Does anyone else’s copy of the sound terrible? I’ve given mine a good clean and then went a replaced my needle and it sound exactly the same!
-
Beautiful copy of this album. Sounds amazing! Probably the best pressing of this album out there
-
I am literally in love with this album and this pressing. The disks look beautiful, and all of them sounds amazing! HOOOWEVER... Placing 2 disk in either side of the gatefold is just purely diabolical. I did not have problems with RED TV, but this album came ALREADY WITH RINGWEAR! The gatefold also shows noticable ringwear both back and front. The paper sleeves also. I would say that the shrinkwrap packaging was wayy toooo tight. Oh and also all of the disk are warped. Still love it though :D Album 10/10
-
Edited 22 days agoThere was no hype sticker on mine, no Made in sticker and no indication on the official packing slip that there was a signed insert. But it was there, on that really thin glossy paper, tucked on top of the folded poster booklet, opposite the CD. I am assuming this is the correct version page... The spine code matches the barcode details above, but there's a barcode sticker on the bottom right rear of the jewel case (6 02465 60592 1). Bought from the TS UK store when it appeared there in March 2025. -
Sorry for those with faulty pressings, but mine is excellent. Very slight warping if I really look for it, but sound clean and full and the individual marbled vinyls are beautiful. A quality presentation of an excellent album. -
The whole album’s concept is presented so well, Taylor puts so much effort into giving the best of what she can give to the fans. Having a full book, colored disk, and pictured sleeves all make this a great album to have. -
Edited 2 months agoGood pressing with no crackle and lots of dynamic range. The 3 stars is for the material - wasn't too impressed with this album. Perhaps lyrically solid, but musically, it felt much like a retread of previous outings. -
Edited 2 months agoThe smallest man and imgonnagetyouback skip... cricket. besides that it is a very gorgeous pressing and I love how each disc is different. wish there was better packing too :( but its rly pretty and im a sucker for marbled pressings and most of it sounds really good so yah worth it imo

AMAZING best quality with best sound worth it⌨️⌨️ nice album -
Surface noise on side A was rough. Had to give it a good cleaning.
Everything else is plays perfectly.
All discs are flat thankfully.
