Very entertaining alternative version of PG's "Melt" album, as previously mentioned the music mixes are very different from the English version. Even though Peter is singing in German, I was singing all the words in English in my head, haha. Great pressing, some minor surface noise, but nothing unbearable.
-
Edited 27 days agoDidn't have a copy of this album in any format (I know, nuts) and just found this version in a local vintage (furniture mostly) shop in town. Used. But super quiet surface noise. Definitely worth more than the $12 I paid for it! -
This sounds awesome . . . . . . .
-
2002 remaster in mini LP package! What more could you ask for? Great sound and makes the music even more enjoyable. -
First copy had side 1 completely off-centered. Returned and ordered a new one. Waiting for it to arrive. -

I've had...1st press....reissue....2016 reissue...2x45rpm reissue...recent reissue..(all purchased new)....but this Japanese version is the only copy that has FLAWLESS playback. No ticks or pops at all. Superb! -
I've now listened to the first three of these, and they are all fantastic. What's most striking, and the one thing others do not seem to have mentioned, is the dynamic range. Putting the album across four sides would allow for that. This is most noticeable in "Family Snapshot". The closing part, with the little boy, is so quiet it's almost inaudible. -

I have 3 pressing of this record. 2 US releases from 80' & 83" and the first UK pressing. I like the UK Charisma more -

I have 45 RPM versions of these records, but this 40-yr-old copy sounds nearly as good. There is a little surface noise on my copy but you only notice it in the quiet moments (naturally). -
Really great sound on this record! A quiet pressing and excellent remaster that brings the instrumentation/effects hidden in the background to life.
