A great album, I recommend picking this up even though the pressing could be a little better with less noise.



Ratings are based on a scale from 0-10.

Overall Sound:

6.00

This is a mid-fi recording and the vinyl version doesn't dramatically add to the sound.
 

Pressing Quality:

6.00

Not a great pressing but does the trick overall. No noticeable weave.
 

Vinyl Noise:

5.00

Some noticeable noise in quiet passages. Not a deal breaker but definitely more than I would want.
 

Overall Artwork:

7.00

Not bad, good insert with lyrics.
 

Overall Extras:

5.00

Packaging and inserts are fine, nothing fancy here.

Hi there, This record was actually pressed at Erika. When you have a chance could you please remove United from the side bar info. Thanks
