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.
Audio quality is fantastic, boasting a rich, warm analogue tone. Packed with deep bass. Side one kicks off with Street Walker, not Right as Rain, which is actually the third track on the record. Seems like a bit of a mess-up by whoever handled the mastering, I'd say.
This is an amazing vinyl pressing. The sound dynamics are fantastic, with powerful, deep bass and crisp, clear highs for the horns. The vinyl is super quiet, with no noticeable surface noise, and it comes in a high-quality poly sleeve (I think this release is the same as the one in the larger QRP box set, which was also excellent). Unless Robbie decides to put out a 50th anniversary edition of this album in a few years, I can't see this sounding any better. The songs are fantastic too! If you can find a copy, grab it.
The quality of my copy is fantastic, and it even includes a nice inner sleeve!

This pressing is absolutely amazing! The sound dynamics are fantastic, featuring powerful, deep bass and delightful highs for the horns. The vinyl is incredibly quiet, housed in a top-notch poly sleeve (I think this release is identical to the one in QRP's larger box set, which was superb). Unless Robbie decides to put out a 50th version of this album in a few years, I can't picture it sounding any better than this. The tracks are fantastic too! Grab a copy if you have the chance.
