale.

No, issues here.

Just brutal lo-fi indie rock.

So, cool to hear indie distorted guitars again.
Love it.

Mastering and pressing are really good, too 👍

Probably not worth the £45 standard retail price. I get that it’s a triple vinyl, so there are inevitable costs incurred in going with that format, but there wasn’t really any need for that. Two or three songs per side, cool. I may as well stand by my record player the whole time waiting to flip the disc over because by the time I’m settled back on my sofa, it’ll nearly be time to get up again. That’s why I still love my OG 80s/90s vinyl. Five or six songs per side, no worries. That said, I still had to have this. Last Splash. What an album. Right up there with the very best. This version is very cool, as an artefact. Sounds pretty damn good. Hate the inner sleeves! Clingy and scratchy. Also, creased and ring wear showing already, straight out of a brand-new factory-sealed copy. So, £45? Jog on! I got mine from a ‘Like new’ Amazon marketplace seller for £25, so I’m pretty happy with that. Recommended, with all the caveats above.

Fantastic reissue! It looks and sounds great, and getting so many of the B sides on side 2 was a nice touch. This is how modern anniversary reissue cassettes should be done. Highly recommended.
