USA FIRST PRESSING BLACK VINYL ALBUM WITH ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER SLEEVE.

Why buy a first or early pressing and not a re-issue or a ‘re-mastered’ vinyl album?

First pressings are made from first generation lacquers and stampers. They usually sound vastly superior to later issues and re-issues (which are often pressed from whatever tapes or digital sources are currently available - many so-called 'audiophile' new 180g pressings are cut from hi-res digital sources…why buy an expensive CD pressed on vinyl and experience the worse elements of both formats?)

First or early pressings nearly always have more immediacy, presence and dynamics. The sound staging is wider.  Subtle instrument nuances are better placed with more spacious textures. Balances are firmer in the bottom end with a far-tighter bass. Upper-mid ranges shine without harshness, and the overall depth is more immersive.  Inner details are  clearer.

On first and early pressings, the music tends to sound more ‘alive’ and vibrant.  The physics of sound energy is hard to clarify and write about from a listening perspective, but the best we can describe it is to say that you can 'hear' what the mixing and mastering engineers wanted you to hear when they first recorded the music.

SLEEVE: EXCELLENT MINUS, STILL IN SHRINK WRP WITH ORIGINAL STORE PRICE STICKER ON FRONT.   INNER SLEEVE HAS MIDDLE SEAM SPLITS.

DISC[S]: EXCELLENT MINUS. NO SCRATCHES, JUST A FEW LIGHT HAIRLINES. CLEAN LABELS.
