A very clean, quiet pressing that appears to have been mastered for vinyl by someone who knows what they are doing. Lots of nice low end and the guitars in particular have a nice presence compared to digital version. This...

An amazing record but a less than perfect pressing. There is some noise in quiet passages a few times including one low end thump that came and went on the end of side two. Still, I think the overall sound...

A very well pressed album that isn't matched by the packaging. Musically it is a strong follow to "Armchair Apocrypha" but feels like a smaller album at times.

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...

Although not as compelling or original as her first record of covers this album still stands up as one of Chan Marshall's better releases. The quality of this recording, mastering, cutting and pressing is across the board stellar. They didn't...

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...

Robyn Hitchcock's first three albums repackaged with five full LPs of bonus material. Hitchcock's talent and whimsy are on full display here, and 90% of the unreleased bonus material is good to great. However, while I admire Yep...
