Great record, great sound, pressing is flawless. I enjoy listening. I recommend it.
Played on:
Technics SL-100C, Audio Technica VM-95C/E/ML (depending on record condition and taste), Rega Fono Mini A2D MK2, Technics SU-G700M2, Yamaha NS-777 -
To be honest I'm not a huge Suzanne Vega fan but this is a record I always wanted to listen too and I'm not disappointed. It sounds wonderful..clear and dynamic, the instruments especially come through really well. Nice pressing.

Breath taking Quality. This should be my demo Vinyl to demonstrate the clarity of sound that can be achieved. -
Very good quality on this release. Pressing is nice too.
I made a needledrop of one of the tracks from this vinyl record - You can find it on the right side in the videos - Under the name: Suzanne Vega - Wooden Horse (Caspar Ha's Song) (1987 European Vinyl)
-
A great release without clicks, brilliant quality, I listen to the Sas stylus from jico -
I when this recording came out. I was indifferent to Luka. FF to 2021 and I bought a clean copy because my wife liked the record. I just have to say that everyone involved with this record should be very proud of their work. It sounds fantastic! Well sung, well played, well recorded and engineered.
