Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
Love the orchestra, love the moody blues, all around good vibes and DIFFERENT!
Seems awesome but I got 2 and both make way too much noise. If anyone’s got a (mostly) quiet one they wanna sell, plz msg.
I’ve got around ten copies of this album—some from the US, some from the UK. The US pressings sound the best, to me at least. Out of all of them, this Terre Haute pressing is the clearest. Just one tiny scratch, and the sound quality’s better than the rest. I’d give it an eight or nine out of ten.
Hard to believe there aren't any reviews for this absolutely fantastic record. I also own the 50th anniversary 2017 reissue which allegedly uses the same mix as this record, and have a hard time believing it because the newer record is inferior in every way to this one. My copy is flat, nearly free of ticks and pops, and dynamic.
Physically, my copy suffers from none of the defects others have noted. Mine is almost perfectly flat with a properly drilled hole. Typically, a release like this would be five stars easy, but like others here I take issue with the quality of the sound coming off the otherwise perfect vinyl. In a vacuum, this record would make most people who buy it pretty happy--it plays without fuss (except for a little tick during the first minute or so on side one), the orchestra sounds terrific, and the band's accompaniment is laid back and smooth. Only after a listen to my 1968 copy of the album do the flaws with this release become evident. As another reviewer mentions, acoustic guitars easily heard and even prominent on the 1968 copy are pushed way down and barely audible. High frequencies are airy, percussion is detailed and shimmery, and vocals are clear and proper in level with the rest of the mix. I have a hard time believing the 1967 stereo mix--which must be the source for my 1968 album--was used for this record. If it was, then the remastering job applied to it has to be one of the worst ever done. The odd bit about all of this is that my fellow vinyl-loving brother gave me this record after I complained to him that my 1968 copy wasn't playing properly...distorted and fuzzy. Turns out that was a combination of the rig it was playing on and the fact that the record wasn't completely clean. Now, on a properly old and rugged SL-Q2 turntable and ridded of all the detritus, the 1968 record blows this one away.
