SUPER BETA! Vinyl record pressing reviews and nothing else 
Reviewed by Finn Swingley on 06.03.2009
Prince's classic 1984 soundtrack album that stormed the world. It's still good to this day, despite some dating 80s keyboards. Much better than the film! I bought this to compensate for the fact that I passed up an amazing European pressing that I saw in Europe (for about 25 euros). I may never know what that pressing sounded like, but at least I have a really nice copy now.

| Great sounding record of course. It's a classic. I listened to this back to back against my original copy and this is just as good, only a lot cleaner and sharper. | |
Pressing Quality: |
8.50 |
| Very good. I think they used the original analog masters here. It sounds clean and clear like a CD, but with the broader range you expect from vinyl. | |
Vinyl Noise: |

| Extremely clean and quiet pressing. No complaints. | |
Overall Artwork: |
6.00 |
| Well, the original artwork was always a little cheesy. This is an exact replication, down to the unreadable lyrics on the insert. It might have been nice to have some extras though in a relatively pricey repressing. | |
Overall Extras: |
5.00 |
| None to speak of, though the anti static heavy plastic inner sleeve at least keeps the record clean. | |

Finn Swingley Hi. I'm Finn. I've been an avid record listener from a very young age, but only started seriously "collecting" records when I discovered they were much more affordable than CDs and... Finn has reviewed 4 other Records. |
