    A lot of distortion on my copy, sadly. Side B basically unlistenable as a consequence.

      Excellent reissue. Perfect pressing, very flat, very quiet. Same goes for the bonus disc. Sound throughout is excellent. I have to say I went through a few copies when this first came out and I could never, ever find a good pressing. They were all flawed to some degree. Now this comes along however-many-years later and it's pretty perfect. Worth the wait.

        Stevie’s magnum opus. Masterpiece. I’ve always said Songs In The Key Of Life and Prince’s Sign O The Times are the best albums ever created. EVER. This vinyl sounds amazing (after a good cleaning).

          Sounds great after cleaning. Definitely recommend replacing the paper sleeves that it came with, too. It had a lot of debris that made it noisy before the clean.

            Anyone's 7" label flipped?
            Side E's label says it starts with all day sucker
            and Side F's label says it starts with Saturn
            But they both play the correct sides.

              Just picked this up at Target for 35. It had a lot of debris and some skuffs that didn't impact playback. Pretty flat. Sounds really nice after cleaning.

                This thing is SO dynamic. One of the most dynamic records I own. Great pressing!

                  My copy thankfully sounds better than it looks... I was worried when I saw it right out of the sleeves.
                  What a cooker of an album!

                    I can't find the cat number for this release (0600753164228) on my album although mine matches up with everything else

                      Feels like 180g to me. 5 more words to finish.
