pgross Jun 26, 2024
a great pressing . mastering is well balanced . just love Tanita Tikaram vocals , unique and its a trademark . recommended album
MischaKlein Jan 14, 2024
Klanglich eine echte Überraschung! Sehr detailreich und eine phantastische Dynamik. Eigentlich wollte ich die Platte (ungehört) verkaufen, weil das nicht meine Musik ist, aber nun hat die Scheibe doch den Weg ins Plattenregal bei mir geschafft!
PaulJP54 Dec 12, 2021
Great dynamic sound, with a lot of detail.
The vinyl is dead quiet.
Rosco10 Oct 26, 2019
Not normally my cup of tea but I ended up with this album in my collection somehow and played it as I couldn't afford to buy more LPs.
Roll on thirty years and it still gets played and have just replaced it with the reissue. It's just a good album and Valentine Heart is a masterpiece.
