My copy sounds great, for sure a good way to get some great 242 tracks without breaking the bank....for now.

Pressing is flawless and it feels great to have this classic on fresh vinyl. But it seems to me that the new pressing lacks some of the dynamics of the original. Played them in parallel, old one is more funky.

Mixed opinions on pressing quality. Do I dare to buy it on vinyl?

Headhunter’s been on my wish list for a long time, so the reissue is welcome. No issues with my copy, plays absolutely fine. No surface noise, no pops,… . Vinyl is nice and flat.

There are no pressing issues with mine too. I got it in perfect condition, great sound, superb quality. Can't complain about it.

Play It Again Sam can release this but they can't tube a non faulty Anton video, geesh.
The old US Wax Trax! uses the Euro plates. Stick to the oldies.
Official Version Wax Trax! uses the Euro Foon Plates.
For Front By Front, avoid the 2012, dead compared to the US Wax which also uses jack Adams Euro plates.

Unbelievable.

Never heared so bad sound on new vinyls. Skips two times on side A. The sound is completely overdriven. The s croaks.

Tested on several turntables, also with several needles.

Horrible.

I think, the vinyl goes back to the seller.

Is this pressed from the same plates as the original release?

the cd single that i own lists 1988 both on the cd itself and the jacket.
