I’ve had a Cisco pressing and got rid of it because it didn’t sound right, this pressing certainly ticks most of the boxes, sounds real and authentic and yet uncovers great delights compared to my early dull early UK press, seek it out and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed, PS mine is the copy with the red back to black sticker on the shrink wrap -
Bought in 2017...decided to pull it out to consider if I want to buy the new URHQ, and if money were no object, which can be hit and miss, I might opt for the URHQ, but VERY satisfied with this pressing. Surprisingly so. Now there's the: "I don't know what i don't know" aspect, but I have pressings of other LPs that are ok, or marginal, tho I try to get the better ones...but this one is very satisfying. Great soundstage, dynamics,..Very grateful to have it. -
Very nice sound copy. Was a little hesitant because of the "Back to Black" label. Those have been hit n miss but this one is good to go. Very quiet and clean sound. Anxious to compare to the new 2023 version which should be in the mail any day now. -
Edited one year agoLittle bit of non-fill start of side 2, otherwise glorious audio perfection. Picked up from a record fair for £15 -
Bought it a year ago at a record store in my hometown (FNAC) for sale at cheap price . Only 8 euros !! An absolute bargain for this killer album and a stunning press ! Sounds incredibly good for a Back to Black Reissue (Wich is really rare for this label)
Grab it if you find it at a reasonnably price ! -
Outstanding. Amazing master press and quiet as hell after a good clean. Well worth the price over the more expensive MoFi or Analog Productions. -
Left channel non-fill. Both sides throughout. My third attempt on getting a good copy of Aja. B2B is not doing me any favors. Spin cleaned it, no diff. -
-
Fine release, optimal production to listen on high standard hi-fi.
The stereo is perfect,
Great record, every song sounds up to date ! -
