SUPER BETA! Vinyl record pressing reviews and nothing else 
Reviewed by Jeb Banner on 03.09.2009
As much as I love this album I can't say I recommend buying the vinyl version. I hope they eventually re-issue it with an eye towards vinyl pressing quality and some more extras. A gatefold would have been nice for a psych record like this.
| Ratings are based on a scale from 0-10. | |
Overall Sound: |
6.00 |
| Seems like the low end isn't represented very well. Probably due to the sides being pretty long- 20+ minutes each from what I can tell. Sound is really average, doesn't add much to the digital version | |
Pressing Quality: |
6.00 |
| Has slight weave that creates some low end issues on my pressings. Seems to add noise very quickly. As noted above the pressing is trying to get a lot of sound in two sides. Sound have have been 3-4 sides to do it right. | |
Vinyl Noise: |
6.00 |
| A good deal of background noise through out, worse on side 2 for some reason. | |
Overall Artwork: |
5.00 |
| Nothing special but I do like the swirly inner sleeve | |
Overall Extras: |
3.00 |
| Almost no extras, no digital download, only a nicely done inner sleeve. Bare minimum | |

Jeb Banner I've been collecting vinyl for over 10 years and have a collection of about 2000 albums, give or take a few. My musical taste lean towards Classic/Indie Rock but I... Jeb has reviewed 11 other Records. |
