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.
I'm not entirely confident that my version is this particular one. The labels on mine are RED and black, not pink and black or orange and black like other editions. The front cover has the blue nipples, and the back of the sleeve looks like the pictures of the orange-black version, not this pink-black one, but...three sides match with variant 4 of this pressing, except side A's runout is A5 instead of A4. The rest are B6, C7, D5 just like variant 4. Any thoughts on what I'm dealing with here?
My copy has "KPG@ATM" in the deadwax, but I can't spot the Ⓤ for United on any side. For instance, Side 1 just has "1-48140-1-SR1-A KPG@ATM" etched in it. Has anyone else come across a non-United Record Pressing version like mine?
Me impactó, disfruto su sonido. Lo aconsejo, pertenece a la gama de LN.
This version of the album sounds absolutely fantastic, and I have to give Kevin Gray most of the credit. Unlike other versions on CD or vinyl, this one isn't "brick walled," so you can finally appreciate the dynamic range of the music. It's fantastic and definitely worth seeking out if you care about sound quality. However, the presentation of the record leaves a lot to be desired. The pressing is just average, thanks to United, and the overall packaging is quite flimsy. The discs themselves are quite fragile and prone to warping. Plus, they come in paper sleeves that scratch the discs and need a good cleaning to remove all the debris. I can confirm there are some manufacturing issues, like missing discs, as others have mentioned. But honestly, I'm just glad they didn't mess it up completely like they usually do. There's very little surface noise, which typically happens with URP. So, ultimately, these issues don't detract from the sound and music. Finding the correct version is a bit tricky, even on discogs. Most versions share the same barcode, and there's little on the packaging to identify the version. As a result, most sellers here list the wrong version. I had to go through 9 sellers before I found this KG cut. Before buying, ask the seller to verify some details: If it's sealed, your only clue is the small text on the back indicating it was made in the US and mentions "AOL Time Warner." This means it's the 2002 US pressing. If it's opened, you're in luck because you can have the seller check the runouts. "KPG@ATM" is all you need to confirm it was cut by Kevin Gray at AcousTech Mastering.
el sonido está bajo, el volumen es muy bajo, no estoy conforme, la verdad, si es un disco económico…
