Description
'RLSS' on side one, 'LHSS' on side two. Fidelity on both sides is equal, sounds fantastic.
This copy sounds incredible. Everyone loves a Monarch RL press, but I'd argue from my own experience that these Terre Haute pressings were superior because they were pressed on higher quality vinyl.
Fully play-tested with headphones, no skips.
WLL: plays with some surface noise right at the start that quickly gets pushed to the background. Rest of the track plays solid VG+. Sounds incredible.
WIASSNB: has a small feeler that rotate clicks through around a third of the track, but it is easily buried under the music during the choruses. Plays VG+ past that.
TLL: has a few pops about two-thirds through the track, the rest of the tracks plays VG+.
TY: some surface noise, as would be expected on a track with plenty of quiet passages. No noise particularly loud or distracting.
HB: the best I have ever heard this track sound. This tracks always seems to be a highlight in fidelity on this album, here it really shines. Plays solid VG+.
LLW: Sounds great, nothing to really note here. Solid VG+.
RO: has some surface noise through the quieter verse sections and during the fade-out, but it never really comes close to overpowering the music. Easily solid VG with VG+ passages.
MD: a few light pops about two-thirds into it, rest of the tracks plays VG+.
BIOH: some surface noise through the intro, nothing overpowering the music itself. Rest of the track plays solid VG+.
Cover: VG (some general shelf wear, nothing bad)
Disc: VG-/VG (side one is given a lower grade due to that small feeler on the second track, but is VG otherwise. Just some general hairlines and scuffs visible under bright light)
