Michael Bublé – Christmas

9,5/10 Det beste Julealbumet som finnes i mine øyne. Michael Bublé sin stemme er bare orgasmisk

This has to be one of the cleanest sounding new records in my collection.

A Lovely Christmas album; it has a good sound and is well recorded!

I have an Opaque Red that have "Manufactured in Czech Republic" text on label, same as the hype sticker on the back but is not listed on the versions here

Sound of Vinyl are tryinng to flog this for £150 (reduced from £180 two weeks ago). You can guess that it's an unbelievably greedy release from the fact it's still widely available two years after release. I got it for £52.92 in a huge Amazon price drop, but honestly even at that price it's not a bargain. Tacky foil Xmas cards have nothing to do with Buble. The hardback book is not many pages and mostly photos. The vinyl LP isn't even a gatefold and has a plain paper inner - not even a poly-lined sleeve in the absense of a picture inner sleeve. The main CD can be bought for £5.95 which shows what a rip off this collection was at the original price. The bonus CD contains just 7 tracks - one of which is "White Chritmas" that was already included on the main album. Fortunately the vinyl sounds pretty good, but I feel sad that there are people out there who apparently paid £180 for this lacklustre lame package.

When putting up the tree this is the first record I pull out of my collection to listen to. Belter.

I had real issues with two copies of this pressing. Horrible skip on the run in on track one side one and really bad grating noise on the right channel about half way through side two. In between the sound was clean and warm but these two faults make it unplayable in my view and it was returned.

My copy has a sticker on the back, stating “Made in the Czech Republic” The label also states the same. I can't find a listing here for that detail

Excellent mastering and pressing. No surface noise on my copy, tonal balance is on point. Looking forward to playing this in 2 months time.

Where can I get this on the quick (aka before Christmas)? Is it a special retailer?
