The sound quality of this pressing is absolutely fantastic. However, since there's a ton of music crammed onto each side, you've got to crank up the volume quite a bit, which unfortunately also boosts any background noise unless you've got a top-notch copy.
This initial US SRC pressing (E.A.S.T. text imprinted on the R-side of the label) delivers fantastic sound quality. The audio is vibrant, dynamic, open, and clear. Based in Olyphant PA, Specialty Records Corp. [SP or SRC] served as WEA's "EAST" Coast production facility.
I've been wanting to get this album since I got my record player, but it was never on sale until Black Friday, so I grabbed it. "Sweet Child O' Mine" is the best song ever, no question. This record, though, has left me really let down. It might be the worst out of the 50+ records I own, and that includes some used ones. The sound is just lifeless. There's no depth to it. The instruments overpower the vocals, and that would be fine if the whole thing wasn't so flat. Nothing really pops, it all just blends together. I've heard better quality MP3s, honestly. I'm really bummed about this.
Ah, the 80s. Digital was just around the bend. CDs were ready to take over. I reckon because of that, this record just feels a tad squashed to me, the instruments don't quite separate like they should, and the soundstage is rather narrow. Nothing truly shines on these tracks - it's all one big, blended sound. Sure, this was the era of big, loud 80s heavy metal, but my LPs from the 70s just pull me in more. That said, the Japan pressing is dead silent as you'd expect, no bothersome hiss, pops, or clicks like you often get with American pressings; the vinyl is pristine, not recycled, and I reckon the Japanese took better care of their records, so my Japan vinyl is flawless.
Incredible new release! The foil tip cover looks stunning and the 2018 version sounds fantastic! Definitely worth checking out!
